"I guard his energy with a love as fierce as only a mother can, but still encourage him to have his own experiences and make his own way. . "Ultimately, he is part of the new generation of children that will help raise the vibration of this world, and I’m damn well gonna support him in doing so!" . Meet #WokeMama Janhvi @janhvina who talks about how she fell into #gentleparenting over on the blog at WokeMamas.com ❤ . #gentleparent #attachmentparenting #consciousparenting #newmama #newmum #newmom #greenparenting #millenialparent #gentlemama #parenting #londonblogger #mumsofinstagram #parentsofinstagram #newgeneration #indigochild #newfamily #motherhood #montessori #veganmama #veganmum #vegantoddler #veganmom #veganmother #veganfamily #veganbaby
Evenings are like 99% scrolling while breastfeeding in a dark room & 1% scrolling while tryna watch 10 mins of some episode.. before baby's 74th wake and it's back to scrolling while breastfeeding in a dark room again. 👀🧛‍♀️ Can't handle much more 🧠 activity anyway tbh 🤪 . .

"The first few months were pretty tough. I had quite bad post-natal anxiety and having never encountered anxiety on that level before it totally f*cked me up," says #WokeMama Sarah. . "I was terrified of everything, including myself and didn’t feel the immediate blissed-out bond I expected to. Everyone else seemed so loved up but I just felt like I was going through the motions and was a massive fraud and a shitty mother. . "Eventually it faded when the hormones settled at around 4 months and I started to feel normal. But it was so tough cos I just never imagined it would happen!" . Visit WokeMamas.com for Sarah's full profile! We need to talk about maternal mental health a lot more, so when anxiety hits we're less isolated, scared and defeated. 💕 . #mentalhealth #maternalmentalhealth #postnatalanxiety #postnataldepression #depression #anxiety #postnatal #gentleparenting #attachmentparenting #newmama #newmum #newborn #parenting #parentsofinstagram #sunglasses #toddlerstyle #wokemamas
Best post ever from @sarahockwellsmith: Who just sighed at the interview with Harry and Meghan and their new baby when the reporter asked this question? . This is possibly one of the most toxic questions we ask new parents. It sets up incorrect expectations, places undue pressure on the parents and perpetuates myths and misunderstandings about baby sleep. . Babies do NOT sleep 'well' - or correction, babies do not sleep like adults. They are MEANT to wake very regularly (by regularly I mean multiple times per night, hourly waking is not uncommon). They need to feed often, receive bodily contact from their parents (ie hugs) and frequent waking protects them against SIDS. Throughout the whole of the first year (and beyond) night waking is NORMAL. Night waking is common. It categorically does not make a baby 'bad' (I guess this is the presumption of a baby who wakes frequently - if those who don't wake often are considered 'good'?). It is not healthy for a younger baby to get long solid stretches of sleep. . Quite frankly, how a baby sleeps is nobody's business apart from the child's parents. We need to stop being nosy about it. If we must ask anything concerning sleep, it should be "how are you finding the normal frequent wakes? Do you feel you have enough support?" . Sleeping abnormally does not make a baby 'good'. Sleeping like a normal baby and waking often does not mean they are 'not good' (or by default 'bad'). Similarly labelling a baby as good or bad is ridiculous. It's as unhelpful as labelling a toddler naughty, or easy. All children exhibit a range of behaviour, but they are not their behaviour. They are them. Unique individuals. . . We need to stop piling sleep guilt on to new parents. It is no coincidence that 'baby sleep problems' (and associated 'fixes'/consultants/gadgets) are so widespread in modern western culture. In many areas of the world they have no words for 'sleep training' and don't understand what is meant when asked how their baby sleeps. They report significantly less problems with their baby's sleep. No coincidence there! . . . #babysussex #newborn #newbaby #royalbaby#babysleep #sleeptraining #gentlesleep #gentleparenting

Would you buy anything from these dodgy dealers?! 😆 It's soooo beautiful to see how Noa & Iyra have grown as mates over 2 years - but also they're undeniable proof that gentle parenting creates confident, independent and content kids.

In love with the #boyscanbeprincessestoo campaign 👌 cus kids should be who they want to be. The gender stereotype stuff has started already with my TWO year old, who pointed out a princess magazine was "for girls" and paw patrol "for boys" the other day, as well as the usual "i like pink" programming she keeps repeating. Nothing wrong with feminity or masculinity but i want them to have ALL the choices and not feel they have to stick to certain things or look the same as everyone else to remain safely in their gender, or to fit in. And never expected it so young! The more stuff like this that is normalised the better. 🌺 Cle x_X
🌺😍 This viral pic has been doing the rounds on the breastfeeding scene for ages cus of those incredible flower-shaped milk ducts, but it's good to see it hit the mainstream this week. It has made people question why we haven't seen it before -- and therefore why the male body/perspective/choice is always the default and women always the "other". 🖤 From "standard" size car seats and medication doses to bullet proof vests, the world is designed to understand, fit and protect a male body. It's time to see what humans are really made of. Womb power. Standard. 🔥🌎 . [EDIT] We know bodies are not this perfect as is case with most biology drawings - Google to see more realistic image of milk ducts which are more tree root like than pretty flower, with some up around the armpits.

Yesterday baby Zia & me peacefully protested with #ExtinctionRebellion. We borrow the earth from our children... so obviously we must speak for the weak, because they can't. ❤ And it seems the fastest way to get our leaders to listen is by disrupting business as usual. No pissing about. . 💥 We must STOP carbon emission growth NOW. 💥 . In the UK the message has got through to several top MPs. We will see what happens next this week. 🤞 But increasingly, I'm starting to believe that most people STILL don't get it. About 10 years ago I thought maybe they were just scared - and so in denial as the problem seemed too huge to begin to tackle. 😔 Then 3 years ago when they still were not acting I gave up hope, as I thought they were all too selfish to stop making money - even if it meant the death of everyone they know and love. 🖤 Now i think they simply don't actually understand how intense climate change catastrophe will be.💧🔥 . As if the threat of losing their kids and grandchildren isnt incentive enough, it will likely make their retirements a little shorter too. Oh and all living species on earth. But who wants to listen to a bunch of whiney kids. Which is WHY WE MUST START SCREAMING. .
