The 411 on Breastfeeding After a C-Section – Cake Maternity Guest Article
Partnering with Cake Maternity last year helped me come to terms with my own pregnancy, parenting and post-c section journey. Connecting with this platform is one of my proudest writing achievements and I love having the opportunity to tackle subjects around motherhood and, importantly, breastfeeding. This month, I’m sharing a post I wrote in collaboration with Cake Maternity back when my son was a newborn. Re-reading it aloud, the subject is still tender but the message is just as important, 20 months on. In February, I was rushed into theatre for an emergency c-section to birth my son following a twenty hour back-to-back labour. My gorgeous son, Jack, was born in a…

Jack has the biggest personality and we think that he is thriving. As a parenting blogger, I wanted to share the information that I found lacking as a first time Mum. My Google searches are constantly looking for how I can help him grow and develop and so I wanted to create a post to help other Mamas like me. Please remember that all babies grow and develop at their own rate – please do not worry…

Emma’s Diary Feature: When Is The Right Time For Baby Number 2?
By now, you know me well. I write all about my parenting journey on my blog and as a parent guest writer for Emma’s Diary. I am the happy (and tired) mum to a wild 15-month-old little boy and right now, life feels good. The crazy overwhelming newborn days are well behind us, he’s weaned and eats pretty much everything. Even his sleeping is more consistent and we’re getting more full nights with zero wake-ups than ever before. Life is good. So, naturally, it has resulted in many people asking me when I will go for baby number 2. It’s also got me thinking about it too… Baby number 2: The General…
