Those of you who are pregnant or have been will know how it feels to suddenly find difficult some movements (like getting out of bed or sitting up) as the muscles in your abdomen relax due to changes in hormones.

My physiotherapist explained that in normal circumstances (when one is not pregnant), the muscles in your abdomen lead the way in many of your gross movements. So when you decide to stand up… your abdomen contracts first and then your legs and torso follow.

However, during and after pregnancy, this does not happen (they don’t perform their anticipatory function) with the result that movements can be laborious and even painful.

Tip: If you contract the muscles in your abdomen first and then move to sit/ stand up, it is so much easier.

Such a simple tip but it makes a big difference. Try it!

Part 2 of this week’s Blog Talk Radio show explored the necessity of night feeds  when your baby is beyond 6 or 7 months.

This show also revealed a lovely example of the Law of Attraction in action.

On today’s Blog Talk Radio Show from The Breastfeeding Salon we were joined by Dorothy, breastfeeding mother of twins, who shared with us how she managed the transition back to full time work while she continues to breastfeed her boys.

Great tips here for any mom dealing with the ups and downs that life can present.

Maire Clements shed light on baby’s digestion and had advice around the introduction of solids. While Tracy Gary revealed some delicious and simple suggestions regarding early solids for baby.

Part 1 of our show today was prompted by a question about breastfeeding with hepatitis C and how to prevent bleeding nipples.

Maire reminded us that milk is made from blood and lymph and shared again the Conscious Breastfeeding approach to preventing sore nipples. Tracy addressed this from the nutritional perspective.

My input was around harnessing the power of the law of attraction and the power of your mind to support mother and baby in this process.

As a result of pelvic pain when walking (which began shortly after I became pregnant), I decided to seek the advice of a physiotherapist.

One of her recommendations was to take smaller steps and walk using my whole body.

So now I am walking again without pain. My pace is slower at the moment as I retrain my brain, develop new neural pathways around walking and allow more muscles to support me.

During this process, it came to me that I need to take baby steps in all areas of my life now - not just when walking.

So I took this message from my body and started taking baby steps in other areas too. I noticed that as I do this, it seems that I am summoning forth support from other avenues (other muscles) that I didn’t even consider before.

 And as I trust more that baby steps are guidance from my deep wisdom, I relax and grow in confidence thereby attracting more experiences that illicit these feelings.

Perhaps you have pain or discomfort in your precious body.

 What might it be telling you? And how can you take on board this amazing guidance today so that you can attract more of what you want in fertility, pregnancy, birth and beyond with your baby?

Today’s blogtalk radio show with Maire Clements, Tracy Gary and myself discussed baby’s first stage psychosocial development of Trust Versus Mistrust.

During this time, your baby learns (through mom and dad) that he or she can trust the world or otherwise.

We explored how conscious breastfeeding supports this process beautifully and also looked at additional ways that we can help baby to negotiate this stage successfully so that she emerges confident and happy.

This show also focused in on dads, their importance and wonder and how we can empower them in their parenting role.
