No tongue tie? Baby going to the breast regularly? Feeding between 5-40mins? Sometimes longer? Yet STILL not gaining weight?

Is baby transferring milk effectively? ๐Ÿ’› After the initial fluttery sucks to initiate your milk ejection or โ€œlet downโ€ does your baby settle into a suck/swallow pattern? If youโ€™re not sure, please check with your health provider ๐Ÿ’›

๐Ÿ’› HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMENS DAY ๐Ÿ’›

From the OG woman of the family my dearest Grandma who is no longer with us but taught be SO much about being a woman and mother. She showed unconditional love, gentleness and kindness always. Iโ€™m so happy my babies got to meet her ๐Ÿ’›

To the present queen of the family my Mum. Beautiful โ€œGrammyโ€ to my children. Strong and inspiring. Running marathons at 70 and living life to the fullest. Thank you for holding me accountable, challenging me and shaping me never to give up!! The relationship we have developed as I have grown feels more like friendship and I love you completely ๐Ÿ’›

There are so many incredible women I have the privilege of doing life with. An obvious bunch to point out is my colleagues. The only ones who have seen the same things I have seen that cannot be unseen. The ones who make a cuppa for you and leave it in the theatre changing room because youโ€™re 8 hours into a shift with no hope of a break any time soon. The ones who surround you when working on the bereavement suite and hold you while you cry silently in the other room. The ones who bring the light and laughter every time they bounce onto the ward. The dark humour and big hearts. Goodness I appreciate you all!! ๐Ÿ’›

There are also many women who I did a season of life with and will cherish forever. The Mum friends who you know when youโ€™re possibly the most depleted version of yourself but keep showing up (and sitting in germ infested ball pitts with you just so you donโ€™t have to parent alone!) ๐Ÿ’› The friends that navigate life events with you like divorce and loss ๐Ÿ’› The friends who remind you of who you are and how you are received by the world when it all feels too heavy ๐Ÿ’›

Then thereโ€™s Maddie ๐Ÿฅฐ My soon to be teen..the one who made me a mother. The one who I learnt all the hard lessons with as motherhood shaped me. The one who has shown me on a daily basis what courage and strength look like. I couldnโ€™t be more proud ๐Ÿ’›

So incredibly proud to be a woman ๐Ÿ’›

Hello! ๐Ÿ‘‹ to my new followers ๐Ÿ’› Iโ€™m Pippa, a registered midwife living in Devon.

A bit about me..I am a solo Mama to 2 awesome humans Maddie & George. I had them before I became a midwife ๐Ÿ’› We have the BEST cockapoo pup Milo who joined our family in September, he is a complete love sponge and has brought so much happiness to our home! I work 30h per week in the NHS this is a mixture of community and Labour ward/birth centre, day and night shifts ๐Ÿ’› I gym, walk, run, love coffee dates, cocktails, prosecco and have a chocolate addiction ๐Ÿซฃ A friend once described me as having the mouth of a sailor and the heart of a saint, I own that proudly. I live with a generalised anxiety disorder for which I take mediation. I occasionally get swamped by this and have to tap out for a bit while I steady myselfโ€ฆI get bummed out that this is a part of me but I am learning to accept it and not be ashamed of it. I talk openly and honestly and Iโ€™m incredibly blessed to have a supportive and caring partner who rides these waves with me and holds on tight until the cloud lifts ๐Ÿ’›

Exeter breastfeeding service was created out of my passion to educate and support families ๐Ÿ’› I am super proud to work within the NHS but I am not blind to its limitations. I needed an avenue through which to channel my passion.

I host a free breastfeeding support drop in each week my favourite little cafe near my home ๐Ÿ’› This is to ensure everyone is able to access help and support if needed!

I provide private 1:1 home visits or telephone consultations in Exeter and surrounding areas for families facing breastfeeding challenges who need more time and a tailored plan of care ๐Ÿ’›

I also run antenatal breastfeeding preparation classes every other month on Paris street in Exeter. THIS is where the magic happens. By being prepared for the journey ahead, so many common breastfeeding challenges and accidental mistakes can be avoided. We have a lot of fun in these sessions and I love the confidence I see it generates in parents as they approach meeting their baby for the first time ๐Ÿ’›

I hope you enjoy this space ๐Ÿ’›

An exciting part of anticipating babyโ€™s arrival is buying products and gadgets! ๐Ÿ’›

Almost all parents will also purchase bottle feeding sets โ€œjust in caseโ€

Why not invest in the knowledge and confidence it takes for a successful breastfeeding journey? Forget about the bottles, steriliser and all the other bits and pieces the clever marketing companies try and sell you. Invest in the intended way of feeding your baby and come along to breastfeeding preparation classes ๐Ÿ’›

For the upcoming dates drop a heart in the comments below and save yourself a fortune.

Sorry for a quiet few days. Iโ€™ve slogged out some long shifts.. As you know I love my job, and I acknowledge itโ€™s a complete privilege but there are times when I think I donโ€™t know how to keep going ๐Ÿ’›

Itโ€™s a bit like motherhood in that senseโ€ฆso many beautiful moments that are a complete privilege, and then moments where you are so broken you donโ€™t know how youโ€™ll get through another day..

I truly believe there is nothing else I was put on this earth for than to be a Mum, and to be a midwife but every now and then a little corner of the earth all by myself would do just fine ๐Ÿ˜

Are you hoping to breastfeed?

Approximately 80% of women start off breastfeeding. By 3 months that figure reduces to 17%. At 6 months old only 1% of babies are exclusively breastfedโ€ฆ. ๐Ÿ’›

It isnโ€™t easy! But it is possible. Equip yourself with the knowledge and understanding of the breastfeeding process and normal newborn feeding behaviours to ensure you have a successful breastfeeding journey ๐Ÿ’›
