As we approach the end of World Breastfeeding week, where the theme is: 'Step up for Breastfeeding: Educate and Support', It was an honour to co-deliver one of 's infamous (and always free) Breastfeeding antenatal classes.  It was great to see so many parents to be and birth partners take time out of their Sunday morning to prepare for one of the most challenging but important tasks they will ever do.

It took me an age to find a picture of myself breastfeeding at least one of my children, and then I realised that that wasn't really something I would have taken a picture of, and that's ok.  But I found this amazing one of my daughter in absolute awe of me feeding her baby sister.  I remember she was fascinated that my body could create this magical milk which would keep her baby sister happy and alive.  And I realised that this was her first education in breastfeeding, seeing her mother do it, at home.  Now she also saw my winces and heard my yelps when it wasn't quite going well, when the latch wasn't quite right, and I was very conscious to not give her or my eldest daughter a negative impression of breastfeeding.  Because there are definitely highs and lows with breastfeeding, even for experienced feeders.  But I've loved being able to do this for all of my children, and I love being able to support others to do the same.  Happy breastfeeding week, and well done to us all, you made it another day!

Not as sunny as I had hoped in West London today, but still no reason not to get out in a green space today 😉 I'll be enjoying Holland park Green spaces this morning with some of you, but wherever you are, look after yourself and try a bit of outdoor space 😊

Tag a friends, let them know that they dont have to be alone if they dont want to be! No awkward small talk, just simply basking in the great outdoors.

I also love the infographic of the Rage Mountain that Mums can go through. Whatever stage your at on the Mountain, always see the importance of self love, and the knock on effect it can have on those you love when you don't.

I love this. This week for me is about replenishing and restoring, and even though I'm possibly busier than I have been recently, I can still pay attention to what I need to stay healthy and present. Hopefully you all can too.

Check in! How are we all doing? Anxiety can make this period even harder, and this is where the power of breathwork and visualisation can be an amazing tool - for pain relief too. I'll be posting a guide to help with this very soon 🤩🤩
