Hi. I’m Carla, the founder of treatmama and mummy to two wonderful boys, Wilf and Rafe. Whilst being a new mum is the best job in the world, I’m under no illusions that it also one of the hardest. At a time when all your priorities are shifted forever, it is still so important for new mums to look after themselves – and this was the key inspiration behind my decision to launch treatmama.
Whether you’re bringing home a baby for the first time or welcoming the latest member of a growing brood, there will always be occasions when a new mother feels overwhelmed. You might be worrying whether you're doing a good job, suffering from a lack of sleep, struggling with breastfeeding, or all of them at the same time. Whatever your situation, you're going to need to maintain your energy levels through nutritious foods.
I’m lucky enough to have some amazing friends, many of which have beautiful babies of their own. When Wilf was born, one of them bought me some healthy treats to help me get through the sleepless nights and to keep my spirits high – and it really made a difference! I had always found it difficult to find something special to give to my friends once baby arrives, but this really ticked all the boxes.
For so long, friends and family have been buying gifts for the new baby (and we do appreciate it!), but they can often forget about the person doing all the work. We want to change that. Our treatmama gift boxes are the perfect way to provide those incredible new mums with something luxurious, indulgent, and wholesome of their own. We just know how sitting down with a hot cuppa and a healthy snack can make all the difference.
