I feel like, my biggest advice for anyone who really wants to breast feed id suggest stay away from pumping. It’s quite common that pumping can mess up your supply. It’s always best to establish a feeding schedule exclusively on breast first.

I think it’s mostly recommended to start using breast pumps after 6 weeks. I’d also recommend not buying formula (just in case) this puts the temptation to almost give up too soon at the first obstacle you may come across.
For example a very common mistake women think when they are BFing their baby is that when they are constantly on you and wanting milk the mum often thinks their supply isn’t there. But a lot of the time this really isnt the case! Your baby is cluster feeding and establishing a supply and this is extremely normal! The first few weeks of breastfeeding is the hardest and once you get past that you usually shouldn’t find any problems.
Please note I know Obviously everyone is different, some may disagree, I’m just offering my own personal experience breast fed 2 babies till they were 2 ♥️

I'm not pregnant and don't plan on having kids but I find these videos so great for understanding what my friends will need when pregnant, or post partem! It's also great for baby shower ideas, thank you! 💕😊

Age 38 and just found out that I am expecting again. Times have changed as its been almost a decade since my last so found this very useful. Thank you. Xx

Don’t have any children just love watching and listening to you Elle can’t wait for the next podcast always set an alarm xxx

Hey all! Third time mom here to offer some tips. Instead of a white noise machine, I use box fans. I have one in each child's room as well as out in the hallway. This not only helps with white noise, but it also keeps the room cool, which aids with sleep, AND studies have shown that having air circulate can help lessen the risk of SIDS (they believe that an improper oxygen/co2 balance in the blood is what causes SIDS).
Also, first-time moms (myself included) tend to be overzealous with the diaper changes. Unless they have a full diaper

[lucielove]

Pregnant with baby g number 4 and really enjoyed your video, it was really in-depth and I love hearing about other mothers thoughts and opinion about certain baby products, your positive attitude makes it that much mor enjoyable to watch 😊
Thank you ❤

[PixiPoppy]

Loving your podcast! It's wonderful ❤️ not sure if anyone has mentioned that on the podcast the adverts are quite a lot louder than your mic (I'm listening on Spotify if that makes a difference!) so if there's a way to turn your mic/recordings up that would be fab! Thank you for all your positive vibes, your presence on this earth is so needed x

[isnafatima-uquc]

[emmaforsey-zkbi]

Found out that I’m having twins yesterday!! I found this so so useful and was making notes throughout the whole video 🤍

[jacquelinecoyle]

Aww beautiful crying here watching you all become a big family again xxx

[Zahh]

I think the fact with the new borns& black & white is the fact that their vision is still coming in so eyes can still be blurry & colours are more overwhelming then the crisp contrast of black & white. I could also be wrong but that’s what I’ve thought aha ❤
