It's mental health week. A topic very close to my heart as I know so many close people that have struggled and got to the other side with their mental well being.

With life being ever so much more stressful, more pressure on parents to be "social media perfect", having to work more hours and be there for your family at the same time, being able to function on not alot of sleep!

I just wanted to reach out and say to anyone who is maybe feeling overwhelmed, stressed out, completely on your own- you are not alone. Please reach out and speak to someone as I guarantee we have all felt this to some level and the support that is right for you is out there. My inbox is open for anyone that needs to speak out, feeling like they have nobody to talk to.

It takes a village, let's hold each other up and make those precious memories with our little babies ❤️

Happy Valentines day everyone!! Let's spread a little bit of love today ❤️

Did you know: positive touch eg a cuddle, massage, skin to skin contact; releases those happy feel good hormones.

That's why OXYTOCIN is the hormone of love!!

I'll share the I love you tummy stroke for today and how you can include this and similar in a story or song for older babies, toddlers and older children.

Let's talk about that loving feeling..

The release of hormones when we interact and give positive touch with our babies and children. It's good for developing a strong relationship between parent and their baby, it helps connect with older children also. They are never too old for a hug!

So what are these hormones that are released in positive touch?

SERATONIN - Helps to regulate sleep patterns.
OXYTOCIN- the love hormone. It helps mums who breastfeed as triggers the let down of milk, its associated with trust, empathy and bonding.
DOPAMIN- the natural hormone of feeling good, brain sends positive message linked to behaviours that make us feel good.
ENDORPHINS- released naturally during feel good activities such as exercise or eating tasty foods and affection.

Isnt the body amazing!! To find out more about baby massage or positive touch please email lttlefeet@gmail.com or message me direct 👣❤

I attended Katie's Sign and Rhyme with my youngest and he loved it so much! It was so amazing that before he could even talk he could sign to me what he wanted and he knew I understood him! Another way to bond with your baby ❤️

When your baby is waking during the night it may feel like you’re doing something wrong or that everyone’s baby is sleeping longer than yours!

Newborn babies have small stomachs, so they will usually wake around every two hours to be fed. Some babies will start to sleep for longer stretches when they are 3 months old. In general, most babies will not through the night until they are close to 1 year old and some babies will continue to wake throughout the night even after they turn 1.

It’s important not to put pressure on yourself if your baby isn’t sleeping for as long as you expect, every baby is different and it is completely normal for babies to wake during the night.
