Our hypnobirthing baby Josh Mario Williams born on Sunday 10th June weighing 7lb 8
We can’t thank Jen @littlefeethypnobirthing enough who taught us it is possible to have a positive birthing experience... Best money we have spent on preparing for the little man’s safe happy and content arrival to becoming a family of four . #newborn #baby #hypnobirthing #littlefeethypnobirthing #lancashire #ormskirk #aughton #scarisbrick #labour #birth #unmumsymum #parenting #newmum
My website is down whilst it's having some maintenance and relocation work!
A shiny new website will pop up soon, fresh and ready as soon as the very lovely man who's sorting it for me as finished at the coal face (I know my limitations and websites are it). In the mean time if you need me, pop me a message via my Facebook page, or via email @ info@littlefeethypnobirthing.co.uk or 07379988653

I absolutely love baby feet, newborn toes most of all and I truly miss seeing tiny toes so much!
This video is amazing and when you have your baby, don't forget to do this, to experience their reflex!

The adorable primitive reflexes!!
Watch as this newborn displays a strong plantar ‘grasp-reflex!’ This is one example of the primitive reflexes that a healthy infant displays. This reflex is characterized by the flexion of the toes when the sole of the foot is stroked or pressed on gently. The grasp reflex lasts until about 5 to 6 months of age!
In pediatrics, medical students are taught to assess the Moro-reflex (the baby’s ability to abduct/extend arms when startled, & then draw together), the Rooting reflex (baby’s ability to move it’s head towards one side if cheek or mouth is stroked - nipple seeking), the Sucking reflex (sucking response when roof of mouth touched), the Plantar reflex (dorsiflexion of large toe & fanning of other toes with plantar stimulation), & the Galant reflex (stroking along one side of the spine while newborn is in ventral position - face down - this causes lateral flexion of lower body towards stimulated side) on physical exam. These ‘primitive’ reflexes are inhibited by a mature/ developing frontal lobe of the brain BUT they may re-emerge in adults following frontal-lobe lesions (due to loss of inhibition of these reflexes)! How amazing & adorable is that?!

"All by myself"
Feels a bit like the opening scenes from Bridget Jones Diary when I type that, sat here, on a Saturday night, in My PJ's... I am going to admit I have a lot of "staff meetings for one", possibly in a café, or my car during school runs.
Writing lists so I know where I'm up to, possibly sending emails whilst I remember late at night.
Little Feet Hypnobirthing is solely run by me. So if I don't reply to you straight away, I may be with another client, my children or having a staff meeting #supportsmallbusiness #localindependantbusiness #soletrader #iamenough #workingmum #littlefeethypnobirthing #birthwithoutfear #birthpreparationclasses #hypnobirthinglancashire

Boobs. I'm going to talk about Breastfeeding.
Yep, I also offer breastfeeding education and support.
I appreciate it's not for everyone and do ask before I include it, but I like to make sure you know it's available!
I can also sign post you to breastfeeding groups so you meet other Breastfeeding mama's and get additional support (and get out the house!). #boobs #breastfeeding #baby #birthpreparation #pregnant #pregnancy #antenataleducation #breastfeedingsupport #birth #littlefeethypnobirthing #aughton #ormskirk #lancashire #burscough #merseyside #southport
It is World Book Day!
And rather than bore you with the obligatory picture of my children dressed up as Newt Scamander and Mary Poppins (was all going to well til Newt lost his wand, Accio Wand failed to work and we were nearly late for school!) I'm sharing a pic of my book shelf ram packed with my books I've collated, read and learned from. Included here are books about positive birth (@milli.hill ), more about Induction of Labour, Birthing your Placenta and the 3rd stage and Vitamin K (@drsarawickham)
Caesarean Birth (@msclaregoggin and @nct ) home birth (@tellmeagoodbirthstory)
Your rights in pregnancy and birth (@rebecca.schiller)
Plus so many more I've tagged in the pic if you want to follow them! There are a few I don't have on hard copy which I got on pre-order on Kindle so I can't lend out but have read and do highly recommend you read for yourself. Quite a few here are available on Kindle and audio book! Such as Rebecca Schillers "Your No guilt Pregnancy Plan: a revolutionary guide to pregnancy, birth and the weeks that follow"
And @prof_amybrown
"The Positive Breastfeeding Book: Everything you need to feed your baby with confidence." My books are available to borrow, if you want more information and time to digest and make informed choices!
After all if you don't know what your choices are: you don't have a choice.

Those of you who have attended my course will have heard me talk about how the toilet is a really useful place to go
Not only as the actual sitting on the toilet is a brilliant place for your to relax your pelvic floor, feel supported but enable you to get comfortable like you do when you're relaxing to open and have a poo and wee so everything opens easily (no pressure underneath, your feet get a rest from standing, your pelvis relaxes) and you assume a better position during your surges, BUT ALSO.... In a bathroom you are granted privacy that sometimes you just aren't allowed in a birth room (oh the irony!), It's often the smallest room in the house/birthing unit (midwifery led or Obstetric Led) and only those who you invite in will squeeze in so you are very much unobserved... Your Oxytocin, the big Love hormone which works best with as few a people watching, when you feel safe and relaxed in a dark space will be released.
So: Don't forget to go to the loo in labour (plus you'll have a wee - and an empty bladder in labour is your friend ) #Repost @2lifedoula (@get_repost)

Sometimes in the midst of labour all you need is a quiet unobserved spot to just be
