I’ve been doing photography for a year now and met a lot of children of different ages as well as take photos daily of my own little terrors, which is actually the hardest challenge. The best way is to get down on their level, I usually stay away from taking photos from above as it’s usually not the best angle for kids depending on set up. Play their favourite programs , a favourite of mine that keeps ALL kids settled and looking in the direction of the camera is “ I hope this has given you some helpful tips on how to photograph your toddlers better, just remember, be patient , you won’t always be in control and most importantly have fun!

As before, with your first nursing child, as long as you keep latching baby on and monitor their nappy’s you’re newborn will be receiving enough milk. This worked really well for the three of us, when Logan was tired whilst feeding he would lay down in same position without support and enjoy stroking his sister head whilst she fed next to him. With a toddler, let them latch after you’ve got yourself and baby in position comfortably. If needs be , express a little milk before latching you’re baby on, this will slow down your milk flow.
