Hi I'm Elise, author of The Little Black Bump Book: a curated directory for soon-to-be-mothers in Singapore.
I wear a lot of hats (don't we all) - I'm a mum to three beautiful, rowdy little boys, an engineer, a car seat and stroller specialist, and the founder of PramFox.
When my first son was born in Singapore, I was quietly confident about this mothering business - until the day we left the hospital. It was a pretty quick downward spiral from there. With my husband back at work and no family around, I didn't know what I didn't know and that was a LOT. I was overwhelmed. I was alone. And I struggled.
I said rowdy, right? Jack's on the left, kissing (read: eating) Robbie with brotherly encouragement from Peter. PS. Don't worry - Robbie can hold his own these days.
I didn't know there was help to be had, and I certainly didn't know where to find it. Enter The Little Black Bump Book. This little gem pulls together over 100 of Singapore's best pregnancy and newborn related experts: from obstetricians to doulas, physios to lactation consultants, baby gear engineers to sleep specialists. Packed with golden advice directly from professionals, and sprinkled with intimately raw stories of motherhood from real mums, it's my sincere hope that The Little Black Bump Book will help you settle into your new role more gently than I did.
