What is Mum First?
Hi, my name is Susanna Maughan and I am the creator of Mum First.
As a first time mum I saw a lot of perfect mums on tiktok; dolled up in their emaculate houses, talking about their babies schedules and all the amazing products they use throughout the day. While we would all love this to be our reality, it only set unrealistic expectations for me as I began my journey of becoming a ‘mum first’ over every other aspect in my life.
each task now needed to be approached with a ‘mum first’ mindset.
Living a fairly basic life in my (much) less than fancy house, I felt guilty that I couldn’t afford the expensive products that other mums claimed were ‘must haves’. couldn’t keep up with the demands of every day life and have a consistently clean and tidy house. Everything I used to do with ease had now been made more challenging as each task now needed to be approached with a ‘mum first’ mindset.
Want to leave the house = what does baby need, what do I need to dress him in, does he need feeding before we go?
Need to cook dinner = how can I entertain baby from a safe distance, what can I cook quickly?…
So, as a breastfeeding mum who is usually covered in my 7 month olds latest food exploration, I wanted to create a space to share my honest experiences, thoughts and frustrations of all things mum, the good and the bad. To be the relatable person that I wanted to find when I started my journey and to colate all the information that I have found helpful and things that I definitely haven’t!
