The early weeks with a newborn can be intense. This blog can help partners be the support mum needs during the early stages of parenthood, from setting boundaries for visitors, feeding support, to protecting their emotional wellbeing.

This blog assumes that you’ve chosen to exclusively breastfeed your baby. I’m not here to push breastfeeding as the only option — far from it. In fact, the very reason I became a Mindful Breastfeeding Practitioner is because I struggled to breastfeed both of my children. I think my feeding experience would have been different, if I’d had a better understanding of breastfeeding and found the right breastfeeding support.

This post is for any new or expectant mums wondering what comes after birth, and how you can be supported.
