![FIRST BABY // Maya took to her big sister role the day Penelope and I came home from hospital. They really are so much more than just ‘pets’... Mays has been my little companion for 9 strong years - the one that’s always been there through my heartbreak, tears & struggles; shared my successes with boundless energy & cuddles; the best supervisor at meal times & now when feeding Penelope; and the inspiration behind my PETA certified #crueltyfreebeauty lip gloss range - how could my beauty routing hurt Maya!? THAT FACE 😭🐶

![BREAST REFUSAL // I didn't even know there was such a thing before my baby came along!! Penelope was exclusively breastfed from birth; I thought she was feeding & sleeping like a dream baby (on a 4 hour cycle from delivery) & I'd hit the jackpot with the perfect baby... It came as a HUGE surprise when, at 4 weeks, the midwives told me she wasn't gaining the desired weight they wanted to see for her milestones [insert many tears of thinking I was a terrible mother]. During the same visit I was told Penelope had a 'tongue tie' and it was corrected immediately by a specialist here in Sydney. What I didn't expect was to then have a baby completely reject my breast afterwards.
.
At every feed (8 feeds a day x 40min of screaming like I was trying to murder her) I listened to her in utter distress about a process (breastfeeding) that I originally thought of as being completely 'natural.' From 5 to 10 weeks I expressed every day for 8 hours to then feed Penelope via a bottle whilst spending ENDLESS hours in the company of lactation specialists and on speed dial with the Australian Breastfeeding Association - all in an attempt to get her back on my breast. No amount of trying all their 20 years+ of experience/techniques, skin on skin, listening to women tell me I should eat this, take this supplement... etc has made her go back on. .
This has been my view for 16 weeks... The hardest thing for me as a mother so far has been accepting breastfeeding hasn't worked for us. Penelope's "breast refusal" has made me all the more wiser to the concept of #FedIsBest. I'm 100% for breastfeeding, though not to the extent of starving my baby. A message to all the mothers out there - YOU ARE DOING A GOOD JOB. Keep going xx
