Has anyone else seen the news about @klm saying breastfeeding Mother’s may be asked to cover up to avoid other passengers feeling uncomfortable? Most mums never choose to sit there with their boob out however, as you’ll see form this pic where I’m ‘covering up’ purely to post on insta, my child is pulling at the cover! This also happens when you’re covering them to discreetly feed, or when you have a @thebshirt which is super discreet! Cos here’s the thing, you cover them up and they get too hot and pull it off = unfortunate flash of the nip to anyone gakwing at you! Wear a discreet top, baby paws at your top and lifts it up = unfortunate flash of the nip. You see, its tricky cos no matter how discreet you may choose to be, baby will always have other ideas! The other factor is it’s bloody hard work trying to cover, latch, feed, relatch, don’t flash, grab cover, recover, relatch, feed etc! Parents feeding their child is hard enough as it is, whether bottle, breast, food or anything else! Coupled with the drama of trying to settle them during a journey! So disappointing that this is the message being put out. We should be making women feel comfortable to feed their child wherever/however they need to, not shaming them. Shame on you @klm Let’s see if we can get #permittedbreastfeeding trending. Share your ‘coverup’ pics!

This is me, in all my bumpy and lumpy glory, 7 months postpartum doing a squat with my little man!! Even though I’m still a good 2.5 stone heavier than pre-pregnancy, I’m actually really happy with this picture! I was having fun, I’m in super comfy workout gear thanks to the amazing Natalie at @latcheduk and I’m working my butt off literally (ok not literally, squats can’t work magic!) Most importantly though, with my still slightly dodgy pelvic floor and my strained lower back from lifting little man I have to remember that it’s not that long ago that he was born and it does take time! My body did an incredible thing growing a tiny human and I am so grateful every day that this little boy came into our lives! I still gave it my all at the class and I’m working gradually to get my baby weight off and to keep my body healthy and strong! The @busylizzy_elmbridge classes have been amazing at helping this (as well as the added bonus of having a husband who used to be a physio!!). My big problem though is not that I hate exercise....it’s that I love cake!! So for me, it’s cutting out all the rubbish that I eat that’ll be my biggest challenge! Now we’re starting little man on proper food, I’m hoping it’ll help us eat more healthily as a family too!!Just need to stick to my aim of being more #plasticfree as all the biscuits, cakes and chocolate are in some sort of a plastic wrapper. That’s got to be another good incentive right??
