Have you ever used Pampers? It was the first nappy that was put on our son, but it wasn’t till a few hours of new mother haze that I even asked. I was told by lots of mum friends that when they used Pampers their children ended up having a rash – I was already…

MY story
When I started #theunlikelymummy it wasn’t for popularity or to see how many ‘likes’ I could get. It was to help another person, another mum and to also get help myself, a little bit like self therapy. I know my situation, thoughts and feelings aren’t unique, but they are to me.

Mum Guilt – is it a real thing?
“Mum Guilt is the feeling of guilt, doubt, anxiousness or uncertainty experienced by mothers when they worry they’re failing or falling short of expectations in some way.” Why do we as mothers feel the need to place judgment on each other?

Dear Husband,
I have written a letter to the Mumma’s but I failed to think about you – my husband, the father to my baby. Do I start off by with a cliche by thanking you for your help, support, being my rock and loving our family or do I start off by saying I love you?…
