Ali Bastian Instagram - She’s arrived! @davidcomahony and I welcomed our beautiful little girl into the world last Saturday. Isla is the proudest big sister! Our little family are snuggling in together for her fourth trimester and will be back with more news soon! ❤️
Ali Bastian Instagram - ❤️ Isla is going to be a big sister! ❤️@davidcomahony and I are over the moon to finally share our exciting news. Pick up a copy of OK! or click the link in my stories to see all the gorgeous pictures from our family shoot and read all about my pregnancy so far. ❤️ Thank you @ok_mag and your lovely team for making this shoot such a special family day for us. We had so much fun and Isla is still talking about it!! Special thanks to you all for being so kind and considerate where her allergies are concerned too. She was free to play and have fun with everyone and I LOVED every moment of feeling pampered! ❤️🤰🏼😘📸
Ali Bastian Instagram - ‘Who have you become?’ A question I was asked at a film screening a few months ago that still plays on my mind. She knew me from some of my telly work from years ago… and she was like, ‘yes, but who have you become?’ I tried to answer as honestly as I could. All I could think of to say was, ‘I’m still under construction…. Always under construction. Still learning all the time. I’m a wife, a mother, an actor, a coach, I direct, sometimes I use my skill sets to create content for people - but who have I become? I think I’m still figuring that out. Daily.’ I remember one of my biggest fears coming out of The Bill a few years ago, after an amazing ten year run on national telly… Hollyoaks first and then The Bill.. my entire 20s… was whether I knew who I was when the music stopped. I’d spent so many years with other people’s voices in my head… would I even know how to begin hear my own? Honestly… it’s taken time, it was quiet at first… almost inaudible, but little by little… ❤️
Ali Bastian Instagram - Thank you so much @ok_mag for sharing the news of our baby girl’s arrival! 🌸🌸🌸 Catch up on all the news of her birth in this week’s Ok! Magazine *Link in my stories*
Ali Bastian Instagram - ‘I just couldn’t wait for her to be put in my arms’ ❤️ We absolutely loved our shoot with Hollyoaks star @alibastianinsta and her husband @davidcomahony as they exclusively introduced us to their beautiful newborn daughter! 🥰🥰 . . . . . #alibastian #hollyoaks #babynews #celebritynews #family #newborn #love
Ali Bastian Instagram - And now… the back story. Saying good bye to my London flat was very emotional, I’ve lived there for about 18 years. I rented it first and then bought it a few years later. It was the most secure I had ever felt… I moved around a lot as a child and for many reasons often felt very unsettled. This flat was my life raft through highs and lows of my career, through the madness of covid, it’s where my babies came home from the hospital, took their first steps.. all the magical mess of life… The good, the bad… the hilarious and then the heartbreak. I never thought I would want to leave but life had other plans. I had a very difficult second birth and postpartum period with my second and in the end my little fam went to Ireland for a circuit breaker last year as my body just wasn’t healing. Two weeks after being in Ireland my c-section finally closed up, I was about 7 months pp by then. My nervous system finally had the break it so desperately needed - I was certainly suffering a major burn out at that point and London life was just too much on top of everything else. When we came back to London there were more turbulent times to come and some tremendous losses that brought me to my knees. Too raw to go in to. Somehow I put one foot in front of the other for my husband and babies. The job of ‘performer and actor’ that I had done professionally since childhood has felt almost impossible to show up in, too vulnerable, too exposing… I never imagined the career that I have loved, the thing that was my escape from a challenging childhood would feel so difficult. That showing up publicly in my own skin could feel so out of reach. Performing - a survival strategy devised in childhood, no longer working. What to do? We needed to change something, my husband has been working every minute of the day trying to keep us going and to hold me and our girls through all this. A little seed of hope had been planted last summer and a daydream, that turned into nightly discussions… could we do it? Should we do it? Could we make it work? Slowly a plan was hatched and here we are now sitting in our little house, overlooking the ocean on the West Coast of Ireland… cont.
Ali Bastian Instagram - Merry Christmas from ours to yours!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Somehow managed to scramble together Christmas lunch by 12 - in time for Isla’s lunch! I’m hopeful we’ve all started to turn the Covid corner. That was an unexpected Christmas curveball! Very grateful to be hauled up with my little fam. Sending so much love to you all ❤️❤️❤️🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
Ali Bastian Instagram - Got in a bit of a photo hole last night and found this old calender shot from when I was Miss December! I was never actually hugely comfortable doing these shoots and always battled to wear a swimsuit instead of a bikini… I would have worn a ski suit if they’d let me 😂 I think part of it was that these things didn’t feel terribly optional, it was very much part of being on the show I was on. I also never felt in ‘good enough’ shape… I kinda wish my 40 year old self could go back and have a little word with my 20 something year old self about that! On the flip side, looking back… we had a real laugh on this trip, i actually really like this shot as there is a confidence about it and it’s nice to be reminded and reflect on this season of my life ❤️ #naughties
Ali Bastian Instagram - Finally reunited with my beautiful bestie @sarahjaynedunn 💜 21 years of friendship, so much to catch up on, so much shared history- we only scratched the surface but my heart is full 💜 We started out together as babies on a hit tv show and rode the highs and lows of life, love, family and career together with our other besties @jodialbert and @carleystenson1 Through the pandemic and in my early months of motherhood… little cards in the post, Sunday morning videos to each other, our group brain-dump WhatsApp and zooming honestly kept me from feeling so alone and isolated. I’m so grateful to have you girls in my life. Not long before we will all be on the most overdue girlie weekend in history!!! I cannot wait. Love you 💜💜💜 ps. Thank you @cici_pr for such a lovely event. 📸: @jshaw_photography
Ali Bastian Instagram - David is building our buggy! S**t is getting real! #36weeks #pregnant today! 💖🤰🏼💫 eeeeeeek!!! #kindlygifted @myjoolz @mumandme_app
Ali Bastian Instagram - So this is 40! Thank you so, so much for all of your amazing messages. I had a lovely weekend filled with friends and family time and feel very grateful, especially in light of how alarming and turbulent everything is right now. Certainly makes me want to hold my fam a little closer. In terms of turning 40… it actually feels ok! … certainly a lot better than turning 30 felt! I remember really struggling with 30 - I was on the road touring with a musical, very lonely and homesick and actually spent the day in my digs in bed with bronchitis! I remember feeling that I wasn’t at the stage I ‘should’ be, as if there where these invisible boxes I ‘should’ be ticking… crazy really… Where my 20s were non-stop career wise, my 30s seemed to be about career and relationship highs and lows and getting well and truly lost in order to begin to ‘find myself’ … only to realise that I was never really lost to begin with, I was always there… just so busy I had forgotten how to feel. How to trust my instincts, how to listen to my knowing, how to sit with myself no matter how uncomfortable and uneasy and to comfort the parts of me that needed tending to… instead of running from them. In truth, I’m still working on ALL of this… I’m putting one foot in front of the other… but if 40 has invited in anything for me, it’s the deep desire to truly show up for myself and in turn, show up fully for those around me. 💜💫 *edited* It has just been brought to my attention that I have a baby wipe stuck to my foot in this photo 🤣… and that’s ok with me too. I’m here for all of it 😂💜
Ali Bastian Instagram - Thinking a lot about identity at the moment and the many facets of my life - the different hats I wear… and then my iPhone throws up these pics today! I wonder where she’s been hiding!? Sure she’s still in there somewhere!? #reclaimingthepiecesofme

