As every parent could attest to, when there are kids around it is rare to complete a conversation OR really hear each other when we speak…

I didn’t feel that overwhelming sense of failure the second time around; sure, I was disappointed but I felt proud that I had given breastfeeding another go and maybe it would have continued under different circumstances…

No pain or issues, which I am very thankful for. I do have my oversupply of milk again but am just managing that and it’s settled much earlier this time too!

My fiancé & i were trying for a year going off a cycle tracking app with no success, we both then decided it was time to see if there was something wrong, so we went to the doctor and got everything checked.

I am a person who is asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow and don’t wake at all through the night until my alarm goes off in the morning…

We love that she is an extraordinarily confident and easy-going child who loves crazy adventures and travelling just like us…

My husband was the sensible one and wanted to make sure we had some savings before starting our family.

How I feel like she is teaching me to be the best version of myself just as much as I’m teaching her how to do life.

I have always felt very connected to her from the moment I found out I was pregnant…

After chatting with the midwife she asked me to put on a pad so she could monitor it and 2 minutes later green liquid was there (meconium)…

After a few years of working with my GP and naturopath I was referred to the fertility specialists at IVF Australia…

My biggest sanity has been the great help from my partner who is always willing to do his dad duties, and even better when he works from home which if timings work out I can duck out to the shops or gym..

I was not prepared nor educated on how to parent! I also felt like I was doing something wrong holding or feeding him to sleep. After all we've all been told about "drowsy but awake" which excuse my French is BS.

I then exclusively breast fed my daughter for 14 months, purely because she didn't take the bottle, EVER. I am really proud of having done this, but this journey was certainly more testing than the first…

Both boys had a bit of a tricky time transitioning to bottles and cups, I think that’s all pretty normal!

I never expected to co-sleep but we do whatever we need to make sure mummy doesn't have a complete sleep deprivation meltdown. ..

I had always dreamed of being a Mum but unfortunately I wasn't blessed with the ability to feed my babies…

I’ve never experienced anything quite as horrible as laying in that hospital bed alone, without my baby and not knowing if she was okay…

Our little girl is a rainbow baby and I am forever grateful for that however we have run into some unexpected difficulties…

Feeding was definitely an interesting journey. In my parenting plan I was convinced I would breast feed and it would go smoothly… wow was I wrong.
