It's liquid bloody gold. 😭 Q: How do you find pumping? And how are bottles working out for baby? Chances are it's a bumpy ride.. . "Because, to an exclusively breastfed baby, bottles are, simply put –weird. . "So it should come as no surprise that when offered bottles for the first time our babies will, sometimes, freak the F out." . #WokeMama Libby @honeysunnydays spells out why bottles aren't easy--but how they can work out if you werrrk at it. .

How long did you carry for? 💛 Reminiscing about #babywearing cus iyra too heavy now & it hurts! 😭 Anyone else miss it or should I just be relieved?! It so convenient and cosy. 3/4 months to go til next newborn gets taken everywhere like a sack of potatoes tho 😍 [Art by @tayneetinsley]

#WokeMama friend & mega musician @kellyleeowens says it like it is 👈🏽 #repealthe8th

"I own my own business, working as a Doula, which gives a lot of flexibility. . "We recently moved from Copenhagen to Toronto, where we were lucky to find a small daycare with just 5 children, run by a very supportive and gentle caregiver. . "Take time to reboot without feeling guilty. Being a mum is hard work. . "You have to take care of yourself, to take care of your baby. So enjoy some me time and return refreshed and full of energy for your little ones." . Loverly interview about self care and raising kids consciously, with #WokeMama and magic Doula Natalie @shantidoula, link in bio 🌎💆🏼✊🏼 . #selfcare #breastfeeding #breastfeedingmoms #breastfeedingmom #breastfedbaby #breastfeedingmums #breastfeedingmum #breastfeedingmama #breastfeedingmamas #breastfeedingmother #breastfeedingawareness #consciousliving #consciouscommunity

Reminder to check this one off your list today. Without guilt. Somehow. 😑 [Art by @makedaisychains]

🤸 yup - including dealing with trips to the doctors for big evil needles!! NEW post live on the blog about the choice to get vaccinations, written by @naturalbeautywithbaby - tap link in bio ✌🏽💛💛💛 [pic via @lactationvilla]

To vax or not to vax, that is the (worst) question. 🤔 We are playing god with our kids, whatever we choose.. . Helen @naturalbeautywithbaby chose TO. In this blog she says: "Like most parents, we read about the controversy surrounding some vaccines, especially MMR, and decided that the benefits outweigh the risks. . "We believe that herd immunity is important, so this also influenced our decision." . Are you on the fence? What helped you make your decision? It's such a massive one - and we support all mamas whatever informed, evidence/science-based decision they make. . Let us know your thoughts below - but be kind and open minded, as your thoughts may contradict what another mama has carefully chosen for their child, their 🌎! 💛🌼💛🌼💛🌼💛🌼💛🌼💛🌼 .

Note to self/everyone else 👭💛 [art by @drawnbymary]

Meet awesome #WokeMama Heidi @tigermamma74, chatting about mothering in the 90s compared to now! . "I started my motherhood journey at the age of 19 and have always had a strong maternal instinct; I had 3 younger brothers and was assigned the job of baby whisperer at 9 years old! . "I’ve always breastfed, co-slept and been led by my children’s needs. 👭 I truly believe in mothering this way, as it has given my girls the emotional stability, the confidence 👑 and unconditional love to have the independence to become strong well-adjusted human beings." 👈🏽 . Heidi has so much love and wisdom to share with yawl 💚 Hit the link in our bio for her full interview! 👆

Yass this be us in 50 years 😂 revenge on manspreaders ✊🏼 [via @uptownmilk]

We are a bit obsessed with #WokeMama Leslie @comadre.wellness / @les1ie - she talks to us about dealing with depression and anxiety, and building a kick-ass support network. So much wisdom and strength. ✊🏽✊🏼✊🏽✊🏼 . "Being a #WokeMama means committing to your own self-love. It sounds cliche but the saying is true that you can’t pour from an empty cup. 👈🏽 . "Children are very perceptive and they know when we are being unloving 💔 with ourselves and as resilient as they are, they also can’t fully ward off being affected. . "Being a woke mama also means recognizing the need for supporting other mothers. 👭 This is where education, support, and advocacy come in. We need to support these networks of mothers mothering each other. This is healing for us and for our children and future generations."🌱👑 . Tap the link in our bio for the life affirming full interview from loverly Leslie 🌼🌸🌳

😣 Can't be Fd to mumsplain why u cosleep/feed to sleep/wear baby all day? Fed up of explaining why it's normal that your baby doesn't sleep all night? . There's some facts you learn as a new mama about sleep that you prob didn't know before, so it's not everyone else's fault they ask whether your baby is sleeping -- and judge you when you say "nope". (But it still sucks). . Our latest blog from sleep expert @_jojodoula is filled with facts you can chat back - hit the link in our bio and win the great sleep bish off 👆 💤💤💤💤💤💤 [art by @drawnbymary]

We are a society OBSESSED with sleep: the lack of it, quality of it, and how to “fix” our newborns’ sleep. But babies - and humans- aren't designed to sleep all night. . That was a concept left over from the Industrial Revolution, designed to get people to work MORE and make more money. It ain't right. So let's stop forcing our kids to adopt unnatural sleep before they're ready, when we don't really know how that impacts their development. . Let"s go easy on them. And us! Find out more in the latest by @_jojodoula - link in bio ☝️🏿☝️🏿☝️🏿[pic by @sarahockwellsmith]

Go on, say something nice to your belly. And follow @makedaisychains for (not) boring beautiful self care reminders 💚💚💚
