She got 99 problems & a sis is legit most of them. Advice on sibling issues hmu? ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ’œ . It's mainly the classic jealousy/attention stuff. Like if zia cries or needs me, iyra kicks off. Usually with her own oscar-winning tantrum or with a bit of hitting me and sis. ๐Ÿ˜” She is also having nightmares and prob related but bedtime lasts about 48 years. . I am reading Siblings Without Rivalry and Calm Parents, Happy Siblings. Got the magical @sarahockwellsmith's book next. ๐Ÿ”ฌ But i just need to know one thing that nobody can ever answer anyway. How long will this last?!?! . . . . #siblings #siblingrivalry #gentleparenting #attachmentparent #attachmentparenting #consciousmom #consciousmum #gentleparent #hippiemum #hippemama #responsiveparenting #parenting #sistersofinstagram #sisters #adviceplease #londonblogger #ap #calmparentshappykids #lifewith2 #wtfamidoingtho

Werk werk werk.๐ŸผWhen will we reach a point in society where parents outside of a workplace (either maternity leave, part or full time workers or SAHM) are seen as doing a relentless 24/7 unpaid job? It may be beautiful, nourishing and fun some of the time, but it's literally back breaking, sometimes soul sucking & always thankless. And we do it on ZERO sleep. ๐ŸงŸโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ˜ญ Population and natural resources issues aside ๐Ÿ˜ฑ - we may ๐Ÿ’™ what we do but we're building everyone's future for FREE. Our time is a big gold cheque that we just can't cash. Yet. ๐Ÿ‘‘ . . #breastfeeding #normalizebreastfeeding #normalisebreastfeeding #breastisnormal #gentleparenting #attachmentparenting #parenting #londonblogger #wokemamas tweet via @barneytopple
๐Ÿคฎ #WokeMama Simone knows how to turn germs into lols.. (but sorry if we gave U this mutha of all bugs!!) Hope everyone is staying as healthy as possible in that bish of a zombiepocalypse out there ๐Ÿ’” . RG @bossmotherhood If the dark side of Suge Knightโ€™s Death Row Records, Leopold II of Belgium & Dracula came together to design a flu virus then me and my 2.5 year old caught it this week. Weโ€™re slowly coming out of it looking like Beetle Juice, so weโ€™re still suffering. Weโ€™ve got dark circles around our eyes and chapped lips but do you know what? I highly recommend it. . If you want to shed all those extra pounds from 2018 or youโ€™re looking to lose that stubborn postnatal belly youโ€™ve been trying to shift for years then clear out your calendar for a week, get infected by this Armageddon flu, plus strengthen your babyโ€™s immune system along the way. Winning! . In Berlin I met a lot of parents who actively wanted their babies to catch as many cold viruses as possible. One mum threw a viral baby party to build up her babyโ€™s immunity. With over 200 common cold viruses out there, i guess itโ€™s best to get the ball rolling early on . If you want to feel glam under the influence of the flu virus, then ride that loss of appetite pony like John Wayne by going on a Hollywood juicing fast too. Down blends of celery, spinach, ginger, cucumber, turmeric, garlic, kale, avocado, Manuka honey (UMF Certified) for breakfast, lunch and dinner :-) . Its equivalent to Nicole Kidmanโ€™s pre-award weight loss plan but without having to fly to LA and pay a fortune for it. . So now back to the REALITY of managing a toddler on day 6 of a killer flu: Weโ€™re practically in quarantine, bedridden, we both have Rottweiler barking coughs. My toddler is howling through each night waking up the neighbours, crying & begging me to make this flu go away. Hmmm. Very far from my glam Hollywood colonic fantasy isnโ€™t it? . Anyways, Iโ€™ve gotta ride this shizzle out. Wish me luck . #momlifeย #fluย #motherhoodย #deathrowrecords#virusย #mombloggerย #londonmum

