Top 20 Things Nobody Tells you About Having a Baby

By

The Well Clinic

-

July 3, 2023

It may be unchartered territory, but you’ll make your way through! Here are the 20 things nobody tells you about having a baby!

1. Welcome to sleepless nights. You will never truly drift to sleep for long, perhaps for the next 5-6 years depending on your baby’s sleep routine.

2. Find your mama tribe to help you through the ups and downs of motherhood, as it does take a village to raise a mother (not only a child)

3. All first milestones for your baby will melt your heart. First step, first smile, first food. Make sure you capture it in a baby book.

4. The unconditional love you have for your baby is an indescribable feeling.

5. You’ll develop a can-do attitude.

6. Tears. Lots of them. Happy tears, sad tears, confused tears, tired tears, satisfied tears, blessed tears.

7. Teething is hard for you as much as for your baby.

8. Baby visits to the clinic for vaccines are just horrible.

9. It’s a new role for you as much as it is for your child – you will juggle lots of things, sometimes in one hand.

10. You will experience FOMO (fear of missing out) and sometimes all you want to do is be next to your baby, even if they are sleeping. Just watching them sleep, will put you in a happy place.

11. Motherhood is hard, and there are days when you will feel exhausted and want to collapse. That’s why you need to find your support system or your mama tribe, see point 2.

12. You may experience mum guilt at some point and that’s completely normal as we all do. Let it go, you got this.

13. The first time at the supermarket will feel like a holiday!

14. Breastfeeding Mamas, you will love your boobs while breastfeeding and the special bond you develop with your baby becomes your time together.

15. Enjoy it, as they are only little for a short while.

16. You will talk and brag about your baby at every opportunity you get about your baby.

17. You may feel lonely and down at times, refer to point 11. Always remember there is no such thing as a perfect mother, just a great one!

18. Nights are very looong but the years are so short! Enjoy every second.

19. They don’t come with an instruction manual, but don’t panic as you eventually will know exactly what to do as no one knows them better than you!

20. There is no other job in the world that is more rewarding and amazing than being a mother!

Well done to you, you wonderful mammas!!!

Tools for Solidarity | RESOLVE Collective

Dates: 25 June–5 November 2023 (Tuesday–Sunday, 11 am–6 pm)
Admission fee: FREE

This summer The Mosaic Rooms is pleased to invite children, families and all to play and create in our new outdoor play commission by RESOLVE Collective.

Tools for Solidarity is a collaborative project by RESOLVE Collective that draws on workshops with participants of Earl’s Court Youth Club, local families in the Earl’s Court area, and several schools in Ramallah, Palestine.

The outdoor play installation has been shaped through these participatory workshops, learning from the young peoples’ local experiences of place and belonging, solidarity, and togetherness. Tools for Solidarity animates and activates children’s creative language through play and presents a fun, interactive and evolving play structure in The Mosaic Rooms’ Garden.

This new project will manifest in a series of interactive sculptures which harness radical play and remix recycled materials to ask young people and their families: what tools are needed in our communities to practice solidarity? Throughout the summer, the installation will grow and evolve, changing through play, as a way of exploring and supporting practices of solidarity for a variety of communities and social causes locally and internationally.

June 29, 2023

Kensington Mums reviews

In case you are looking for a Tapas restaurant in London then keep reading. Inspired by traditional Spanish recipes and flavours with a focus on the north-western corner of Galicia, enjoy La Gamba in the heart of Southbank Centre, while you dine overlooking the Thames. Perfect for sunset drinks and dinner.

About La Gamba

Brothers behind Borough Market’s eponymous Applebee’s Fish, unveil their newest project, La Gamba, a riverside tapas restaurant overlooking the glorious views of the Thames at London’s Southbank Centre.

Situated on the Queen’s Walk at the front of the Royal Festival Hall, La Gamba serves modern takes on traditional Spanish dishes, accompanied by a list of curated cocktails and a wine list which will take you on a journey from the Douro River to the hills of Rioja.

Dine overlooking the Thames

Food and Drinks

While La Gamba takes inspiration from traditional Spanish recipes from all over the country, the menu largely showcases dishes and cooking techniques from the north-western Galician region of Spain. With around 1,500km of coastline, seafood dishes shine through the menu, as well as hearty plates, world-renowned cheeses, and delicate almond-based sweets, that the region is famous for.

The food including Spanish tapas was excellent and we were served by friendly and attentive waiters. The manager was particularly helpful regarding our allergy. We tried a variety of Tapas and the Paella was delicious. They also offer set tapas menu which has a great value. Full menu selection can be found here. You must try their Burnt basque Cheesecake!

As for drinks, La Gamba’s team of mixologists will bring their own in-house Vermouth, a variety of Sherrys and Sangrias alongside and have a dedicated Spanish gin list served in the classic goblet gin glasses.

With interiors created by Basque Architect, Cristina Lanz Azcarate from Atelier EURA, natural undertones of terracotta, stone and oak whisks guests away to sunnier climes. The menu features fresh seafood dishes which sister restaurant Applebee’s Fish is well known for, including St Austell Mussels cooked in a rich albariño and chorizo sauce; Cornish crab and fennel tostada; Iberico pork cheek empanadas and Galician picanha steak with truffle and San Simón cheese. Desserts will showcase the classic Burnt basque cheesecake and wonderful Torrijas, a Spanish twist on decadent French Toast.

Location

La Gamba is a riverside tapas restaurant at the Southbank Centre, overlooking the Thames in Royal Festival Hall.

