A C-section is a birth… but it’s also major abdominal surgery. ❤️‍🩹

And yet, just days later, you’re expected to go home, care for a newborn, get in and out of bed, lift, feed, settle, walk around — and somehow recover at the same time.

If you’ve had a Caesarean, knowing how to protect your healing body in those first precious weeks can make a real difference.

From posture and breathing to reducing abdominal pressure, gradually returning to exercise, scar massage and support wear — these 6 practical recovery tips are designed to help you understand what your body needs while it heals.

Because recovering from a C-section deserves just as much care and attention as the birth itself. 💕

Save this one for your C-section recovery — and share it with a mum who needs to see it.

Your baby has been fed, changed, cuddled, rocked… and they’re still crying. 💔

If you’ve ever spent hours wondering “What am I missing?”, you’re definitely not alone. Colic and unsettled behaviour can be incredibly stressful for parents, especially when there seems to be no obvious reason for the tears.

So what could be behind your baby’s crying? Could it be normal developmental crying, their gut, feeding, sleep, discomfort or something else?

This article explores what colic really means, why babies can become unsettled, when crying should be medically assessed, and the different factors that may be worth considering. 👶❤️

Because sometimes, understanding the crying is the first step towards helping everyone get a little more sleep.
