Today was a bring your baby to work sort of day!

There was no shortage of cuddle volunteers among @TheBrainCharity’s staff 👶

@sirin_kale @guardiang2 We are so lucky to have @BambisLiverpool in Liverpool - a council-funded public health initiative that really should be available to all women. 💖

[Tui Benjamin Thorp (she/her) @tui_benjamin]

@sirin_kale @guardiang2 Thank you for sharing - it really resonated. Breastfeeding has simultaneously been the hardest and best thing I’ve ever done. I can finally say the last month it’s become easy & enjoyable after our baby losing weight, tongue tie, pumping every 2 hours & so much conflicting advice

@LiamThorpECHO Available online from @DropDabba if anyone is interested 🤤

[Tui Benjamin Thorp (she/her) @tui_benjamin]

Breastfeeding has been both the best and hardest thing I’ve ever done.

Happy two months to our boy ♥️

@cath_mcclenn @LiamThorpECHO @LiverpoolWomens @Improvingme1 @Liverpoollib Thank you! Will do

[Tui Benjamin Thorp (she/her) @tui_benjamin]

Forever grateful to the absolutely incredible people at @LiverpoolWomens - and thankful to have @LiamThorpECHO 🫶

Six weeks later and our boy is absolutely thriving, smiling & just picked up his first @Liverpoollib card - a lifetime of bookwormery awaits 📚

[Liam Thorp @LiamThorpECHO]

We are blessed to have an amazing, healthy, baby, but his entrance into the world was a traumatic one - something we are still processing

I wanted to write about it here and to place on record my eternal thanks to @LiverpoolWomens hospital
