Big Steps Little Feet Description
Welcome to Big Steps Little Feet. Congratulations on taking an exciting step into parenthood. It is exactly that . . . . taking BIG steps and often it feels like we as parents have feet that are too little to take such strides.
The book shelves are groaning with advice on ‘how to’, ‘what not to do’, psychology and analysis of parenting practices. It can feel like we are bombarded with theories and advice to promote good health and well being in our off spring from the moment of conception. All the advice is founded in noble intention and with good will. It is with good will and ‘experience’ that even complete strangers will advise on what ‘you should do with that . . . . ! ’
Clinics and health professionals can sometimes give conflicting advice. You may see a different health professional each time and hurriedly at that. These have been some of my experiences as a mother and a Health professional in the NHS for over 20 years. For this reason I am proud to provide a bespoke service to you and your family, based on your values and what is important to you. I have studied for many years and all my practice in Big Steps Little Feet is grounded in an evidence base and applied to your individual family requirements to feel confident and enjoy the experiences in the journey of parenting.
I offer support and advice on all aspects of Family Health from Pregnancy, sleep issues to feeding and child development concerns.
Here are some of the services offered by Big Steps Little Feet :
* Private Complete Birth Preparation Workshops in the privacy of your own home.
* Group Complete Birth Preparation Workshops.
* 1;1 Newborn Baby Preparation Workshop.
* Home Consultations - guidance and advice on all issues related to child development from infancy to toddlerhood including feeding, sleep and behaviour.
Complete Birth Preparation Workshops are nurturing fun and interactive. The following topics are covered:
* What birth looks and feels like - the different phases of labour.
* The anatomy and physiology of birth in relation to your body /hormones, the pelvis and of course the baby.
* What Active Birth means.
*Positions, breathing, coping with sensations of labour positively and powerfully.
* The very important role of the birth partner.
* The magical hours following birth.
* Considerations for a birthing plan.
* What happens when mother nature needs support - interventions offered.

Friday cuteness overload! Seriously good demonstration of how to support your toddler in developing language and conversation... nothing to do with learning words!
Beautiful description of what a doula does. Did you have a doula? Would you add any other words?
It’s half term week for those of you with preschoolers. A conversation I have regularly at my child health clinic at Busy Bees nursery encapsulated in this meme.
How we react to our toddlers strong emotions and strong will in the process of demonstrating living life on life’s terms is key to supporting their self awareness and self esteem. Theres a bigger picture- the adult your child will become. Hold that picture in your mind... you want a follower, a person who can’t say... No? There’s no space for shame and blame. Lots of opportunities for labelling feelings, supporting them in learning how to manage the feelings of anger, frustration, excitement etc.
It starts with us as parents - the word discipline comes from disciple- it’s not what we say it’s what we do! Caveat! You don’t have to do this on your own. Ask for help and support.... Remember it takes a village to raise a child 😅..,

Oh my god- I love this so much. Captures it exactly! ❤️ With great respect and love to all fellow mothers and mothers to be 🙏🏻
😂😂 it’s amazing what can happen in a few minutes behind a turned back! I’ve had a few instances over the years that included sudocreme , make up and marker pens! Welcome to post your own pics 😝
Motherhood in a nutshell! - days where we don’t feel like we’re doing so good and look at other and think they’re doing great. The reality is we take turns...let’s support each other by speaking the truth and building each other up.
Some giggles to start your weekend early. 🤣
A great place to give your baby / toddler ‘stuff ‘ that’s no longer needed.
Anyone?
Calling all mummies and daddies- weaning hack! How cool is this? Wish I’d known this all those years ago 😂
Any size 4 nappies hanging around your home that are no longer needed? Full support to Baby Bank.
Not everyone agrees with this statement. This research supports my experience professionally and personally.... and the impact of irregular bedtimes is not limited to 3-7 year olds! What are your thoughts /experiences?
Congratulations Meghan and Harry ❤️ 👶
Absolutely love this. The strength, courage and spirituality of birthing in words and pictures. ❤️
Says it all ❤️
How do these portion sizes compare with how much you’re giving your toddler?
Baby equipment no longer needed? Packs of nappies unused? Please donate to this wonderful cause #babybankwindsor
I get asked this question A LOT! What’s the best age difference/ gap between siblings?
Focusing only on the mother...
As a mother I have experience of a gap of 2 years 10 months between my first and second, 15 months between 2nd and 3rd and 6 years between my 3rd and 4th child.
... Motherhood is taxing emotionally and physically. I think it’s very personal, it’s complicated and there are so many individual factors involved which impact the mother, at different ages, stages, workload, temperament , birth experience, relationship etc
So, any thoughts on age gaps/ spacing babies? What did you do? What are you planning? 👶
