Hi Mama,

Founder of mamalinc, a mama of four, NICU nurse, baby expert, lactation and sleep consultant, annnd I don’t normally look like this because motherhood is hard.
I know firsthand how overwhelming, isolating, and just downright exhausting motherhood can feel sometimes. You love your kids more than anything but at the same time, you’re craving space, connection, and tools that actually support you as a whole person, not just as a mama.
So stop struggling alone – I got you, mama!

If you’re finding it hard to answer this… you’re not alone mama 💖
Some days it’s the sleep.
Some days it’s the feeding.
Some days it’s the mental load that never switches off…
And some days… it’s all of it.
Motherhood isn’t hard because you’re doing something wrong.
It’s hard because you’re doing everything
You don’t need to explain yourself here
You don’t need to have it all figured out mama
You can just comment the heart that feels most true today 💭
And if today feels heavy, let this be your reminder:
you are seen, you are not failing, and you don’t have to carry it alone💖
Or comment if you want to put it into words
And share this with a mama who might need to feel less alone today
Right here with you. Always 💖

“Sleep when the baby sleeps…”
Trust me, we’ve all tried
Postpartum sleep isn’t about effort or discipline…
It’s driven by hormones, feeding cycles, nervous system hyper-alertness, healing and survival biology📋
If you’re exhausted but can’t switch off, that’s so normal.
You’re not failing,
Your body is doing exactly what it’s designed to do 💖
Save this. Share it.
Every mama deserves better advice

I know it feels instinctive to throw a towel or blanket over the pram to “block the sun”… but covering a pram traps heat and causes the temperature inside to rise very quickly 🥵
Our bubbas can’t regulate their body temperature like we can, so what feels like shade to us can become dangerously hot for them…
What to do instead ☀️
• Keep prams well-ventilated 🌬️
• Use built-in sun canopies designed for airflow
• Dress baby lightly 👕
• Check baby’s temperature often (back of neck or chest)
• Take breaks in cool, shaded spaces 🌿
If you’re ever unsure, remember this 👇🏽
Airflow over coverage. Always!
Save this for the warm sunny days and share it with another mama or parent 🤍👶🏼
Because so many of us were never taught this… and that’s okay 💖

What support mattered the most…
Postpartum shows you everything.
Including who truly shows up.
Not in the big gestures.
But in the quiet ones.
🍽️ The meals left at the door.
🥰The text that says “no pressure to reply.”
🫂The people who help without needing to be seen.
💫The ones who ask how you are, not just how the baby is.
This season is tender.
You’re healing, learning, and holding more than anyone realises
Support during this time isn’t a bonus… for mamas it’s foundational🤍
And it’s okay if you’re still unpacking who felt safe… and who didn’t.
🤍send this to someone who held you in postpartum (or is still holding you now)
You’re not meant to do this alone mama💖

If you’ve googled “should I sleep train my baby” at 3am, this is for you 🤍
There is no “right” answer when it comes to baby sleep!
There is only your baby, your capacity, and your season of motherhood
If feeding to sleep, contact naps, co-sleeping, or frequent wakes feel okay for you right now… that is completely valid mama 🥹
If sleep is starting to feel heavy, anxiety-provoking, or unsustainable… that matters too.
Sleep support doesn’t have to mean crying it out.
Gentle sleep coaching is about supporting your baby to develop self-soothing skills slowly and safely, without breaking attachment or ignoring cues.
I don’t recommend any sleep coaching in the newborn phase.
The fourth trimester is for closeness, regulation, and soaking up those sleepy cuddles.
But sleep does matter.
For your baby’s growth, and for your mental health as a mama.
Inside the Mamalinc app, I walk you through gentle, responsive sleep support step by step, so you’re never guessing, never googling at 2am, and never feeling like you’re doing it wrong.
You’re allowed to:
• respond to every wake
• hold your baby as much as you want
• change your mind later
• ask for support
No pressure. No judgement. Just options 🤍
Save this if sleep feels confusing.

Pain relief in labour isn’t one-size-fits-all and it was never meant to be💖
Some mamas use gas & air.
Some find relief with a TENS machine.
Some choose water.
Some choose an epidural or spinal.
Some use sterile water injections.
Some use none of the above.
All of these are evidence-based options.
All of them are valid.
And none of them define the strength or success of your birth.
Pain management in labour is about supporting your body, not proving anything.
What you need can change.
What works can change.
And you’re allowed to say yes, no, or “I need something different now.”
If you’re pregnant, this is your reminder:
🤍 You don’t have to decide everything ahead of time
🤍 You don’t have to match anyone else’s birth
🤍 You deserve informed choice and ongoing support
Mamas, share what helped you in labour below
Your experience might be exactly what another mama needs to read today💖

We all have the same 24 hours in a day…
Some of us are feeding every 2 hours
some of us are up all night with little humans
most of us are carrying the mental load for an entire household
and to top it off….
we’re doing it on broken sleep (if any), sore bodies, and overstimulated nervous systems
productivity doesn’t look the same when you’re a mama, and its not meant to!
send this to a mama who needs to know they’re doing great💖

Breastfeeding mamas deserve support, not commentary 🤍
Read that again!
Breastfeeding is emotional, physical and deeply personal.
Yet so many mamas are met with comments that, even when well-intended, can quietly chip away at confidence.
If you have ever heard one of these and felt yourself question, doubt or shrink, please hear this 🤍
You are not too sensitive.
You are not doing it wrong
And you do not owe anyone an explanation
What mamas need most is reassurance, trust and support, especially in those early weeks when everything feels tender.
✨ Save this for the days comments catch you off guard
✨ Share it to gently educate those around you
✨ And know you are doing an incredible job, mama
💖

Ever looked at your baby and think when is the last time I cleaned that dummy 😮 This is for you mama
Cleaning dummies (pacifiers) doesn’t need to be overwhelming or complicated.
The evidence-based approach is simple:
🫧 Wash first with warm water and soap
🔥 Then sterilise: boiling, electric or microwave steriliser all work
Soap and water always come first to remove milk and saliva.
Sterilising comes after!
You don’t need special solutions.
You don’t need to replace them constantly.
And you definitely don’t need to panic.
Simple, consistent care is enough.
✨ Save this for later
✨ Share with a new mama navigating the baby basics
✨ And take a breath mama, you’re doing a really good job 🤍