Family friendly destination

Make this your next family outing, they have baby changing rooms, children’s menu and highchairs, outdoor seating available when the sun in shining. Ideally located nearby the Tate Modern, Southbank Centre, London Eye, London Dungeon, Shrek’s Adventure and SEA LIFE London Aquarium just to name a few.

What to Do in July in London

June 26, 2023

The summer holidays are just around the corner so it’s never been more important to get acquainted with all the kid-friendly activities in and around our little corner of West London.

New Balls Please

July Starting with the very British passion for tennis! From 27th June to 1st July, Hurlingham plays host to the Giorgio Armani Tennis Classic. This wonderful tournament celebrates timeless elegance and quintessential British traditions as the elite of the tennis world prepare for Wimbledon… which in turn begins on the 3rd July and last until the 16th July. Even if you haven’t managed to secure yourself some seats beforehand, Wimbledon is one of the very few major sporting events where you can buy premium tickets on the day of play. 500 tickets for Centre Courts, No.1 Court and No.2 Court will be sold for each day the courts are in play. You can also get yourself a grounds pass which enables you to access all courts including No,3 Court, Court 12 and Court 18, as well as The Hill, where they screen the action from Centre and No. 1 Courts.

Outdoor Pursuits

If the weather continues to be beautiful throughout the whole of July, it’d be a crying shame not to enjoy all of the wonderful outdoor activities in London’s gardens and parks. In Gunnersbury Park they will be hosting a number of child-focused activities including an outdoor performance of The Wind in the Willows on the 19th July and of The Tale of Peter Rabbit on the 21st July. At Kew Gardens, they will be performing Alice in Wonderland from Wednesdays to Sundays, 22nd July to 28th August.

And if you’re interested in the horticultural, the Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival will be taking place from 4th-9th July whilst on 25th July at Chelsea Physic Garden, they are hosting Discover Ferns: Plant a Dinosaur Habitat, a workshop for children ages 5 and up where each participant will learn about the properties of ferns and design their own mini dinosaur habitat to take home.

Summer Culture

Somerset House Summer Series returns in July 2023 with eleven nights of fabulous gigs within the House’s beautiful courtyard. The series presents a line-up of breakthrough music artists and established acts from across the globe. For something slightly more traditional, there is the always wonderful BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall. Running from 14th July all the way until 9th September, the programme showcases everything from Northern Soul to The Four Seasons. On 22nd July, the English National Opera Chorus and Orchestra will be showcasing the Horrible Histories’ ‘Orrible Opera at which children of all ages are welcome.

At Shakespeare’s Globe, they will be running A Midsummer Night’s Dream family workshops for those aged 5-8 and 9-12 for children aged 5 to 8. The Tate Modern is hosting UNIQLO Tate Play – the gallery’s new free programme of art, activities and play for families of all ages. Taking inspiration from the art on display at Tate Modern, their free activities and events offer families new ways to get creative and playfully explore art together. Meanwhile, the Museum of the Home is hosting a Summer Party on the 1st July, inspired by the class village fêtes of old.

The Royal Academy’s Summer Exhibition, which has run without interruption since 1769, runs from 13th June to 20th August. Among the 1,614 featured works you will find towering sculptures by the late Phyllida Barlow RA, Richard Malone’s dramatic mobile installation in the Wohl Central Hall, and a witty painting by comedian Joe Lycett. And at the V&A they will be hosting the DIVA Exhibition which will celebrate the power and creativity of iconic performers, exploring and redefining the role of ‘diva’ and how this has been subverted or embraced over time across opera, stage, popular music, and film.

1. Please introduce yourself: Name, what you do & how many children you have

Hi, I am Madeleine Shaw, I am a nutritional therapist and have a 5-year son.

2. How do you manage to juggle work and life balance as a mother?

It goes through waves, some weeks it’s easier and sometimes it’s harder. I have a great family who support me and help look after my son when I need extra support but I try and work efficiently when he is at school. I want to be around loads while my son is young so I know I won’t be able to work as much as I’d like to but this is the season I am in and I am trying to embrace it.

3. What top tips would you give to any working mum?

Do your movement first. It’s hard to get your movement in so do it first thing. I created The Glow Space for mums like me who only have 15-20 mins of time to do some movement. The platform also has meal prep plans with shopping lists which are great for prepping healthy meals to have in the fridge.

Use your commute to do emails, and keep your phone out of eyesight so you are more focused and less distracted. Know that being a mum doesn’t make you a worse worker, it makes you a better one. you gave birth and raised a child that is remarkable and you can’t take on anything!

4. What do you love most about London? Do you have a favourite spot with your children?

That is full of lots of villages. I love Richmond Park and having lunch at Petersham Nurseries. I love going to the Tate or recently I took my son to Frameless. I grew up in London and I love the balance of nature and culture.

5. How do you define quality ‘me-time’?

Being by myself on a hike in nature, that’s when I feel calm, connected and creative.

6. What is your favourite & least favourite thing about parenthood?

My favourite thing is the deep love, purpose and connection I feel to my son. My least favourite is the lack of downtime and time with my other loved ones.

7. Tell us something people don’t know about you

I’m pretty good at hula hooping

8. Given we are all about embracing Motherhood, what advice would you give a first-time Mum?

Enjoy the season you are in, often we wish we were in past or future seasons, we cant wait until our kids are older or miss when they were younger. You won’t get this moment back to enjoy the present.

9. I’m a mum and…

10. Finally, please let us know what you love most about Kensington Mums

I love reading about all the amazing things that are on in London I love getting out and about with my son so it’s the perfect place for inspiration.
