How I (Finally) Reduced my Pre-schooler's Screentime...

Raising Healthy Mothers ·

2022/11/09

When my son was still a baby I promised myself I wouldn't let him watch TV until he was AT LEAST 5. I mean I survived until much older without a TV so surely he can too. Oh how naive I was! By the time he was 3.5 he was regularly watching 3-4 hours of TV, sometimes more than that. Like most habits that we're not happy with, it crept up slowly and steadily, often out of necessity while caring for his baby sibling. In this episode I talk about: What the suggested screentime limits are for children

Breastfeeding Aversion and Gently Reducing Toddler...

Raising Healthy Mothers ·

2022/11/02

I always used to think that breastfeeding aversion was a clear sign that your body can't cope with the demands of breastfeeding. It makes logical sense. But when I experienced it for myself I realised that logic doesn't necessarily come into it - and the emotions of feeding an older baby is far bigger than I realised. So this week I'm diving deep into the aversion and agitation I experienced way back in early pregnancy with my second, and what I did to manage the intense emotions that brings. I

In today's episode I'm discussing postnatal weight loss. This is a difficult topic because there's such an enormous pressure from society to 'snap back' or fit into your pre-pregnancy jeans soon after giving birth. But that's so unrealistic! And also - so unnecessary, at least for a few months after giving birth. Because your body has done a wonderful thing by growing, birthing and feeding your baby.
