Always a HUGE eye opener and very reassuring to actually see approximately how much (or actually how little) your breastfed baby needs per feeding!nnSurprising?nnFrom my Online Breastfeeding Course, Simply Breastfeeding! ❤️

Anyone potty training right now? 😍

How many loads of laundry do you do per day? Per week? 👕

If this is your first or your last, if you adopted or waited for what feels like an eternity, you are here now and your heart knew it all along ❤️nn(📸 @growupbrite)

🍏 September is Baby Safety Month 🍏nnBabies and toddlers love imitating everything they see you do! This includes cooking in the kitchen; they see you pulling colorful items from the fridge and cabinets and placing them onto the counters and onto the stove.nnSince your little is so curious they may try to reach up and touch the stove to try to help out! This is why it's especially important to childproof your kitchen 🍳nnSome tips for baby proofing your kitchen:n-Use back burners whenever possiblen-Make sure handles on pots and pans are turned toward the back of the stove, not hanging out where little hands can grab them!n-For extra safety, use a stove guardnnLuckily, our partners at Qdos have you (and your stove!) covered with their Adhesive Stove Guard.nnCheck out the link below to find out more about the stove guard and protect your little one from scalds and burns! 👇nnhttp://mybabyexperts.live/QdosBabyProofing

✨ Cord Ties ✨nn"Did you know there's an alternative to using the plastic clips hospitals use to tie off your baby's cord?nnHistorically, rubber bands were used to tie off umbilical cords and despite claims that cord ties increase the risk of infection, the World Health Organization's take on alternate cord ties is relaxed.nnIt is recommended to sterilize your cord tie or purchase one which has been sterilized.nnBenefits of alternate cord ties are; closer skin to skin contact, increased comfort levels for baby, less risk of them getting caught up in clothes, etc- and they're pretty bloody cute!nnAs with every birth, you've got choices."nn(📸✏️ @lifeandlens_photography)
