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 –

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.
You’re not alone in this mama 💖
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 🤍
#dummy #steriliser #pacifier
Was it your intuition?
a missed period,
a smell that made you GAG
or a test you definitely weren’t especting to be positive??
For some mama’s its obvious,
for others it’s subtle, strange or felt deeply in their bodies before anything even shows up.
Early pregnancy can look like:
✨ exhaustion that doesn’t make sense
✨ nausea or food aversions
✨ sore boobs
✨ bloating
✨ emotions all over the place
✨ or just a quiet knowing
There’s no right way to realize your pregnant. Every story and every beginning is different
Tell us how you found out in the comments below.
We want to hear your stories!
🤍And if you’re here trying to conceive…
If you’re watching your body closely each month.
If you’re hoping, waiting, praying.
If this post brings a mix of longing and love.
You are so deeply seen here.
This space holds mamas, hopeful mamas, and those still in the waiting💖
No one warned me about THIS after birth 👀😅
After birth, every mother experiences uterine contractions as the uterus works its way back down to size😅
And those cramps? They can be INTENSE
For many mamas, afterpains are strongest in the first few days… and often feel worse with second, third (or more) babies!
If you’re breastfeeding, you may notice them even more!
Feeding releases oxytocin (the same hormone that helps with milk flow), which also tells the uterus to contract, so those cramps can peak during feeds.
It can feel sharp,
Take your breath away,
And it can make you think:
“Why did no one tell me this?”
These are called ✨afterpains✨
They’re common, normal and a sign your body is doing the hard work of healing ❤️🩹
In saying that, if the pain feels severe, worsening, or doesn’t feel right for you, ALWAYS reach out to your midwife, GP, or care provider
Save this for later, or share it with a mama who needs to read this
And if you are a soon to be mama comment “new mama” to get a free guide all about your newborn, feeding and sleep. 💖
COULD THEY BE TEETHING??? 🦷💖
Teething can come out of nowhere and suddenly sleep feels off, feeds feel harder, and your baby just needs more of you.
Babies are actually born with all their primary teeth already formed (wild, right?) !
They begin developing early in pregnancy, but most teeth don’t start to emerge until around 6 months earth-side.
Some babies cope beautifully. Others feel uncomfortable, unsettled and need extra support and that’s completely normal, mama 🤍
Common signs your baby may be teething:
• extra drooling + chewing hands or toys
• red or flushed cheeks
• tender or swollen gums
• rubbing or pulling ears
• feeding less than usual
• disrupted sleep
• more fussiness or needing extra comfort
Some of these signs can overlap with illness or developmental changes. If your baby seems very unwell, has a high fever, changes in nappies, or feels “not quite right” to you, trust that instinct and check in with your GP 💖
You’re not doing anything wrong.
You’re responding to your baby.
Has teething started for your little one yet, mama?
What was the first sign you noticed? 👇🏽
In those first weeks, our babies often feed every 1-2 hours, day and night!
That can mean 8- 12 feeds overnight, broken sleep, and feeling mentally, physically and emotionally wiped…
And here’s what matters most:
✨ This is normal
✨ Your baby isn’t doing anything wrong
✨ And neither are you
Newborns don’t yet understand day and night. That rhythm develops gradually as their nervous system matures and feeding settles, not because you “fix” anything
Some babies stretch to longer gaps early (hello unicorns 🦄), but for most newborns, frequent feeding is exactly what they’re meant to do
If you’re reading this with one eye open and a baby in your arms:
You’re not behind.
You’re not creating bad habits.
And this season will change 🤍
This is why I created my “new mama ebook” to give you some support right now for feeding and newborn sleep.
Comment “new mama” and we’ll send it straight to you!
Save this for your 2am self.
Share it with a mama who needs reassurance.
You’re doing better than you think 💖
We spend so much time preparing for labour… but almost no one prepares us for what comes after…
Mamas arrive home with their baby and think,
“Why does this feel harder than I expected?”
If you’re pregnant and wondering about:
🥛breastfeeding
🍼milk supply
💤 newborn sleep
🏡 those first few days at home
You’re not doing anything wrong. You’re just missing information no one gave you.
That’s why I created a free New Mama Guide.
It walks you through the early days gently, realistically, and without overwhelm.
The things I wish every mama knew before baby arrives.
No pressure. No judgement. Just calm, evidence-based support 💫
If you’re currently pregnant and want to feel more prepared for feeding, sleep and postpartum…
👇🏽comment “preggo” and I’ll send it to you!
You don’t have to figure this out alone.
We’ve got you
Courtney 💖
If you’re holding your baby and wondering if you’re doing something wrong by keeping them close… you’re not
Right now, your baby doesn’t need independence.
They want safety. Warmth. You.
This season can feel lonely and heavy, especially when you’re told to put them down or worry about habits. But closeness is how babies regulate, feel calm, and learn the world is safe.
You don’t have to figure this out alone.
We’ve created gentle support for mamas walking through this exact stage.
Comment “cuddle” to learn how we can support you 💖
No pressure. Just reassurance.
