So, before giving birth to our first baby, we had actually no clue about breastfeeding, I just thought “I will try to breastfeed and if I manage to last 6 months”. That was almost 4 years ago and I remember how naturally our son found his way to my boob in the first minutes of his life, while we were doing our first skin-to-skin ever. Breastfeeding came perfectly into place. We then read about all the benefits breastfeeding has, and we were quite blown away. Not only, do I find breastfeeding-on-demand convenient and economic, but it seems to be the best health wise for kids and mummas.
Of course, it can be hard sometimes, it’s important to have a supporting partner, who can take the kids when needed, take care of them in other ways (changing nappies, giving baths) as it can be very time consuming, especially in the beginning, waking up earlier to playing with the babies/kids to let the mum sleeping over or taking naps during the day. Distracting them when too tired/just wanna give up…
What can help when it’s hard is getting help from professional (La Leche League consultant, specialist in lactation) (most of the difficulties that are faced in the beginning of a breastfeeding adventure are commun problems that can easily be fixed when the right consultant is there to help) or non-professional (I have subscribed to a few groups on facebook of supporting mums, especially for tandem nursing). Listen to ourselves when we don’t feel like it anymore (I had to put some boundaries to our toddler at some point). And no matters what decision you take, it is your decision and the most important is LOVE

2 years ago, we were shooting this family traveling to Vanuatu (it ended up with a proposal and 2 days later they were getting married, just the most amazing story we got to cover !!!) and this year, as we were back in Holland for a few weeks, Fred, Lieselot and the girls made their way from Belgium for a lovely session ! It was super leuk to catch up, see how the girls have grown up and snap those smiles !!!

We were so happy to catch up with these 2 lovebirds we knew from uni (and hadn't seen since.. 13 years !). Their beautiful couple became a beautiful family with 3 cheeky kids joining the crew : Coline, Louison & Firmin.
Lovely time, photogenic family and gorgeous pics !!!

Happy Children’s Day to all ! Vanuatu celebrates the children today, isn’t that wonderful ? A day full of love, laugh, respect and fun :D
We strongly believe that to raise respectful kids we have to show them respect.
Here is a wonderful article shared by my lovely psychologist friend. Worth a reading ❤
https://www.heysigmund.com/correction-through-connection-as-it-turns-out-there-is-no-other-way/
“Using punishment (yelling, humiliating, forced exclusion as in time-outs) will make children behave in a certain way, but they will be more motivated by the need to stay out of trouble than by an intrinsic sense of what’s right. This might work okay for a while, but it can be fickle. What happens when we aren’t around? When there is less threat of a negative consequence, how will this play into their decision-making? If we’ve taught them that we aren’t safe for them to come to when they mess up, they won’t come to us when they mess up. When this happens, we lose our influence, and so do they. “