Ali Bastian Instagram - Me and bump. There are some amazing women doing so much for postpartum body positivity. I have pretty substanstial diastasis recti from my previous pregnancy and two umblical hernias that have well and truly ‘popped’ as well as my bump! I’m not quite ready to reveal all of that for the world to see but I love my bump and I also wanted to give a big shout out to @hotmilklingerie who kindly gifted me this maternity/nursing bra. I bought loads of their bras when I was carrying Isla and lived in them through my breastfeeding journey which only ended when I was three months preggo with this one!! I love that they allow me to celebrate all the parts of me… the parts that are mothering, growing and sustaining life… and the part that is a sexy 40 year old woman. Thanks @hotmilklingerie ❤️#pregnancy #secondtrimester #breastfeeding #maternity #underwear
Ali Bastian Instagram - *Trigger warning - Grief*. My little one will be 12 weeks this Saturday. The End of the fourth trimester - the end of a period that has been one of the toughest of my life. A week after she was born, I lost one of my oldest and closest friends. Trying to process this enormous loss whilst walking the hormonal tightrope of my postpartum period has been and remains to be incredibly intense. I’ve taken to having long showers so I can cry and let it all out so that I can then return to parenting a little lighter. Knowing that such life changing events happening in such close succession could leave my mental health sailing incredibly close to the wind has meant I’ve had to seek help wherever I could find it. I have an incredible councillor I’ve seen for many years, we hired a Doula to support me as in the midst of all this my c-section stopped healing and is still not completely resolved, making it hard to do even the simplest things like lifting my baby and I’m forever grateful to @thehumanmethoduk who is helping me heal some of this somatically and stay grounded. Some days are easier than others and I am holding my babies tightly but ultimately… I miss my friend with all my heart. My beautiful, funny, dry as f**k friend. I miss her laugh, I miss our short hand. I miss our hugs when we hadn’t seen each other for ages. Our always long overdue catch ups over wine by the river. Friday nights when I would drive from wherever I had been filming to crash out on her and her dear husband’s sofa after a take away. So many memories, so many happy times. An incredible light went out that day. Lou, I will love you forever ❤️ xxx ps. These photos were from a magazine shoot we did years ago about being best friends. They are amongst some of my favourites of us. I can’t remember who the photographer was so I can’t credit but I hope if they see these they don’t mind me posting them ❤️

