My top 5 oils for new moms: Oshawa GTA Motherhood Photography Studio

Congratulations mom you did it! Baby is finally here and whatever your journey looked like to get here I KNOW that you are excited, TIRED and so in love.

With your new responsibility brings a whole pandora’s box of different things that you will go through as a parent. Both for YOU and baby. I can remember getting home from the hospital and thinking…now what lol. It was so overwhelming.

I wish that years ago someone would have suggested or handed me things I needed to help make motherhood easier. So…I’m doing just that for you.. Bite sized pieces that are easy to digest. Any help or advice on what works while you are in the thick of things is what most moms crave, right? Here are my top 5 oils for new moms that I know you will love and appreciate as well.

My top 5 Oils for New Mom’s

Lavender

This is not your Grandmother’s lavender bathroom spray lol. This is the Swiss Army of oils. It also smells way different. In the best way too, because what we are used to is synthetic or a fragrance. YL Lavender is pure. Uplifts moods, amazing to unwind and my go to for sleep, skin (anti-fungal/inflammatory properties) Scrapes,bites and a great antihistamine.

Copiaba

Once teething hits…this is a lifesaver :) It’s powerful anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antiseptic properties help to ease the pain on tender gums in minutes. It is also great for the nervous system, healing the skin and for colds/respiratory system.

Thieves

One oil I cannot live without! Every home needs Thieves and those who use it will totally speak volumes about it too. Thieves kills 99.98% of germs. Amazing for your immune support, keeping you healthy and warding off sickness. It dates back to the 15th Century when grave robbers stole from the sick/dying during the plague. It is YL’s #1 seller. They have a whole home cleaning line using Thieves oil.

Peace and Calming

This beautiful blend is perfect for calming and soothing anxiety, stress, hyperactiveness and can help with insomnia. Great support for your emotional and nervous system too!

Progessence Photo Plus (PPP)

Let’s talk about homones shall we? They aren’t fun and one minute you are hot the next freezing and in tears. I get it…been there lol. Progessence supports healthy hormone balance in women. It contains natural hormone extract (use progesterone) from wild yams. Provides relief during PMS and menopause, endometriosis, PCOS, PPD, hot flashes, insomnia, hair loss, weight gain and so much more. I love it. I use it twice a day (am and night) 1-2 drops as part of my daily routine.

Our community of motherhood is here for you. Myself included! I’ve been there, I am STILL going through it despite the difference in my children’s ages and stages. One thing that connects us all is our love we have for our families and the importance of health and wellness.

Petra

A Breastfeeding Journey

When Camara asked if I would document a little of her journey as a new mom and what breastfeeding is for her I jumped at the opportunity. You may remember her from her Maternity Session here. For many new moms (myself included) it didn’t come easy or natural. It was anything but. Which is crazy, one of the most basic functions as a new mom can be so stressful and depressing.

WhitbyBreastfeedingSession

Over the years I learned to heal. To be proud of myself that I tried and although it wasn’t what I thought it was going to be like, that my children were healthy and happy. It was ME that I had to work on.

That said, it is such a beautiful and momentous time for a mother. The bonding, connection, love, time spent in the fleeting moments of an infants life is one that is hard (at times) to put into words.

OshawaMotherhoodBreastfeedingSession

Our session was a collection of all things motherhood. I adore these images and memories we made together. They speak to my mama heart and fill my cup. I hope they do for you too!
