Diary of a first time mum part 3
Since becoming a mother I can honestly say I have become a better friend as well, don’t get me wrong I will think about calling you regularly but never actually get around to picking up the phone, I most likely won’t be able to come to your dinner party because my hands are full and I’m in bed by 8pm and I can almost guarantee that I will completely forget your birthday!
But to my dear pregnant friend, I won’t suggest you try ginger to ease your morning sickness and I promise to never comment on how big or how small you are. I will bring you food and make you rest.
At your baby shower I will leave the blankets, soft toys and newborn outfits in the store and come armed with nipple cream, a white noise machine and chocolate! Because now I understand what you need.
When your little bundle arrives, I won’t bring you flowers because I know you have enough things to keep alive right now, instead I will bring you good wholesome (and freezable) food, I will do your dishes and fold your washing and remind you that although its tough you are doing an amazing job.
I will send messages to check in and let you rant as much as you need about your baby, your hubby or your mother in law and I will look at 4 million photos of your little bundle because there really is no cuter baby in the world and because it really does take a village.

"We have been working with Kellie over the past week to try and improve the sleep habits of our 18 month old girl and what a huge difference it has made! I was up some nights for 3-5 hours with her and now it's just a quick bottle and straight back to sleep. Kellie is very knowledgeable & helpful, provides great advice and we have learnt so much. We couldn't recommend her highly enough. " ~ Louise
"Our 4 month old was taking a long time to settle, with a nearly two year old, it was becoming hard to take the time to settle the baby and taking over my life!
With help from Kellie, we have got the baby to self settle and lose the dummy. No more long time it's too settle, just put straight into cot and he puts himself to sleep. Also some help with my toddler sleep. It only took a day for the advise to start working. Such a good investment!" ~ Leah
