As women age, their breasts undergo changes that can lead to sagging, which can be a source of insecurity and low self-esteem. Sagging breasts can be caused by various factors, including pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, and the natural aging process. Fortunately, there are ways to address sagging breasts and regain your confidence. In this article, we’ll explore what you need to know about sagging breasts and how to address them.

Understanding Sagging Breasts

Breasts are made up of fatty tissue, glandular tissue, and connective tissue, which give them their shape and support. Over time, the connective tissue in the breasts can weaken, causing them to sag. This process is natural and affects most women at some point in their lives. However, certain factors can accelerate the process of breast sagging.

One of the most common causes of breast sagging is pregnancy and breastfeeding. After breastfeeding, the breasts may not return to their pre-pregnancy size, and the skin may lose elasticity, leading to sagging. Weight fluctuations, aging, and gravity can also contribute to sagging breasts.

How to Address Sagging Breasts

If you’re unhappy with the appearance of your sagging breasts, there are several things you can do to address the issue. Here are some options to consider:

Exercise: Certain exercises can help strengthen the muscles around your breasts, which can provide some lift and support. Some examples include chest presses, push-ups, and dumbbell flyes.

Wear a supportive bra: A well-fitting bra can help lift and support your breasts, making them appear more youthful. Look for bras with underwire, wide straps, and full cups. In particular, if you regularly apply weight loss measures, you will see a decrease in your breasts due to the process of burning excess fat. Choose the best bra after weight loss that can help support and shape your breasts, making them look firmer and younger. (more…)

It is important for pregnant women to include the right food components in their diets in order to ensure that their unborn children receive the proper nutrients. Some of the most important food components that pregnant women should eat are calcium, iron, and folic acid. In addition, it is also important for pregnant women to consume plenty of water and stay hydrated.

The Importance of Calcium During Pregnancy

Calcium is important for pregnant women because it helps to build strong bones and teeth in their unborn children. In addition, calcium also helps to regulate blood pressure and contractions during labor. Pregnant women should aim to consume at least 1,000 mg of calcium per day. Some good sources of calcium include dairy products, leafy green vegetables, and canned salmon with bones.

The Importance of Iron During Pregnancy

Iron is also important for pregnant women because it helps to form red blood cells in their unborn children. Iron also helps to prevent anemia, which can cause fatigue and other health problems. Pregnant women should aim to consume at least 27 mg of iron per day. Some good sources of iron include red meat, poultry, fish, legumes, and fortified breakfast cereals.

The Importance of Folic Acid During Pregnancy

Folic acid is essential for pregnant women because it helps to prevent birth defects of the brain and spine. Pregnant women should aim to consume at least 400 mcg of folate (a form of folic acid) per day. Some good sources of folate include leafy green vegetables, legumes, nuts, and fortified breakfast cereals. Consumption of the best cereal for pregnancy will actually give you a boost of folic acid and energy. (more…)

Dry skin is a common problem, especially in the winter months when the air is dry and cold. But even if you live in a humid climate, you may find that your skin feels dry at times. There are many makeup tricks that you can use to help keep dry skin looking and feeling its best. Some of them are outlined here.

Use a primer

A good makeup primer can be one of the best tools in your arsenal against dry skin. Primer helps to fill in crevices, making your skin look more smooth and even. It also helps makeup go on better so that you don’t need as much, preventing clogging up of your pores and exacerbating the problem further.

Use a Hydrating Foundation or Tinted Moisturizer

If you find that liquid foundation does not work well for you because it makes your skin look flaky, try switching to a light-coverage tinted moisturizer instead. You will get some coverage out of it, but it won’t make the situation worse as heavy foundation can sometimes do with excessive drying effects.

Don’t Forget to Set Your Foundation

When you have dry skin, remember to set your foundation with the best setting powders for dry skin. This will help to keep your makeup in place and prevent it from settling into any dry patches. (more…)

It’s no fun for you or your little one when they are itchy and miserable.

Unfortunately, kids are rash magnets.

And eczema is more common now than when we were children (1).

But your child isn’t doomed. There are simple ways to avoid eczema and rashes.

Let’s look at five things you can do to keep your kids safe.

Step one: check the label for irritants

Before you apply anything to your child’s skin, check the label.

Do you see ingredients like “parfum” or “fragrance?”

Scented products are often the culprit.

