S E L F - C A R E ✨

A few ideas for your weekend from 🙌 Definitely not easy with the kids running riot but even if you manage a few deep breaths that’s better than nothing. I have just a few chapters of City or Girls left so I’m determined to find some down time to finish that off!
To all those celebrating I hope you also have a lovely Father’s Day weekend. However I know it can also be an emotional and difficult day too, so sending lots of love 💓

How we all started before shoes began numbing and deforming our beautiful little paws
👣
Keep your kids barefoot as long as possible and when they need foot protection make sure it’s natural (flat, widest at the tip of the toes, thin sole, flexible)
Easiest parenting tip out there

My heart really does go out to you all during this time, missing out on classes, meeting new friends. Stay strong, you are amazing ❤

"This is not what you had planned. This is not what you’d envisioned. There are no visits from friends, no loving doula bringing you soup, no “mommy and me” yoga classes, no coffee dates, no stroller walks through the park. There is empty space where you had planned comfort and company. There are long days with no one but your little one to talk to and this big transition to navigate all alone.

I know it’s lonely, mama. I know the walls of your house feel tight and the days feel so long, and you crave a warm hand on your knee and the soft embrace of a friend. You wish for someone by your side to marvel at this beautiful baby of yours and to wrap an arm around you when the feelings get too big and scary.

We were never meant to do this alone. Motherhood has never been a solitary sport. And yet here we are, in this odd chapter of isolation and distance, with no choice but to do it by ourselves.

But mama, know this- We are alone. Together. You are surrounded all the other mothers who are navigating this tender time in isolation. You are held by all of us who have walked the path before you and who know how much you must be hurting. You are wrapped in the warm embrace of mama earth, as she too settles into this time of slowness and healing.

This too shall pass. And when it does, hugs and coffee dates and visits from friends will taste so much sweeter. Soft kisses on your cheek and arms around your waist and gentle laughter in your ear will be the joyful medicine after this trying time.

Until then, hunker down mama. Find the coziest, warmest spot on your couch, sink into the pile of unfolded laundry, and sleep the Spring away, with that sweet babe warm on your chest."

You are not alone mama.

****UPDATE, ALL CLASSES POSTPONED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE**

In light of the new government guidelines released this evening, its with a very heavy heart I feel the need to postpone our current class. I've been agonising over this decision but considering the babies are so young I feel that in order to keep you all safe, this is the best thing to do.

It is not a decision I have made lightly, however I feel in order to keep in line with the government's updated guidence and ensure the absolute best for your babies this is a measure I need to take.
Once this has passed your class will be ready where we left it and we can enjoy it without the fear of becoming unwell. Hopefully in a few weeks, we can come back together and pick up where we left off.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
Hope to see you all very soon

❤️ Happy valentines ❤️

Did you know that massage helps your baby to release the hormone oxytocin leaving your baby calm and ready to sleep. You will also benefit from a release of oxytocin during the massage – as skin to skin creates a feeling of love, bonding, and a connection with your baby. 👶🏻

We were talking about knitted clothes during yesterday’s class, if you know anyone who enjoys knitting please share this post with them 💜 🧶

❤️Update❤️ What an amazing response we have had! Thank you so much to every single person who has shared, tagged, commented and messaged us! We are incredibly grateful!☺️

☺️ We have had so many offers of help and support. We don’t need any more at the moment 😀 Thank you again - you are all amazing!
❤🧡💛💚💙💜

A request from nurses on Ward L47, the children’s intensive care unit.

“Anyone any good at knitting or know anyone who is? We desperately need booties and mittens for our babes and kids on PICU to try and keep their hands and feet as warm as poss ❤️ 🧦

☺️We don’t have any patterns but generally anything that would suit from about 3-6 month size onwards would be so very loved! We cater for children from birth to 16, from 2kg to 100kg- so anything you’re able to drum up in any size is fantastic. ☺️

😌Our children are usually nursed undressed for close observation, so being able to add a pair of knitted mittens/booties and blankets is so well received by our mummies, daddies and careers, and more vitally helps try to warm chilly hands and feet. 😌

😊The postal address is Booties and Mittens, PICU L47, D Floor Clarendon Wing, Leeds General Infirmary, LS1 3EX. ❤️ please let us know where they’ve come from if you post 🤞😊”
