If there is one thing I cannot understand...it’s mum-shaming. Why do mums shame other mothers? Raising a child is hard enough and we are all just doing our best to get by. To me mum-shaming is the lowest form of decency. I may not agree with how some people parent, but I would certainly never tell them or make them feel worse about it. The reason I’m making this post is because I was part of a vegan parenting group on Facebook and today I witnessed some awful mum-shaming. I’d had enough so I called this person (who was a registered nurse so you think they would know better!) out on it and they kept insisting and insisting that any form of sleep-training is abuse. Making black and white statements like that is so harmful. Firstly, there is no peer-reviewed scientific evidence that it’s damaging. In fact, researchers have not been able to find any negative repercussions at all! I have to use my daughter as the perfect example. At 8 months old she was still refusing naps and not sleeping through the night despite having three full solid meals a day. She was miserable, we were miserable. She wasn’t happy or developing or growing. We spoke to the nurse and she strongly recommended sleep training. Trying to shush and rock Abi to sleep made things worse. She actually got more agitated. Finally, at our wits end, we did cry it out. She cried for 20 minutes and put herself to sleep. Since then she sleeps all night long and naps for 2 1/2 hours every day. We have such a happy healthy child now and we are all doing so well. My point is, we cannot say ‘sleep training is abusive.’ It worked for my child. It was exactly what we all needed. I ended up leaving that group for good. I’m not here for mum shaming. Not now, not ever... Please think the next time you say something to another parent about how they parent. This may be the only thing that’s working and keeping them from having depression. If you take that away from them, you may tip them over the edge. Rant over! By the way this is my vegan baby shower cake! Yum! #parenting #parenthood #motherhood #mother #baby #toddler #sleeptraining #mumshaming #vegan #veganism #plantbased #crueltyfree

I just posted a deeply personal blog about my EMDR therapy. I discuss how I found EMDR, what it is and how it worked on me. This is not for everybody but I did want to raise some awareness around it in case somebody was interested. I don’t want to sound cheesy but it completely changed my life. I learned so much about myself and was able to release so much trauma living in my body. I reprocessed memories, dreams and altered core beliefs that had been stuck in my brain like ‘I am unsafe’ and ‘I feel trapped.’ Have a read if you’re interested and if you know somebody who has undergone trauma or PTSD, maybe suggest it to them as a possible form of treatment? #emdrtherapy #emdr #trauma #therapy #ptsd #blog

Everyone’s talking about the things they want to do once they’re out of isolation and all I can think of is going on a road trip to @cafedelsolcaravan to get their smashed avo/cashew feta toast 🤤 #vegan #veganism #plantbased #crueltyfree #healthy #health #yum #veganfood #vegansofig