๐Ÿ’” RG @lobellaloves_jo โš ๏ธ TRIGGER WARNING โš ๏ธ These statistics from the 2018 MBRRACE study are shocking but sadly not new. Maternal suicide is the fifth most common cause of womenโ€™s deaths during pregnancy, but is currently (and has been for some time) THE leading cause of death of mums with an under one year old in the UK. This is as shocking as it is heartbreaking, especially with greater awareness of the importance of mental health during pregnancy and in the first year after birth. But still itโ€™s hard to see in the cold light of day, itโ€™s hard to face as I was almost part of this statisitc. Itโ€™s hard as there is still a long way to go in recognising symptoms, supporting women with mental health problems and providing access to specialist perinatal mental health care. Itโ€™s hard as so many of these deaths are preventable with early detection and support. Itโ€™s hard. Itโ€™s hard but lets not give up, itโ€™s hard but letโ€™s try and change this together. Check on your friends. Reach out. Ask twice. If you, a loved one or a friend feels overwhelmed or like they need help, go see your GP. Youโ€™re allowed to find this hard. And remember if you need more urgent care: call the Samaritans, call 999 or go to A&E. You are not alone, you have not failed and itโ€™s ok not to be ok ๐Ÿ–ค#letschangethematernalsuciciderate#maternalsuicideย #maternalsuicideprevention

Meet #WokeMama Lucy, who says she chose #gentleparenting because "It is based on scientific theory and results inย more confident, independent childrenโ€ฆ why would you NOT do it?!" . Being a #WokeMama to her means "being child-led as much as possible. But also, it means researching as much as possible to find the best way of raising a happy child and in turn having a happy, healthy family." .

Mental health doesn't have to be scary: @club_mental shares tips below (thanks for asking our advice!) ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ’” . RG: ..a study in the โ€œSex Rolesโ€ journal found that a majority of married/partnered mothersโ€”even with involved fathersโ€”assume all or most of the family scheduling & other โ€œmental housework.โ€ Result? A hit on momโ€™s well-being. ๐Ÿคฑ๐Ÿพ Perย @scarymommy: In the study, 9/10 moms said they alone book family schedules; 8/10 were the only ones who knew what's going on at school; 7/10 cared for the kidsโ€™ emotional needs. ๐Ÿคฑ๐Ÿป Soโ€ฆhow can moms achieve better mental health, other than (of course) getting dads more involved in this mental housework? Two motherhood pros share thoughts. ๐Ÿคฑ๐Ÿฟ The pro:ย @murphy.nuala, CEO and founder ofย @moment.health, an app that aids in maternal (and paternal) emotional and mental health ๐Ÿ”ปโ€Realizing we donโ€™t have to do it all is really important. Asking for help or indeedโ€”and dare I say itโ€”dropping our standards of order or โ€˜things to be doneโ€™ is critical to prioritizing time on things that bring us balance.โ€ ๐Ÿ”ปโ€I use the Moment Health App to track my moods regularly [so] I know when and where and why Iโ€™m feeling frustrated, annoyed, content. I added in a custom tag for husband or barking dog, being at home or at work, because it helped me see my stressors.โ€ ๐Ÿคฑ๐Ÿผ The pro: Cle, co-founder ofย @wokemamas ๐Ÿ”ปโ€Integrate mindfulness into your life. [Read] โ€˜The Power of Nowโ€™โ€”life-changing words that make you see each problem as a test or challenge to learn and grow from.โ€ ๐Ÿ”ปโ€Sleep is obviously the key to everything. On the really bad nights, saying goodbye to my usual pattern of staying up late to โ€˜be meโ€™ (i.e., see partner, watch shows, read, chat on my phone) and instead going to bed early really helps me survive.โ€ ๐Ÿ”ปโ€Vent onย @whatsapp. Talking to friends eases stress in instant micro levels and in the long term.โ€ ๐Ÿ”ปโ€Being outside is so good for our synapses. Just seeing that green stuff raises our mood. So choose kids' activities where you can see some sky and feel some dirt in your nails. We love forest school, football, the park, and nature trails. Or just plain jumping in puddles. . [Pic @newmumonline @mummymilestones]
