MummaBaby_space Emotional and practical Post natal support for any new mums in the Surrey and Sussex area

I am a postnatal doula working in the Surrey and Sussex areas in South East England. I have trained in baby wearing, mindful breast feeding, mothers mental health, and postnatal massage. I run a check in service as well as minimum three hour sessions where I support a new mother post birth, signposting, reassuring and nurturing her so she can put her well-being first and bond with baby in a safe space. I am also a developing doula companion to new doulas and the Doula Uk Guildford rep.

I’m really good at letting go!!!! 🤣🤣
As long as I’ve planned it, scheduled it, made a list about it and everyone sticks to the plan. I’ve tried to channel my inner Elsa, so many times, but it’s always a work in progress!

In truth, I’m terrible at it.

Motherhood has been teaching me this for years. Running my own business clearly decided I needed extra tuition.

Children change and grow with no regard for any parental responsibility.
Plans change, whether we like it or not.
Work changes and we bend and flex under rules and guidelines totally influenced by powers above and Instagram does whatever the hell it wants and an algorithm, is an unpredictable toddler who refuses to be reasoned with.

And sometimes the best thing we can do is stop trying to control it all and trust what comes next.

Still learning. Still making lists though! 😉💜

Sometimes we simply need to ask:
What would nourish me today?

More rest. Better food. Fresh air. A conversation. A little less rushing.

Start there.

Another beautiful but busy week and the space between doula life, mum life with a year 11 and Sam life, has been a not so consistent balancing act!
1. Time with an ongoing client and her 9 month old at the swings, hanging out and giving mum a well deserved break
2. Playing with sensory toys with another clients bubs as we chat all things weaning and prepare for that milestone
3. Introducing a bottle with a three month old - always easier if someone other than mum can help out, at first
4. Chicken soup for a poorly Mumma
5. The non negotiable cuppa and cake
6. The most gorgeous reiki session with my beautiful friend
7. My brilliant new doula bag courtesy of KIDS ANTENATAL CLASSES - reel coming soon!
8. Godalming Breastfeeding Drop In flyers and playing around with designs to help spread the word

Have a fab weekend! 🎉

Too much of a busy mind
Needs someone there to help rewind
To offer silence, gentle and kind
And let all the thoughts fall behind x

This week, I’m reminding myself that support isn’t something we have to earn, repay or apologise for. It’s a two-way exchange. Sometimes we hold. Sometimes we are held.

I give with an open heart, and I receive with grace.

So perhaps the bravest thing this week isn’t doing more for everyone else, maybe it’s letting someone do something for you.

There is no expiry date on needing your village
So much support is focused on pregnancy, birth and those hazy newborn weeks, but babies don’t stop needing us at 12 weeks and mums don’t suddenly stop needing support either.

As baby grows, the questions simply change.

Sleep shifts. Feeding evolves. Weaning begins. You might be thinking about returning to work. Your baby may suddenly need you differently and you may find that you need something different too.

Support can still look like a health visitor, feeding specialist, baby group, trusted friend, family member or postnatal doula.

Sometimes not having someone alongside you who understands that this bit can be hard too.

The village isn’t just for newborns, and neither am I.

Once your doula, always your doula.

I am safe.
Such a small sentence.
And often, such a difficult thing to believe.

Safe to soften, to stop scanning for what might go wrong.
Safe to not have all the answers.
I am safe.

Such a small sentence.
And sometimes, such a difficult thing to believe.

Safe to soften.
Safe to stop scanning for what might go wrong.
Safe to not have all the answers.
Safe to need someone and Safe to let someone else take the weight.

Feeling safe isn’t just about knowing that nothing difficult will happen, it can be that, whatever comes, I don’t have to deal with it all alone.

Today, I’m practising that.

After a baby arrives, we will always ask how mum is recovering and how baby is doing, but there’s another person who has just had their world turned upside down too.

Partners can often feel a huge responsibility to hold everything together, particularly when the person they love is recovering from birth, struggling with feeding, exhausted or finding those early weeks harder than expected. And they may have absolutely no idea what they’re doing either.

One of the things I love about postnatal doula work is supporting the family, not just the mother.

I’m not there to swoop in and take over from a partner, or any member of family. Quite the opposite. I want to help them find their confidence, discover their own ways of connecting with their baby, and take some of the practical load so they have the capacity to simply be a partner and a new parent.

And I will always ask, ‘How are you doing?”

Because supported partners are better able to support mothers and nobody should have to be the strong one all of the time.

Postnatal care works best when we draw a bigger circle around a new family. I have lots of resources and signposting for new dads, partners and families so just comment below ⬇️ if you would like to know more x
