nobody tells you that it cracks you wide open.
that the love arrives like a wave you didn’t see coming. that you can be exhausted and obsessed at the same time. heartbroken and the happiest you have ever been.
i’ve done this three times. i still don’t have it figured out. but here are the notes i wish someone had left for me.
from a mum who’s been through it, to the one about to live it. with all my love.

To our incredible paramedics, thank you 🫶
Thank you for being the calm in our chaos, the steady hands when ours are shaking, the voice that tells us it’s going to be okay.
Thank you for the shifts that never seem to end, the meals you don’t get to eat, the calls that follow you home long after you finish.
Thank you for leaving your homes and kissing your own kids goodnight, and walking out the door to help ours.
I know what it takes to wear that uniform. I know the weight of it, the toll of it, the risk you carry every time you walk out the door. Thank you.
We stand with you ✊
The end of an era at Tiny Hearts 💔
I packed the last of our Birth Recovery Kits this week. These kits got me through my own postpartum and they've been in thousands of your homes since. Walking alongside you through that raw, beautiful chapter has been a genuine privilege 🤍
But what you need from us has changed.
The message I hear most isn't "I need a better birth kit." It's "I'm up at 2am with a sick baby and I don't know if this is something or nothing." That feeling of being unsure in the moment while the rest of the world is asleep.
So we're building the solution.
The Tiny Hearts App is in development right now. Expert-backed, clinical support in your pocket, paired with the education we've been teaching for years.
It’s there to support you in the moments you’ve been previously navigating alone.
This is us showing up differently, in the place you actually need us.
If you want to be first to know when we're ready, the waitlist is open.

We spend so much time raising our little ones to be kind and helpful. This is a beautiful trait but it means we also need to give them clear rules to keep them safe.
Teaching your kids that safe grown ups don’t ask children for help is a simple way to ensure they aren’t mislead. If an adult genuinely needs a hand they will always ask another adult.
Practicing these scenarios at home takes the fear out of the conversation and builds their confidence so they know exactly how to respond.
Just like teaching your child these safety rules, we want to help you prepare for any emergencies so you never have to guess what to do next ✨

Whole nuts are are the size of a child’s airway and the perfect shape to block it completely.
No air in, no air out. A complete obstruction.
This is why I always say hold off on whole nuts until your little one is over 5 years old.
Before then, you can still serve nuts by:
👉 Spreading nut butter on toast or crackers
👉 Sprinkling finely ground nuts over yoghurt or porridge
👉 Blending them through smoothies or sauces
Prevention is important but choking emergencies can still happen and knowing what to do in those first seconds is everything.

In my time as a paramedic, I’ve been on the other side of a lost child job. And as a mum of 3, I’ve felt that 10 second stomach-drop in a shopping centre.
Both taught me the same thing: the instructions most of us grew up with don’t actually work when seconds matter.
So here are 5 skills I’ve drilled into my own three and why “yell Mum” is not on the list.
You never realise how dangerous the world is until you’re responsible for protecting someone in it 🤍
Whole peas are a choking hazard ⚠️
I know, it feels like such a harmless little foo but their shape is exactly the problem.
Small, round and firm means they can sit perfectly in a little one’s airway and block it completely.
How to safely serve:
👉 6 months: puree and mix into food
👉 As their pincer grasp develops: squish each pea flat before serving
It only takes a moment and dramatically reduces the risk of choking.
Choking can happen in a split second, even when you’ve done everything right. Knowing what to do in those moments is everything, let us teach you 🤍
A fall from double their height = get an urgent medical assessment 🚨
The fall might not look like much to you but if it’s double the height of your little one, it’s considered an emergency.
It’s the first thing a paramedic will ask you after a fall: “from what height?” Because the higher the fall, the higher the risk of fractures to the skull and injury to the brain. Serious injuries from falls are rare, but it’s so important to rule out anything serious by getting them checked.

Every parent in Australia deserves a clear way to escalate care when something doesn’t feel right. But right now, your postcode determines whether you have access to that.
NSW just launched the Raise It Hotline, 1800 777 333. One number you can call in any public hospital in NSW when you feel your concerns aren’t being heard.
But the fix only covers one state. Millions of Australian families still don’t have access to a clear, simple, statewide escalation line. This should be a national standard.
Share this with every parent you know. The more Australians who know this gap exists, the harder it becomes to ignore.
While we wait for the system to catch up we’re building something to support you in the meantime. A tool that helps you recognise when something is wrong, provide immediate support in the moment, ask the right questions and advocate for your little one with confidence.

“I don’t buy button batteries” is one of the most common things we hear.
Unfortunately, they’re often already in your home, hiding in everyday items and it’s important you know where they are.
Button batteries are one of the most serious ingestion risks for little ones. When swallowed, they can cause severe internal damage within two hours.
In Australia, 20 little ones per week present to ED suspected of swallowing one. Knowing where they are in your home is the first step to keeping your little one safe.
Light-up shoes, garage remotes, greeting cards, bathroom scales, children’’s books. If it’s smaller than your hand, feels compact, makes a sound, lights up, or moves, there’s a good chance it runs on one.
If you ever suspect your little one has swallowed a button battery, give them honey straight away and head to your nearest ED. If they are under 12 months, offer jam instead.
