Garment and textile workers around the world earn poverty wages which are insufficient to meet their basic needs.

Without a living wage, workers may be forced to:
⏱work excessive overtime or multiple jobs
📚take their children out of school and into work
🍲cut back on food, healthcare and housing
💰take on unmanageable debts

We've waited for voluntary measures from brands to make a difference for too long. It's time now to stand up together for : goodclothesfairpay.eu

As any parent of a new baby knows, sleep can be elusive and the abundance of advice about it can be overwhelming. Sleep specialist Dr Bronwyn Sweeney shares some insight.

I think this applies to all of us, adults & kids alike! ⁠

What do you think?⁠

Always enjoy the playful work of Christian Robinson , who wrote these words in one of his captions: "All I know is creativity heals, curiosity leads to understanding, and comfort is something we could all use more of these days." ⁠

Do you ever stop consider how odd it is that so many advise that you don’t cuddle your baby too much? Picking up and hugging a baby is the most natural thing in the world, whether it’s your own baby or somebody else’s. We have this instinctive drive to want to squidge and protect them. When they cry, it sets off innate drives that have protected our species since the dawn of time. Avoiding picking a baby up ‘too much’ (whatever that means), literally goes against every ounce of evolutionary driven behaviour and biology in our bodies.

What has the world come to when so many believe hugging too much is ‘spoiling’? What a broken and harsh world we live in where people believe that hugs should be rationed. Imagine the impact restriction of loving touch in infancy (and beyond) has had? We need to break this cycle of touch starvation, not perpetuate it.

So, hold your baby while they cry, hold them when they’re happy. Hold them while they sleep, hold them when they wake. Hold them while you rest, hold them when you’re busy and think you have ‘more important things to do’. Never, ever be afraid to hold them ‘too much’; it just isn’t possible, neither is it a ‘bad habit’, or ‘ a sleep prop’. By holding your baby, as much as you and they want, you are taking one small step towards changing the world for the better - and what an important job that is! 💕

For all the single mamas out there ❤️

"This is not what you had planned. This is not what you’d envisioned. There are no visits from friends, no loving doula bringing you soup, no “mommy and me” yoga classes, no coffee dates, no stroller walks through the park. There is empty space where you had planned comfort and company. There are long days with no one but your little one to talk to and this big transition to navigate all alone.
I know it’s lonely, mama. I know the walls of your house feel tight and the days feel so long, and you crave a warm hand on your knee and the soft embrace of a friend. You wish for someone by your side to marvel at this beautiful baby of yours and to wrap an arm around you when the feelings get too big and scary.
We were never meant to do this alone. Motherhood has never been a solitary sport. And yet here we are, in this odd chapter of isolation and distance, with no choice but to do it by ourselves.
But mama, know this- We are alone. Together. You are surrounded all the other mothers who are navigating this tender time in isolation. You are held by all of us who have walked the path before you and who know how much you must be hurting. You are wrapped in the warm embrace of mama earth, as she too settles into this time of slowness and healing.
This too shall pass. And when it does, hugs and coffee dates and visits from friends will taste so much sweeter. Soft kisses on your cheek and arms around your waist and gentle laughter in your ear will be the joyful medicine after this trying time.
Until then, hunker down mama. Find the coziest, warmest spot on your couch, sink into the pile of unfolded laundry, and sleep the Spring away, with that sweet babe warm on your chest."

When a mum says she’s exhausted, that she misses her old life, that she needs a shoulder to cry on or that she doesn’t know how she is ever going to get through this...she is not asking you for sleep training advice, a pair of earplugs or a shortcut.
She’s asking you for support - to make her a cup of tea, to care for her baby while she takes a shower, to make her bed and fold her clothes.
She’s asking you for unconditional love - to see her at her lowest and love her through it all.
She’s asking for you to see her - to acknowledge the sacrifices she’s making, to bear witness to the life-changing transformation she’s experiencing and give her reassurance that it will all be ok.
She’s asking you to see her baby as she does - not as a problem to fix or a scapegoat to blame but as a brand new, immature soul trying their best in a world that is completely foreign to them...other than mum, mum was home on the inside and she still is on the outside.
She’s asking you to accept her choices - whether they mirror yours or not. Approach her choices with curiosity and an open mind.
She’s asking you to meet her where she is - to sit with her in the dark, to be willing to walk through discomfort with her rather than searching for a quick fix.
Because she isn’t scared of her baby’s wakefulness.
She isn’t scared of 3 am.
She isn’t scared of rocking or nursing or holding her baby to sleep.
What she’s scared of is feeling alone, judged and unloved. She’s scared of feeling devalued, weird and misunderstood.
What she fears is being asked to justify her choices or feeling pressured to bury her maternal intuition and leave her baby to cry to sleep.
And you have the power to change all of those things - by showing up with compassion, humility and a willingness to accept the way things are rather than trying to bend reality.
Evolve alongside her and become part of her story. Remember, we can't mute the hard, without losing the good. So, be her safety net, become her greatest cheerleader and let her have her messy middle because that’s where transformation and growth truly unfold. 💕
