Some people have asked over the years if I’m honest wth clients in the same way I am with friends…

As health professionals, we are taught and expected to separate ourselves from our work and clients. I try to do that, but I am also a 30-something year old mum in the same season you are in. I understand the depths of these trenches! I will also never gate keep information. Clients come to me for holistic assessment and support. They don’t just want another management plan. They are drowning in them! They want answers, cause and effect, a “why”, a “how”, an honest picture of risks and benefits.

I am truly so grateful to have the most amazing clients who trust me and pour their time, energy and devotion into caring for their babies, themselves and their feeding journeys. They always have and always will receive care that is at the same level of best friend energy honesty, like an extension of family. The respect goes both ways, deeply 🧡

On the list of things that make my blood boil is all the misinformation sprouted about how to manage “blocked ducts” (proper name- ductal narrowing) or mastitis.

I’ve seen some truly horrific consequences of what started out so minor, but was managed SO poorly!

Don’t clear it. There is nothing to clear. Rather… calm it!
Think cold packs, lymphatic massage, anti-inflammatory medication or homeopathics, rhythmic feeding in response to your baby.

When clients don’t prioritise their own posture and body mechanics, I often joke that they’ll go and get a massage and be asked “Are you breastfeeding?” out of the blue. Breastfeeding mums spend a lot of time doing so, and poor support and positioning for YOU adds up.

⚠️Headaches
⚠️Shoulder tension
⚠️Back pain

If you need to sit up to start a feed, no sweat. Once baby is latched, comfortable and sucking well, keep a firm hold and lean back. Pop some pillows under your arms, feet up.

Drop your jaw.
Drop your shoulders.
Breathe in and a long breath out. 🧘‍♀️

This was one of the most magical changes to feel within my body. My head, finally stacking over my spine without effort or thought. I remember being in Highschool and a physios taping my back because my posture was so bad. No matter what I tried, it was a push/pull fight within my body.

4 weeks post release and I still have mild tension at the base of my skull but it’s so much better in my shoulders and upper back. It hasn’t disappeared because there’s been decades of compensation, but the proof is in the pudding ✨

Look, I’m not one to beat around the bush 😂 but this is 11pm honesty after multiple working days.

Tell me I’m not alone? 😅

T-Minus two days until I have my tongue tie release 👅

There is a few generations of adults with undiagnosed tongue ties and symptoms that have been ignored. I have connected with so many of you learning about your own tongue ties (mostly since having a child with one) and I am more than happy to share my own personal experience with you. I’ve known I had a tongue tie for about 11 years now and it honestly makes so much sense! However we often only link symptoms to infants, but it’s truly wild if we imagine those symptoms magically dissipate as we age.

As always, this is my own experience and does not constitute individual medical advice. Please see a dentist or bodyworker experienced in oral function for investigation, diagnosis and individual treatment planning.

No judgement here, but we all know someone who can’t gift a voucher or a service to an expecting mama and call it a day. There HAS to be something wrapped up. Feel free to tag someone or send this list to that person 😉

What else would you add to the list? Tell me below 👇🏼

What was your best gift as a new mama? Tell me below 👇🏼

A new mama’s job is to do what only she can do- rest her body, sleep, feed her baby, shower etc. It’s everyone else’s job to ensure that that is possible and not competed with.

I refuse to buy baby shower presents directed at the baby. I’ll always contribute to services that help keep the household ticking over or that care for her (while she cares for her baby). Stuff has its place, but boxes of nappies, baby monitors and clothes aren’t going to feed you, clean your house or give you a massage.

Next time you gift something, consider a voucher for a cleaner, meal service, postpartum doula, midwifery care or IBCLC visit. It’s not a big box with a bow, but it’s a big void that needs filling 🧡

The process of conception through to parenting adults can crack us open. We talk so much about birth, but what about breastfeeding? Sure there’s no way out of birth, and there is with breastfeeding, but it feels so hidden. I’m here to talk about it.

I’d love to know if birth or breastfeeding felt like it cracked you open more? Tell me below 👇🏼