Artificial fragrances are one of the most common skin irritants.

This applies to detergent and softener for washing clothing, too.

Avoid the problem by using fragrance-free products. Don’t even settle for “unscented.”

Buy body wash for kids that doesn’t have perfumes. You don’t need this ingredient to get them clean.

Step two: apply moisturizer

Hydrated skin is resistant to irritation.

While I was pregnant Carl and I had great plans for my maternity leave. He’s self-employed so has almost complete freedom when it comes to taking holidays so we were going to make the most of my new found freedom and take impromptu trips away, should it take our fancy. Well I can report that eight months in, all we’ve managed was a pre-arranged trip to Norfolk with my family.

So when an invite to the Baby & Toddler Show landed in my inbox, I thought I’d throw caution to the wind and include an overnight stay. The northern show just happens to be in Manchester, which holds a special place in our hearts as it’s where we spent our first non-wedding-night night as a married couple before jetting off on our honeymoon – sorry if I made your brain hurt with that mouthful – so I’m very excited to return to our second favourite city as a family.

The show runs 7-9th October and has a pretty impressive line up of brands, including Bugaboo, Cybex, Joolz, Mamas & Papas, Silver Cross & Maxi Cosi to name but a few – we’re in the market for a new car seat so the timing is perfect.  There are expert speakers, products to test, a midwife drop in and, if that hasn’t sold it to you – a goody bag for all new mums and mums-to-be.

If you’d like to win tickets to the show, I have two to giveaway, valid for any date you chose. All you need to do is hit the Rafflecopter link below, and leave a comment telling me what your all time favourite baby / toddler products is!

As you’ll know if you read my last post,  this week we celebrated our little Hen’s first birthday, and I couldn’t resist a glass of prosecco to celebrate that Carl and I had successfully parented for a whole year. And I figured that this time last year, a prosecco might have taken the edge off a very long labour. So I owed it to my birthing self of a year prior to toast not only Henry’s birthday, but my birth-ed day. Justification right there, should ever I need it.

Anyway, I thought I’d share a few of the things I’ve learnt after 365 days of playing the mum game:

1. Age old advice, but EVERYTHING IS A PHASE. I know it doesn’t help when you’ve not hoovered for a month and the blinds are sporting an inch thick layer of dust (who am I kidding, I’ve never cleaned blinds in my life) because your child has lost the ability to nap, but it’s true. Unfortunately good phases are still also phases. Four month sleep trickster, I’m looking at you.
2. Do what works at the time, regardless of what anyone else says.  We’re currently co-sleeping (following Lullaby Trust guidelines). I’m aware that at some point it will become an issue, but at the moment we’re all getting more sleep, which means we’re all happier. You may be told you’re ‘making a rod for your own back’, but motherhood is blooming hard work and sometimes I need that rod to lean on.Trust your instincts, have confidence in your decision and move on.
3. A new dawn is a new day. Yesterday might have been a washout. You’ve been sicked on, snotted on, pooed on and achieved nothing more than wiping off said excrement with a baby wipe, but tomorrow could be incredible. (Parenting) Life is a Rollercoaster -ahh wise words Ronan.
4. Cutting little nails, cleaning first teeth and navigating a busy supermarket with a baby who’s on the wrong side of peckish all make you feel like you could play The Cube and win. Take your victories, however small.
5. Hormones have ALOT to answer for.  Y’all know the ones I’m talking about. The ones that make you wail to your husband that you miss him WHILE HE’S SITTING RIGHT NEXT TO YOU.
6. Words spoken in the depths of sleep deprivation should be taken with a pinch of salt. Daddy: she doesn’t really think life is easier when you’re at work. Mummy: he doesn’t really wish he’d stayed at work. Hopefully not anyway.
7. Accept that you will never wee alone, enjoy a hot beverage, sleep more than four to six consecutive hours, use an escalator, or any of these things my lovely friend Becky has listed in this hilarious post anytime in the near future. Then, if you do ever manage any you’ll have a whole new appreciation for them. Using an escalator is like Disney Land to me now….
8. Despite any challenges our offspring might throw our way, the joy they bring you is immeasurable and there is no problem in the world feels like it can’t be appeased by seeing your baby smile.

So I’m sure I’ve missed a few parenting words of wisdom, as a year does not an expert make. Do you have any to share?
