SAME SAME, You think it’d be easier this second time around considering I’ve had experience. Unfortunately, it ain’t the same. Emotions & anxiety were at times beyond control & off the roof. This time it came in a little later for me; towards the 1 month mark. POST BABY BODY Leaking boobs, stretch marks that may be forever noticeable, loose skin…
WHAT’S WRONG WITH BEING AN I’ve had far too many people questioning me why I’ve chosen to do this. From the immediate nurse straight after my delivery, family doctor & through to some of you guys who have DM me with requests for me to address your concerns about this. Let’s be clear though, whether I am breastfeeding directly from…
My toddler’s gotta list of foods that she refuses to eat & it’s multiplying LOl Nova has become quite picky which has lead to meal times being dragged out as her preference determines how quickly she will finish meals. It varies from 10mins to 1hr. A whole forking hour, who has the patience for that. No, not me, not…
Latching On You’d think that from the many months of breastfeeding your first child that it’d be easier with your second, nope. Still hurts like a bish. This is because every baby has a different latching on experience. If your bub is having some trouble latching on then that can lead to breastfeeding problems in the first week or two…

Gender There were so few of you who guessed girl this time around, guess you were all hoping for a boy like I was Lol Nonetheless, still super excited to welcome our second baby girl into our family! As I mentioned in my “Pregnancy with Baby Nº2” post, this bub was very much planned. I’ve always like the idea of…
First of all, thank you to everyone who’s shared in on our excitement since our big announcement. We had been keeping this bub a secret for over 2 months before we told our closest family, friends & then you guys! Covid, isolation, winter & all the lounge wear made it quite easy to cover up this news hence I didn’t…
Have Other Family Members Care For We’ll never forget our first month being newly parents. If only newborns came with an instruction manual. Actually, forget that thought cause even then it wouldn’t be much help as newborns are unpredictable AF! It was like working overtime in manual labour, exhausting. Luckily, we asked my mum to stay over for the first…
Breast Milk – Formula I expressed my milk for the first few weeks then stopped because it was just easier & faster to directly feed from the nipple. What a mistake that was. This made it incredibly difficult for Nova to transition from breast milk to formula as she was highly resistant with bottle feeding. So here’s a…
