💘 If you think you're being supportive, but you're coming for the mothers, please just don't.

💘 Blame the system, blame the lack of lactation education that is required for HCP that are coming into contact with mothers from the beginning of their breastfeeding experience. Blame the lack of staffing. Blame the "here's some formula" answers from so many who should do better and should know better, but don't you dare come for the mothers. It is not their fault that the system is failing them and their babies.

💘Until you have physically held a mother up, who has collapsed in tears into your arms when she arrived at a Breastfeeding Group, because for the first time since her baby was born, she felt supported, listened to, looked after, and cared for, quite frankly, you don't know what you are talking about. These mothers matter, their experiences matter. Mothers saying they struggled to find support is not bullsh*t, your post is.

💘Mothers struggle to find breastfeeding supoort for many for lots of different reasons. They do not need your judgement, they need support. They need to feel held, looked after, listened to, allowed to speak their truth, allowed to have their valid concerns listened to and helped to figure out next steps if they need further support.

💘I really don't know what this person was thinking when they made this post, but it certainly wasn't made with support in mind.

💘 Blaming mothers for the system failing them is not supporting them.

💘Do you feel like your little one might be ready to make the big move from their cot to a bed? You might feel differently after reading this post.

💘If any of you are expecting a baby and are wondering which cot to buy, my advice is to get the biggest cot that you can, so that your child will get as long as possible out of it without having to transition to a bed too early. There is a big difference in size between a standard cot and a cot bed. The beauty of a cot bed is that you can use this to help the transition, so their bed remains the same but the sides are taken off, and then they can move to a full size bed when they have fully outgrown the cot bed.

💘My favourite bed for making the move is the IKEA Kura, hands down. You can make it into a floor bed very easily, or use it as IKEA intended as a regular single or a high sleeper, it is so adaptable, affordable and sturdy, they also have a great resale market if you ever want to get rid of it.

💘 This is such a common theme and needs to be spoken about more. The apps will only work for a small minority. If they're not working, just delete them. Don't even use them to track sleep. If your baby's sleep is terrible and you're sticking to what these apps are telling you, it's the app that is the problem...NOT your baby. Please delete them. You can find all you need for free here on my grid.