Ali Bastian Instagram - This year has been a year of sailing the lonely sea of grief. I haven’t spoken about it and so it’s been very tricky to know how to begin to show up authentically here and in my professional life… as the life I have carved out for myself is a very visible one and at times, a lot of times… I have wanted and needed to pull the duvet over my head. I am so grateful for the kindness, support and connection in this little corner of the internet and will continue to be here when I feel able and to also take the quiet time I need. I was really inspired by a post by @jvn and they way in which they were able to show up in the honesty and rawness of grief whilst honouring their own privacy and need to quietly process. My hope is to do the same here. I love being an actor, I love sharing fun and honest content on here and so appreciate all of your support ♥️
Ali Bastian Instagram - Anyone else feeling really Octobery???? I’ve been in such a funk the last couple of days, as if I could feel the storm brewing. I couldn’t connect with what it was that was going on for me, I just felt heavy, tired and anxty. Then, strangely, it all came to a head. I’d been referred for a scan about 8 months ago as I’ve had terrible mid-cycle pain since having Isla, I’d figured the wait must have been due to the pandemic, so I put it to the back of my mind. After a chat with @angeliquepanagos yesterday, I got the cosmic kick up the arse to chase it up - only to discover that I wasn’t on the list at all and that I was considered a ‘no show’ as I’d ‘missed’ two appointments - I hadn’t received a single letter! Maybe the post, maybe hospital admin… who knows. I was also told brilliantly the NHS aims to see you in 5 weeks if you have been referred for a scan. I had no idea! So I was told they could squeeze me in today as they had a cancellation. And then it hit me, the fear that I had buried that something was wrong. The guilt that I had put myself and my health to the very bottom of the endless ‘to do list.’ I’d let myself slip through the net - I know better than do do that - and I was afraid. I’ve always tried to brave things out and have struggled to name my emotions in the moment - but I thought I’d try something different. So I rang my mum. I rang my mum and told her how scared I was … and then I cried and cried some more. I told her I was tired as I’d had little sleep and by the end of the conversation I felt more able to walk into the appointment alone. I had the loveliest sonographer and I thought I would try it again… ‘I’m nervous about this procedure and I’m scared about the results… this has waited far too long and I’ve been in a lot of pain.’ She heard me. She was so kind and thorough and at the end, gave me the all clear! And exhale!!! I walked out of her room and there standing in the corridor was my little mum, who had managed somehow to talk her way into the hospital (definitely where I get my negotiation skills from.) She gave me the biggest hug and I cried some more. I am a mother now, but in that moment, I needed my mum… and there she was.
Ali Bastian Instagram - Last bump pic the night before going in to deliver Izzy. 💜 So full of emotions and anticipation! It wasn’t such a smooth ride c-section wise this time. I’ve gone on to have really delayed healing with my incision, it’s been so frustrating and really easy to feel like it’s me vs my body on this very different postpartum journey. I have my beautiful baby girl in my arms now and so important to remember what a tremendous journey my body has been on! Trying to be kind to myself, but also so hard to move forward in any way until I’m properly healed. Fingers crossed I’m on the mend now! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻💜💫 Body suit @jorgen_house #gift

Ali Bastian Instagram - 30 weeks today!! 🤰🏼 #bumpdate Feeling ready to fully enter hibernation mode, especially with this cold weather - two year old has other ideas! In some ways it’s probably not the worst thing that she is helping me stay reasonably active. I’m still managing my Gestational Diabetes with diet - although never sure how long that will be for - I’m trying to not be too attached to the idea I can ‘control’ it and accept that if I need medication then that’s what I will do to keep me and bubba safe. Keeping moving more than I did in first pregnancy has got to be a good thing though! It’s hard to not be able to eat what I feel like - which honestly, most of the time is cake!! I miiiisssss caaaake!! And chocolate and crisps and did I mention cake??? Also top tip for anyone else preggo in this cold weather.. @seraphinematernity do this fleece lined set of thermals that I got a few weeks back when I was filming outside all day! 🎬❤️And their 3 in 1 Maternity to baby wearing parka is a faux fur lined dream that comes with an extra panel for baby wearing with a little hood. I was a big baby wearer with Isla and really hope to carry our new bubba! Swipe for frosty photo dump! 💜 #thirdtrimester #pregnancy #bump #gift

