Each new baby is an individual and will have a new set of needs that the last. Remain open minded and don't try and make them fit a mould 😄

The poorest countries can teach us wonderful things. Let's ditch plastic hospital cots and keep our babes close #skintoskin #kangaroocare

Breathe your way to relaxation, when your world seems so busy, mindful breathing can help you to refocus #meditate #relaxation

There are very few true surprises in life, and there is nothing like finding out the sex of your baby after a long hard labour #tryandwait

Those first moments when baby enters the world are precious and magical. Make the most of that time together #skintoskin #preciousmoment
