Thanks again to resident expert Dr Christine Fraser from Health Creation Centre who this month talks us through some 'tummy time' exercises for post bub bodies. Christine uses these kinds of exercises with new mum out in Ocean Grove, so if you'd like a more personalised and detailed chat with her, make sure to give … Continue reading Dr Christine Fraser on tummy time for Mums
Ok, demon might be harsh. But not right now on a Sunday morning, after spending all night awake. I would previously gloat about Evies sleeping, she might wake once for a feed between 7pm and 7am, but this last week she has been up almost every hour - whether for another bottle, or just a … Continue reading Sleep, demon baby
After our social media call out to get Tiny Hearts First Aid down to Geelong, I have decided to host a course night at my house. I have plenty of space, and think it would be excellent to meet you all as well as learning some really, really important things. A little about them.. Hero … Continue reading Tiny Hearts First Aid In Geelong

Knowing we had quite a bit in there, … Continue reading Pump, pump pump it up.

At first when I heard the terms thrown around in mothers group, I literally had no idea about what they were talking about. I just … Continue reading I don’t believe in ‘wonder weeks.’
So I read a really, really interesting article today. It was something my mum showed me and asked my thoughts on and thought I would like. I think it really interested me because it's something that may or may not be something that has happened to many new mums, but certainly in my circle the … Continue reading An ancient, common occupation – Wet Nursing.
