Meet a mum - Juliette
We love keeping in touch with parents here at yoomi and not only do we love to know what you think of our products but we also like to learn a little bit about you…. Juliette is a foster mum, something that we have utmost respect for here at yoomi. Hi Juliette….
Name: Juliette

How did you meet yoomi? I contacted Abbie in Customer Services, we got chatting and I’ve kept in touch ever since.
On being a Mum:

Ages? Ages 7, 4 and 4 months
Feeding highs/lows? Highs: Breastfeeding both my own children until they were 1 year old, discovering yoomi for the baby. Lows: 3am night feeds!!
Best thing about being a mum? The hugs, cuddles and unconditional love…
Most challenging bit about being a mum? Staying calm when all three children are screaming at the same time.
A typical day? Cleaning, tiding, feeding and acting as a taxi service (wouldn’t have it any other way!)

Top tip? If you are feeling stressed with the children make sure they are in a safe environment, walk away, make and drink a cup of tea. All will be better when you come back.
