Your instinct isn’t a guess.
It’s thousands of years of human survival wired into your bones.
It’s the part of you that wakes before they cry, that senses when something’s off, that feels their needs before they can speak them.

The world will always have an opinion.
Books, blogs, strangers, even well-meaning family — all louder than they should be.
But none of them are holding your baby at 3am.
None of them feel that pull in your chest when your baby needs you.

Tune out the noise.
Tune out the pressure to do it “right.”
Tune into your baby.
Because no one — absolutely no one — knows them better than you.

👶🏻🍼🤱 When your baby arrives, a new version of you arrives too.
You’re figuring things out as you go — responding, soothing, learning their little cues… none of it is meant to click overnight.

Confidence comes slowly, through the messy, tired, lovely everyday moments.
Please don’t hold yourself to some impossible standard.
You’re learning. And that really is enough. 💛

🌸 Having a baby is never easy… and having a premature baby adds worries and emotions that run so much deeper. Today we hold space for the tiniest fighters, and for the parents whose hearts have had to be so incredibly strong. 💜

Couldn't agree more

NO to AI Toys4Toddlers.

There is NO place for AI toys for children under six.

AI toys may look 'cool' or even convenient but they interrupt what a young child’s brain is designed to do. Early year children need real HUMAN CONNECTION, responsive,two way conversation, imagination and sensory play. This foundational experience shapes emotional wellness, builds SECURE attachment and strengthens the neural pathways that help children regulate their feelings, solve problems and develop genuine intelligence. AI toys CANNOT co regulate with a child, they cannot respond with genuine empathy, they cannot teach social nuance or model EMOTIONAL safety. They replace imagination instead of expanding it and they offer stimulation without the HUMAN RELATIONSHIP that gives a child SAFETY and SECURITY.

Young children need PEOPLE not programming. They thrive through PLAY that invites creativity, curiosity, movement, storytelling, messy hands and face to face communication. They grow through loving exchanges, environments and SOOTHED by the adults who love them. What we should be focused on is NURTURING emotional resilience, confidence, EMPATHY, language, early social skills and a STRONG sense of self. These come from shared play, outdoor exploration, building things with their hands, reading together, singing together and having real time to wonder and pretend. That is what shapes a child’s psyche for lifelong wellbeing. AI CANNOT replace that and it should not attempt to.

Make no mistake parents, you get to prevent before it is too late.. did you not learn from 2010 with social media, PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN!

Drives me crazy when people confuse gentle or co scious parenting with permissive parenting!

It’s wild how often kindness gets lost in motherhood spaces — especially online.
So many mums are quick to judge, comment, or tear down… but most of the time, it isn’t really about the person they’re criticising. It comes from a place of exhaustion, insecurity, or feeling unseen.

When we’re struggling, it’s easy to project that pain outward.
But imagine if, instead, we paused and offered compassion — both to ourselves and each other.

Motherhood is hard enough without competition or criticism.
Let’s make kindness the default. 💛

❤️ Sometimes asking for help feels huge, but it can start with the smallest step.
Text a friend. Tell your partner you’re not okay today. Say ‘I need a break’ out loud.
You don’t have to power through everything alone.
