Next week’s guest is…
Louise Boyce, aka @mamastillgotit_ . Seriously!
More info on this absolutely EPIC episode next week. Follow me here for more teasers as to who’s coming up this season.
But I still want to listen to something!
Try Charlie Barker’s episode from Season 2. Charlie is the Founder and CEO of pre- and post-natal fitness empire : Bumps and Burpees, and soon-to-be Mama of 2.
In a Nutshell, we discuss fitness, recurrent miscarriage, assisted delivery, the positive birth movement, and the constant Googlings of motherhood…

Tantrum of the week

Quote of the week
Silence is golden. Unless you have children, when silence is suspicious.
Tip of the week
Fussy baby under 1? Nothing will work? Uncontrollable tears? Desperate? Have a phone in your possession?
YOU ARE WELCOME.
Product of the week
If you’re breastfeeding and have sore nipples / cracks / an over zealous baby, screw the Lanolin and use these nipple cooling gel strips.
…If you aren’t, but know someone who’s a new breastfeeding mum, trust me they don’t need another JellyCat bunny* - get them some of these instead!
This are a German product, midwife/medically tested and are all natural (no need to rinse, keep them in your bra). Recommended by my lovely sister who’s out in Berlin, and by God do they work. Put them in the fridge - cracks healed within 24h. Yes.
*no disrespect to JellyCat bunnies, they are so cute, but I think we have 11 at last count
Instamum of the week
Hannah Howard is an NYC-based Food Writer, Published Author, Eating Disorder survivor, and all round great mama to follow. She was my first ever guest on New Leaf and is mama to Simone (and newly baby Julius). She is also dog mum to this little fur ball Ace. She is so sweet, supportive, sincere and authentic. Also, her account is complete food p*rn!! #womensupportingwomen.
Enjoying New Leaf?
I source all my guests myself through dogged / probably quite annoying persistence and spend nothing at all on marketing, PR and advertising! I rely on you guys to help me grow, keep me recording, and keep supporting new mums. Sharing helps!
See you next week!
