Myrtle & Maude

Happy Christmas 🎄…getting in there early!

Myrtle & Maude want to wish you a lovely break and hope you enjoy all the precious moments over the holidays

I’ve been a little MIA thanks to a certain little someone (not naming names 🤣😆)

I’ve learned so much becoming a mama, and I haven’t always found it easy. Balancing motherhood with running a small business has been challenging to say the least, BUT 2026 you’ll be seeing more of me as I take the reins of Myrtle & Maude to power it forward.

We have had some hurdles over the last few years but we’re going to bounce back stronger than ever.

Here’s to 2026 ✨🤗

BREASTFEEDING MAMA FACT ✨

Did you know your body works harder producing milk than your brain uses just to function? 💪

Producing breast milk consumes 25% of your body’s energy - that’s more than your brain, which only uses 20%. Your body is doing incredible things every single day to nourish your baby.

To all the breastfeeding mums out there - you’re amazing and your body is a powerhouse. 💕

May Baby Facts 👶🏼👶🏽👶🏻

Fascinating Facts About these little spring chicks 🐣

Did you know people born in May tend to be natural optimists?

Research shows May babies are often taller at birth than winter babies and typically prefer evening hours over mornings.

From the emerald birthstone to famous May-born individuals like Audrey Hepburn and Dwayne Johnson, May birthdays come with interesting connections. Studies suggest these spring arrivals often excel in practical fields like finance, real estate, journalism, sales, and culinary arts 🧑🏼‍🍳

Pregnancy: the only marathon that lasts 9 months straight! 💪🏽

Did you know? Growing a tiny human is like running a marathon EVERY DAY!

Your heart pumps 50% more blood, you burn 300 extra calories daily without even trying, and your body works overtime creating life from scratch 🤯

More facts…
• Cardiac output increases by 30-50%

• Blood volume increases by about 45%

• Your heart pumps about 1-1.5 liters more blood per minute by the third trimester

•Oxygen consumption increases by 20-30%
