If you’re here during a late-night scroll wondering if you’re holding your baby “right” — you probably are. Just remember: close, supported, J-shaped spine, knees up. That’s ergonomic.

Breastfeeding with an ADHD brain can feel like a lot. When your body is healing, your baby needs you, and your brain struggles to notice its own needs, feeding yourself can slip away. This is a reflection on depletion, diagnosis, and making peace with an experience that never defined me as a mother.

No one really prepares you for your baby’s first birthday.

Not for the 2am scroll through newborn photos. Not for the lump in your throat while they smash cake into the sofa. Not for the sudden realisation that you didn’t just keep a tiny human alive for a year — you grew, stretched, survived and became someone new too.

It’s pride and grief wrapped up together. Joy for who they’re becoming. A quiet ache for who they were.
