About This Video

This week’s vlog is the most real, emotional, and honestly hilarious snapshot of mum-life at 4 months postpartum. Maison had his last set of baby vaccines and I’m not even joking — he cried bloody murder and it broke my heart. I also shared what I actually do now that I’m four months into the game (Calpol, monitoring his temp, and yes… the Owlet sock comes back out when my anxiety is anxiety-ing). On top of that, he’s hit that milestone where he’s discovered his hands, he’s constantly munching them, and it’s wild how they just wake up with a new skill. The biggest thing I wanted to talk about though is breastfeeding — the reality, the guilt, and the crossroads moment when your supply dips. I went from pumping 90–120ml to barely getting 40ml and it made me feel so sad, even though I told myself during pregnancy I wouldn’t pressure myself. I tried formula (SMA first… disaster) and then Kendamil (better, but still a journey), and I shared all the rules, the trial-and-error, and the mental load that nobody really warns you about. I also did the most bittersweet reset: packing away newborn clothes (don’t say I didn’t warn you), removing the newborn inserts from his car seat/swing, and doing a Mother’s Day hand & foot casting that started chaotic but actually turned out cute. If you’re in the thick of postpartum, combo feeding, or mum guilt — you’re not alone, and I hope this makes you feel seen.
