I can see the changes day by day with her... I’ve mentioned this dozens of times before, but I’ll mention it again... she is growing so much faster than her sister did! Or I am noticing it more with her because I know how precious these infant months are... 10 months old already, and this Mama is trying to get as many baby cuddles in before she starts running away to explore the world #mothermuses . . . . . #10monthsoldbaby #littlegirl #momsofinstagram #sweetbaby #mopofhair #prettybrowneyes #girlyinpink #letterboard #teething #momblogger #momdiaries #sablogger
Happy Father’s Day to our special Dad, and to all Dad’s past and present. May we continue to see men standing up to the plate and taking care of their kids. There is a shift in parenting that I am glad to see occurring - cheers to our Dad’s! #mothermuses . . . . . #happyfathersday #dadofgirls #raisinggirls #dads #instagramdad #raisingqueens #modernparents #ourfathers #men #letterboard #letterboardquotes #igersjozi #southafricandad #babyfashion
Today’s #featurefriday goes out to this amazing mom of twins 🐣🐣 I often marvel at Mother’s of multiples - I want to ask how you do it, but that would be attempting to simplify something that is so extraordinary and unique, almost like asking the ocean why I can’t pin a wave, or questioning the mountain as to why it climbs so high. Appreciation to this Mama and all parenting multiples 💜📸 @kimandbenstwins - tag me to be featured #mothermuses . . . . . #momofmultiples #twins #babytwins #appreciationpost #twinning #babyphotography #newborns #pinkandbrown #newbornphotography #maternityphotography #feature #momblog #sabloggers

When women ask me if I’m “the same down there” after birth 😂 or say things like “I don’t want to stretch, I’m scared” - ladies... a reminder that THIS is what 10cm looks like. You aren’t birthing a watermelon. Your body is perfectly designed to birth your baby. Fear is what stops you from doing most things in life, including the most natural part of becoming a Mother. As you may know, I’ve recently qualified as a #hypnobirthingpractitioner - I’m here to support you in your journey to a calm and relaxing birth experience, where you are the owner of your journey. If you’re in Johannesburg and are looking for a different birth philosophy from the typical forced FEAR c-sections which are so prevalent in our country, or if you’re curious as to what instinctive birth is all about, contact me. Let’s take the birthing world by calm #mothermuses . . . . . #naturalbirth #birthsupport #hypnobirthing #hypnobirthingpractitionerjohannesburg #monganmethod #birth #birthundisturbed #newborn #pregnant #birthsouthafrica #instinctivebirth #jozi #doula #midwife 📸 by @scvbirth
Strawberry cheeks 🍓baby led weaning is the idea of letting your baby set the pace for solid foods, by offering foods as whole pieces and not mushed up. This idea indicates that if your little one isn’t able to chew/swallow the food she has been given, then she isn’t ready for that food yet. I followed baby led weaning with Anastasia without really knowing what it was - my own mother or MIL often freak out when my girls eat something that could “choke” them, but I prefer to allow my girls to explore and eat the foods as they are presented. Sometimes I cook the food (like broccoli or butternut) and others are given fresh (like this strawberry). When they do ‘choke’ on a little piece of food, their natural gag reflex expels the food. Obviously I watch them and would intervene if needed, but 3 years and 2 babies later, my girls have never needed me to. Trust your instincts as a Mom and do what you think is best. I still mash some food up at times and feed them myself, but the food is textured and not smooth like the baby food in shops. Isabella is now at an age where I don’t exclude any food groups either - she eats errrrything!
