Trust me when I say this is not even close to the most dramatic bodily fluids I’ve been covered in as a mum and doula. 😂

What’s your best guess? 👀

If a one day wedding took it out of me for a couple of weeks, then I KNOW society put too much pressure on postpartum mums to “bounce back”

There is so much pressure on women to be up, about and back to normal after having a baby.

But birth is a huge physical, mental and emotional event. And becoming a parent is a pretty big life adjustment too!

So… remember, you don’t have to prove anything to anyone.

Slow down, accept the help, give people jobs (it helps them feel good too!) and give yourself the time you actually need… which might be a lot longer than you expect.

Spending those early weeks resting, staying close to baby and taking things slowly can support maternal recovery, breastfeeding, baby’s weight gain and that precious time bonding together.

We weren’t meant to do it all. Find your village!

Ohhh Myyyy Gawwwwwd

Iv tried to film this FOUR TIMES and still can’t get it right. 🫠😂

So here is my last attempt at being real, with no fancy editing. No perfect reel. Just me, falling at being an influencer hoping this reaches someone who needs it 🙈🤣

Because here’s what i’m trying to say!

-The first 3–4 days of breastfeeding can be HARD.

- You deserve support from someone who actually knows what they’re talking about. An IBCLC, trained midwife, breastfeeding counsellor or trained peer supporter.

- If something doesn’t feel right, trust your instincts and advocate for yourself. You deserve to be listened to and SUPPORTED in your own goals.

Sorry for being rubbish at Instagram, but please share this with someone who might need it. Because getting the right support in those early days can make such a difference to your journey, and I cannot help anyone who doesn’t ask!

Honestly, if I could go back eight years, I would LOVE to have had a Kahu Sunshine when mine were little. 🥹

Lightweight, versatile, locally owned, and ridiculously comfy for both wearer and baby.

A sling that makes those everyday cuddles, adventures and nap times even better. It packs down nice and small and even fits from newborn to 17kg! What’s not to love?

Want to try it out? Hire one from me, or go buy one from using coupon doularosie5

Did you know I offer home visits after your baby is born?

Those early days can feel like a lot, and I have found families need someone who nows what’s normal for a baby, and is highly educated and qualified in infant feeding, baby sleep and babywearing to supporting their new journey.

I can be there to help you slow down, feel more confident in your own ability to care for your baby, with practical support, reassurance and space to figure out what works for your family.

People often pre book a day 3 visit, because those early days are essential for getting everything off to a positive start.
I can also plan support during pregnancy, birth and can arrange overnight care.

Don’t hesitate to get in touch today to book yours in to give you all the best start!

A little reminder to myself as much as anyone else…

I think there’s a part of me that will always want to be liked, to fit in and to feel like I belong.

But I’m learning that being yourself means accepting that you won’t always be everyone’s cup of tea. And that’s okay.

I’d rather be honest about who I am, what I believe in and what matters to me than spend my life trying to please everyone else.

So here’s to being a little more unapologetically ourselves. Even when it feels uncomfortable 😅

Anyone else relate?

I’ve been trying to post this photo for ages, and honestly, I haven’t known what to write or say.

Do I talk about birth biomechanics, the use of a rebozo, home birth, doula support?

But in reality, I don’t need to give it a reason. I just want to show you what birth can look like.

This photo shows what unconditional, continuous support throughout labour can look like. Knowing when to step in, when to step back, and what this individual woman needs in that moment.

Not what I think she needs, or what worked for someone else, but what feels right for her.

I might be the only doula who’s managed to get sunburnt at a birth 😂 But this mama needed rest, time and sleep, and that’s exactly what we gave her. Which meant I went outside in the July heatwave to rest… and fell asleep myself 🙈

Her baby arrived calmly, at home, surrounded by her doula, midwife, friend and partner.

Sometimes you need a village, sometimes you need solitude. Birth is so individual.

Sometimes, the most important thing we can offer someone is the time, space and trust to do things their way.

Birth isn’t linear. The body isn’t a machine. Our support needs to reflect that.

If this is the kind of support you’re looking for in 2027, I’d love to hear from you.

Tell me… what did you wish you had known before you started your babywearing journey?

Was it scary to start? Did you find it easy or hard? Did you have a favorite carrier?
