We're back! After a little break we are so excited to bring you another instalment of our popular MAMA SERIES and this month we welcome Emma Paton, the style superstar and mama behind fashion, lifestyle and interiors blog, Finlay Fox. We travelled to Emma's home in North London, to spend the morning with her and her beautiful daughter, Violet, chatting all things style and motherhood, as well as getting a sneaky glimpse at their gorgeous home (including those infamous bathroom tiles...swoon!).

When you find out your pregnant, all the courses and information will prepare you for the pregnancy and the birth, but what it doesn't prepare you for is what happens once your baby is safely in your arms. We had a chat withCharlotte Edun, from The Good Birth Practice about what happens once the baby is born and we just love the advice she shared, so we had to share it with you. This is the perfect read to scroll through and enjoy whilst feeding, we hope you like it!

With Mother's Day next month - Sunday 31st March, incase you're not sure - we welcome family and newborn photographer, Sarah Hart, to Mama + Max this week who discusses the importance of existing in photographs with our children. We are so guilty of it ourselves, wanting to take the photos and not be featured in them, fear of not looking our best or feeling self-conscious, but we have to remember that children don't care what we look like and at the end of the day, these photographs are for them and their future.

The countdown is on, you've reached your third trimester and people are now constantly asking you whether you've packed your hospital bag, fear not, we are here to help! We would recommend packing it around the 35-36 week mark, as your baby may make an early appearance and surprise you, so it is better to be prepared so you can just grab and go. We have prepared this helpful checklist so you can print it off and ensure you have everything you need for you and your new baby.
