Becoming Mama

Episode 10 is with @baby.skin_, who has a beautiful 13 month old daughter called Honey, has her own jewellery collection @thelastdropjewellery which are rings she’s created for mums to celebrate their breastfeeding journey and she’s also a skincare guru! We talked everything breastfeeding, from picking up a tongue tie, to weaning off nipple shields, to your your rights around feeding when you go back to work. We also talked about CMPA, baby names, how she almost had Honey on her own in the hospital toilet along with so many other things you don’t want to miss. We finished off the episode like we always do, with one piece of advice she’d give to other mums listening but we also got a beauty tip out of her.

This weeks guest is the gorgeous @_ellierosenorman_ ! Ellie runs her own fitness page and takes Instagram lives on @ellierosenormanfitness , she’s mama to a beautiful little girl called Aura and she spoke to us openly about how much her life has changed since the shock of finding out she was pregnant while being on the pill. She talked to us about her breastfeeding journey, about living 2 hours away from her partner, about how losing her mum at a young age forced her to be independent and how she believes that Aura was sent to her for a reason. We love recording all our episodes but this one felt really special. Thank you for being so open with us Ellie, you are one of the strongest, most inspiring people we've ever met.

This weeks guest is @beccamedcalf and I’m telling you now - it’s definitely one that’s going to make to make you laugh. We talked about her labour and how she threw up on her partners brand new Balenciagas, the pranks they both pull on each other, being pregnant at the same time as best friend, being a human dummy, baby led weaning and the never ending mess + so much more.

This weeks guest is the gorgeous @rachelstrutton ❤️ She has a 20 month old called Luca and a 5 month old called Bella that she gave birth to during the pandemic, she is the founder of @tinytumsrecipes which is helping wean babies all over the world and she still finds the time to post gorgeous pics on Instagram! We talked about how she’s finding life with 2 under 2, how she set up her own business which has allowed her to leave the office job she hated, cosleeping and so much more.

We say how excited we are each week but we really can’t wait for you to listen to this weeks episode with the superwoman that is @gilliantruita 😍 She had her first baby when she was 18, she’s now a mama of 4 AND she’s recently found out that she’s pregnant with her 2nd set of twins! She also has a YouTube channel where she shares lifestyle, fashion and honest motherhood content which is what we’re all about at becoming mama.

We recorded an episode last night but instead of asking my own questions I was answering the ones you all sent in about my second pregnancy. I talked about what I’m worried about with having 2 under 2, how I’m finding being pregnant while looking after a young baby (the tv has definitely been on a lot more!), throwing up at a Lana del rey concert and confetti canons in the doctors surgery. Thank you to everyone who sent a question in 🤗

Our guest this week is the gorgeous mama to 6 week old Romero @lillianna_n ! She talked about being pregnant and giving birth during a pandemic, how much hypnobirthing helped her, how Romero was one of 80,000 babies a year born in their amniotic sac and why her and her partner have chosen to keep their little boy off social media. The episode will be going up later on in the week and it’s a must listen, especially for all the pregnant mamas!

We had the best time recording ep 3 with @courtneypcarpenter. We’ve been following her since she was pregnant but it was so lovely to get to know her more. We talked everything from mum guilt, breastfeeding an almost one year old and 💩 ing yourself during labour! We loved her honesty and she had us in stitches. We could’ve talked to her all night. You won’t want to miss this one!

OUR FIRST GUEST is @elliesummermclean 😍We couldn’t wait any longer to share this with you. She’s the mummy blogger that everyone’s loving, the UK brand ambassador for @stylinkofficial and mama to the gorgeous Piper Willow. We loved having her on the podcast and getting to know her, and we know you all will too. We spoke about how her and Kieran met, her pregnancy, her (very long) labour, lockdown life with a 2 year old and how she’s grown her instagram which has allowed her to stay at home with her daughter while still making a living.
