I try to protect Sarelle if I’m going to be on m

I try to protect Sarelle if I’m going to be on my devices while I’m breastfeeding.

Most of the time I’m not even on my phone it’s just me and her as I watch her precious face while I nourish her little body.

But sometimes, (let’s be real) it’s my only chance to check some emails or do a bit of work or even watch a show (especially early on when she was doing longer stretches at the breast).

When this happens I like to use my @bellyarmor blanket on Sarelle or around her head or this beanie from @shieldyourbody.

This way I know I’m protecting her as much as I can from EMF’s and at the very least keeping her super cozy.

A babies growing body and brain is super sensitive, of course the best measure is try and keep all devices away from baby but if you are going to use your phone, at least shield them as much as you can.

Breastfeeding is... A very natural act but isn’t

Breastfeeding is...
A very natural act but isn’t easy and isn’t for everyone or an option for all mamas.
It’s takes, time, dedication, patience, commitment and perseverance. And still that may not be enough!
It is beautiful and it is challenging. It can feel amazing and it can also be extremely painful.
You can do it in public or in private.
It’s fulfilling and rewarding and at the same time very depleting and exhausting.
Some women make lots of milk, others not enough. Some breastfeed for two years or more and others for a few months.
It’s nature’s most perfect first food for baby if you choose this path. But it may not be an option or a preferred choice for you and that’s okay.
However you approach breastfeeding (if you do) is beautiful.

It’s something I always wanted to do and all the above has been true for me. It was very trying at times, but overall it has been an incredibly rewarding experience and I’m grateful to be able to nourish my little human with my breasts. This is one of the ways we bond and I embrace every minute of it.

Farmer’s market mornings just got upgraded with a follow up picnic.
🧺
The plan: grab fresh food from local farmers and businesses, and feast with friends 🥒🍅🥦🧀
—-> And I’m lucky to have friends who make fresh gluten free sourdough bread from scratch 🍞

The perfect way to kick off the weekend 🙌🏼

The intro to avocado 🥑

A little unsure but I believe it was a success. It was definitely a weird feeling in her mouth at first and she didn’t quite know what to do with it. But overall pretty good, as she wanted more 🙌🏼🥑
(Swipe to see final video and the whole video in stories) 🤣

I started with it mashed in her bowl with some freshly expressed breast milk. I wanted her to play and explore it with her hands, which she kind of did. Then we used a spoon and a fresh food feeder as well. I will let her lead more over time as we both get used to it.

We started with a quarter avo and I think she maybe got the teeniest bit down. Soo, baby steps. A bit at a time. Right now I just want her exploring and when she’s ready to eat more, she’ll let us know.

I can’t wait to have a new little foodie in the family 🥰💕

Some signs your baby is ready to eat:
🔸reaches for food
🔸can sit up & hold head up
🔸can easily grasp things
🔸between 4-6 months (but closer to 6 is best for their digestive system)
🔸baby opens mouth with spoon coming in

Relly is ready 😍😍😍
Part led, part fed 💚

Making the most out of my morning walk at the Dino

Making the most out of my morning walk at the Dinosaur 🦖 park while Sarelle naps.
Outdoor workouts push me harder. Must be all that fresh air. And the slight overcast was a bonus!
Honestly this workout was 10 minutes and I’m sweating.
20x deep squats
20x lunges
10x leg lifts
20x incline push ups
20x tricep pushups
10x jump squats
Take care of your beautiful body and take advantage of this beautiful weather 🌞 🌲 🏋🏼‍♀️

I was lucky, I didn’t experience a severe amount

I was lucky, I didn’t experience a severe amount of nausea during my pregnancy, just a mild case.
It was still enough to have me feeling off and totally shake up my eating habits.
I described it as waves of nausea, as it would just come over me late in the day and I would hardly want to eat.
Especially vegetables 🤢 🥗🥒🥦!
They were one of the worst offenders. Instead I just wanted comfort foods. I wanted carbs, I wanted salty, I wanted crunchy. That seemed to be my thing 🍌🍠🌮🍜
I know I am not unique when it comes to the quirks of the first trimester.
Many women experience nausea, food cravings, and aversions during their first trimester, and sometimes throughout their entire pregnancy.
I get into the nitty gritty on this episode with nutrient dense foods, supplements, and specific tips to help you throughout this phase - like not letting yourself get too hungry and keeping snacks on hand 🥥🍯🍫🧀🥚

I have never felt more empowered to be a woman than now.
Being a mom has brought my understanding of womanhood to a whole new level 🙌🏼
I have such admiration for all women: mom, entrepreneur, wife, sister, daughter. You are amazing, you are beautiful and you deserve to be acknowledged today and everyday.
Thank you to all those that nominated me and shout to all the amazing and inspiring women in my life @juliedaniluk @joyoushealth @meghantelpner @holisticwellnessfoodie @julieinthesix @rickiheller @healthfullymarried @wendyrose_nutrition @gathertonourish @rheconnects @styledbyjeanine @brownroots_baby @mamanatural @shannamota @jannaarsenault @jaimeslavin @law_of_positivism @kasia_sitarz @lovejenoliver @nevianamaleyko @alina_thehungrypooch @heatherchauvin_ @brandi_rivait and every other woman in my life, you know who you are 🥰

Sarelle started on homemade bone broth last week.

Sarelle started on homemade bone broth last week.
I had mixed it into breastmilk a couple of times, but here she is trying it for the first time on its own with a spoon 🥄
She loved it!
And she’s had about an ounce everyday since.
It feels good getting her started on such a nutrient dense liquid.
She’s getting quality protein, good fats, collagen, gelatin and loads of minerals. All of which will support her hair, skin, nails, gut and tissues.
It feels right. It feels primal.
And to see her bringing the spoon back for more makes me so happy.

On to solid foods soon!!