Ali Bastian Instagram - We got away for TWO WHOLE blissful nights!!! 10 minutes from where I grew up… When I was little, my parents had a difficult divorce and we weren’t in a financial position to go away on holl with my Mum for many years. One of my fondest memories growing up was her booking a night for us at the Holiday Inn as a treat… around the corner from where we lived!!…. So we could order room service, watch cartoons in bed and use the swimming pool like the two little water babies we were - and still are! We felt like lottery winners!! I now have a deeper understanding of the very real need my mum must have had for a change of scene and to mementarily simplify life with two small children. I’m so lucky that I have been able to travel in my adult life and dreamed of doing that with my new little family in tow… but with Covid lockdowns and learning how to keep my little one safe with multiple food allergies, it was something that started to feel so out of reach… then I remembered my Mum packing us up in the car for our ‘mini-adventure’ and I thought… I can do this! Like a little homing pigeon, I drove us all back to my home town. We packed a car full of safe foods and asked the hotel to empty the mini-bar to keep our food cold. We snuck in a toaster! If all else failed, there would always be tea and toast! We had hotel room picnics, swam like little fish and fed the ducks their peas and sweet corn. I feel recharged. It was a huge win for us as a family and a change was definitely a good rest! 💞

So we could order room service, watch cartoons in bed and use the swimming pool like the two little water babies we were - and still are! We felt like lottery winners!! I now have a deeper understanding of the very real need my mum must have had for a change of scene and to mementarily simplify life with two small children. I’m so lucky that I have been able to travel in my adult life and dreamed of doing that with my new little family in tow… but with Covid lockdowns and learning how to keep my little one safe with multiple food allergies, it was something that started to feel so out of reach… then I remembered my Mum packing us up in the car for our ‘mini-adventure’ and I thought… I can do this! Like a little homing pigeon, I drove us all back to my home town. We packed a car full of safe foods and asked the hotel to empty the mini-bar to keep our food cold. We snuck in a toaster! If all else failed, there would always be tea and toast! We had hotel room picnics, swam like little fish and fed the ducks their peas and sweet corn. I feel recharged. It was a huge win for us as a family and a change was definitely a good rest! 💞

Ali Bastian Instagram - I. Want. More. Almost sounds like dirty words doesn’t it!? More support, more strength, more balance… more me. I woke up on the morning of my 40th birthday with the dawning realisation that I had slipped down to the bottom of the ‘to do’ list. I had been invited to go and see a fab women’s health physio… and I had put it off FOR TWO WHOLE YEARS!! I messaged @martadowner @letowoman that morning and asked if it was ‘too late for me.’.. As that’s where I was at with the whole thing. Turns out it’s not! Turns out for me, it was probably just the right time… to sit down with another women and share the history of my body and the story that it’s currently telling.. of hyper mobility and injuries, of pregnancy, GD, SPD, birth and c-section, of beginning my parenting journey one week before lockdown… of my current feelings of disconnect with my tummy and soaring stress levels with the hyper-vigilance involved in raising a toddler with multiple severe allergies. What also transpired in that meeting was that I really miss dancing! I miss connecting with the energy of group exercise and the positive feelings attached to it. I came out feeling lighter, feeling seen heard and understood. YES to loving our postpartum bodies, YES to body positivity AND also a big YES to seeking out the help and support we need and deserve because there are things we don’t have to live with, healing can happen at any time and particularly for us lock down mammas who may not have gotten the help that we needed to unpack what we’ve been through, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Thank you Marta for being part of my journey back to me. I will forever be grateful. 🙏🏻💜⭐️ #collab women #womenshealth #womenshealthphysio #collaboration #gift #thankyou #postpartum #postpartumbody
Ali Bastian Instagram - David came home from rehearsals early today - after screaming in his face because I wasn’t expecting him and my worn out, sleep deprived brain couldn’t calculate fast enough why there was a man in the flat… and that the man in question was in fact… my husband. I have politely declined the kind offer of a bath, knowing all too well that I would end up like that Mamma elephant in the classic kid’s book ‘5 minutes Peace,’ with them all in the blinkin’ bathroom with me.., and so I have done what I recommend any of you do given half the chance…. RUN …. RUN as fast as my legs could carry me to our local coffee shop. To sit and scroll Instagram in peace 😂 and now I miss them… obvs 🙄

