How do you do it all? 💜 Somtimes I get asked this, and I just wish you could see me, sat on the floor in the kitchen, surrounded by piles of washing, #feeding the little one, but wanting to get shit done. 💚 Don't get sucked into thinking everyone in your squares has a perfect life, we are probably all still living the same daily #struggles. ❤️ Love to you this morning, YOU are enough 😍

😍Oxytocin is flowing 😘 A lovely #feeding & #carrying #dropin today @ Wycombe Library with our special guests! ❤️💛🧡💚💙💜 Most popular sling to demo today : Ring Sling ♥️ Most asked feeding question : what happens in a home visit with a #lactationconsultant ? 🧡 Best moment: a dad beaming as he understood slings offer far more than just a practical help 😅 💚 Somthings I said I'd share, 💙 🏡Find a sling library & professionals near you @slingpages http://www.slingpages.co.uk/ 💜 🏡For rings to use with woven wraps, search rings for slings ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

This was fun last week, let's do it again 😁⠀ ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜⠀ Social Saturday! ⠀ I know there are more than a few awsome buinesses flowing me, so go on, pop comment & photo on Fb, and tell us what you do :) ⠀ ⠀ #social #socailsaturday #socialmedia #saturdayvibes #saturdays #saturdayfun #saturdayfeelgood #makenewfriends #smallbusiness #smallbusinesssaturday #businessmums #mumsnet #businessdads⠀ 📸 @flutterbycraftstudio

The moment before.. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤 Her eyes went wide as if she was thinking ❤️ Oh my effing goodness 🧡 This is the moment I look for when I'm trying out slings with parents. The moment they find the sling that fits their needs and gives them one hand back. 💛 Interested in what I do? 💚 Come along to the #free feeding & carrying #dropin this Sunday @ Wycombe Library (room 1,floor2). 💙 🤱🏿 1-2 drop 🤱🏼 in with special guest @villagemidwife answering your questions & @seedsoflovemassageandyoga too. 🤱🏻 2-3 🤱🏽 pre bookable paid 1:1 for feeding Or carrying support (one left!) 🖤💜💙💚💛🧡❤️ #ibclc #slings #carrying #feeeding #breaststeeding #parent #library #enamelpins #teething #smallbusiness

Three reasons to read this cracking book by @prof_amybrown ❤️ ⠀ 1.Why Breastfeeding Greif & Trauma Matters is the mission piece of many families puzzles.⠀ 🧡⠀ 2. What ever your connection to #breastfeeding, how ever close you got to your #goals, you will learn somthing useful to you.⠀ 💛⠀ 3. It matters that 80% of #women & #parent begin breastfeeding in the UK, but many will stop before they have met their goals though no fault of their own. This is an issue for us all to address.⠀ 💚⠀ The bounus is it's small enough to read one handed, short enough to get though with the night feeds and cheap enough to squeeze into your monthly budget. ⠀ 💙⠀ If not and you are in #highwycombe, I've got a copy for #feeding & #carrying clients to parouse at will :)

Introduction to slings⠀ ⬆️⠀ For 15⠀ ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️⠀ With many 1:1 tweaks and demos⠀ ⬇️⠀ Early night for me (please kids go to bed on time!)⠀ 🛏️⠀ Have you been in one of these session's with the @villagemidwife? What was your favourite bit?⠀ ⠀ #carrying #feeding #ibclc #tired #babywearing

I didn't know this for the longest time. ⠀ ❤️ ⠀ This is a thing parents misunderstand (inc some health professionals).⠀ .⠀ 😭crying😭 is the last hunger cue, and consistently missing it can affect your milk supply.⠀ 😥⠀ If you wait for crying or consistently settle a baby in a way other than breastfeeding them (dummies, rocking, slings), the supply and demand system gets disrupted. ⠀ Less milk removed = signals to make less milk = problems!⠀ 😰⠀ It's not uncommon to meet mothers with plugged ducts, mastitis who have fallen into this trap.⠀ 🤗⠀ You can't over feed breastfed babies!⠀ 🤫⠀ If you are avoiding feeds due to cracked, sore nipples, it's time for face to face skilled help. Most problems can be helped if not fixed with attention to positioning and attachment alone.⠀ 🤗⠀ Or feeling touched out? Find someone to talk to, there is always a new #breastfeedingsolotion to try out :)⠀ 🤗⠀ #beyondbabyhood The hunger cues get a bit more obvious, with tapping breasts, all the way to shouting 'BOOBIES' in the supermarket.⠀ 🤭⠀ How does your little (or not so little) one tell you that they are ready for milk? .⠀ #breastfeedingeducation #breastfeedingsupport #breastfeeding #cues #dummies #highwycombe #ibclc #beyondbabyhood #feeding

I'll be honest, I'm a wee bit nervous about this #sunday. ❤️ This will be my first #dropin as a Lactation Consultant and the #impostorsyndrome is setting in.. 🧡 If you where thinking of coming, please do let us know so we can work out how much cake to bake 😉 1-2 Pm (2.30 mini available) Room 1, floor 2, High Wycombe Library 💙 This month is funded by #patreon supporters ❤️❤️❤️ #feeeding #carrying #dropin #comunity #supply #Support #Parenting #mother #womenempoweringwomen #parentsofinstagram #free #breaststeeding #ibclc #lactationconsultant

The more we know, the better we can understand.⠀ The more we understand, the more empathy we can have.⠀ The more empathy we have, the more accepted and loved our world can be.⠀ ⠀ We live in a world that allows us to be exposed to FREE education (yes - you CAN learn through social media if you use it in that way!)⠀ If you do anything this week, try diversifying your feeds.⠀ ⠀ Tag someone who doesn’t look like you - but you’ve learnt from while following them! ❤️⠀ 📸 & words Reposting @_risingstrong:

Books to love ❤️ What Mothers Do ( especially when it looks like nothing) by @naomistadlen 🧡 This book changed my perception of what I was doing with my time, in the first year of #parenting & #mothering. 💚 So often, people used to succeed, with face paced jobs, struggle with the gear change new babies force us to make. 💙 This is a book that will remind you of #value in your #everyday and #reassure you that everything is as it should be. 💛 I have a copy in my #client #libray #ibclc #beyondbabyhood

This is one happy duo 😅 💜💙💚💛🧡❤️ #carrying can bring many joys, 🌈 what has it helped you do? ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 #homevisit #feeding #slings @didymos_babywearing #wovenwrap #carryingMatters #carryallthebabies #baby #rainbow #Parenting #beyondbabyood

What parents say..

(Sonia – 1:1 home)

Ahh lovely Tessa found out information for me that she knew would support my religious beliefs and my parental beliefs in nursing beyond babyhood! I am grateful for her expertise and also for her balance in approach in a non judgmental manner allowing me to express all my concerns fully. Even after baby number 6 I am grateful for the extra reassurance and support you’ve given me. Thank you , it makes a difference!

(Sophie – 1:1 Online )
Invaluable support and understanding, an amazing source of knowledge and encouragement, would highly recommend

(Jo – 1:1 home )
Tessa is always fantastic with any question about babywearing, breastfeeding and everything else we have ever thrown at her. An understanding, down to earth actual human, with a beautiful capacity to listen, properly. Would highly recommend.