Ali Bastian Instagram - Toddler life. By Ali and Isla. Want to write something poetic about getting so upset about chalk that she cried out for Mummy milk and skin on skin. That although my milk supply is low and it is all coming to an end, she cried about it but seemed happier that we tried than me saying ‘later’ and then cuddled into me and fell asleep. That today, clothes are the enemy. That she has incredible moments of independence and bravery and will do crazy mountain goat kitchen climbing. That she loves drawing and is our very own Banksy. That she doesn’t want to hold my hand when we are out walking and is settling well into nursery and that she wants to sleep on me and feed at 10pm, 12am, 2am, 4am and 6am. That I’m so completely in love and I feel like I have concussion from sleep deprivation. That I want the world for her and want to keep her safe in a bubble. Not very poetic as I’m tired today but a little window into our perfectly imperfect world 💜

Ali Bastian Instagram - My fb keeps throwing up memories! An oldie but a goodie. Throwing it back to feeling glam on a shoot with the fab @josephsinclair ❤️📸 Thinking of going blonde again for my 40th next month, what do you reckon? Xx ♓️
Ali Bastian Instagram - Would only nap today if I wore my sun glasses. The randomness of kids. Also.. won’t wear her ‘sleeping bags’ any more but will ONLY wear this one as we call her a Wizard when she wears it and have named it her ‘Abracadabra’ ⭐️ What’s the most random thing your toddler has demanded? 😂
Ali Bastian Instagram - That Friday Feeling! 💙(tbh not exactly how I’m feeling right now.. Isla and I not been on top form this week and I currently have a couple of hours child care - have thrown my to-do list out the window and am currently laying down flat!) Wanted to post a pic I felt pretty in! Bare foot in my living room, photo by my husband ❤️ 📸: @bluepineapplepictures 👗: @lovebastianinsta #mybusiness
Ali Bastian Instagram - Out with my little early riser. 🌅 We all have such different sleep needs in this house. This one is definitely a lark… she basically puts herself to bed at 6pm every night no matter what I do but is up at the crack of dawn. Isla and David are night owls and often pretty cranky in the morning - sorry @davidcomahony 🤣 and I am honestly neither… I love sleep and can go to bed early, lay in.. my optimum is about 13 hours sleep and I have a small window of operating at full capacity somewhere in the middle of the day… and yet… I SLEEP THE F***ING LEAST!!!!!!! I want to start a mum camp where we can all just get in our pyjamas and sleep and people bring us cake. WHO IS WITH ME?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 #sleep #baby #family #buggy #joolzaer #stroller #gift @myjoolz @mumandme_app
Ali Bastian Instagram - These days I’m tending to take a ‘come as you are’ approach to social media (unless it’s a throwback, in which case it’s a ‘come as you were 10 years ago’ 😂) - especially since the magical mayhem of motherhood! If I waited for it all to be perfect I’d never show up for my own life, let alone Instagram! When @youknowwhosuk invited me to team up with them I decided I wanted to take some photos feeling great in my skin! I love my new gym kit from You Know Who’s, use: ALI10 to receive 10% of your order, be quick as stock sells super quickly! …. I managed to get some make up on for these shots, couldn’t quite get my hair dried whilst toddler wrangling but went for it anyway - but in the end, there’s no where to hide! Swipe for the reality 😂 At least with my gym kit on there is an outside chance I might actually do some exercise!? … or maybe just lay on the floor in sivasana…. Either way… And breath 🧘‍♀️💜💫 PR AD #newyearsameme

Ali Bastian Instagram - 25 weeks this week 🤰🏼Welcoming in all the warm loveliness of little kicks and somersaults and loving every moment of feeling connected to this new little bundle 💖… and also… hello reflux, gestational diabetes and SPD my old friends. Ahhhh all part of the rich tapestry…
Ali Bastian Instagram - Christmas Photo Dump!!! 🎄🎄🎄 We felt so incredibly lucky to be able to share Christmas with my family given the absolute hellish lottery of the Covid situation at the moment. D had one day off Panto so Christmas Day was just the three of us…. With my fam popping in and out the rest of the time and a lovely late night doorstep visit from my in-laws. ❤️ 📸 1.Christmas Eve game starting strong. 2. My mum upping the Xmas ante by putting my child in a stocking. 3. Bella (my Mum’s dog) and Isla were inseparable. 4. Christmas Morning… my little early riser discovering her new kitchen! She makes a mean ‘cup of cino’ ☕️. 5. Getting a full Xmas dinner out of the oven by 12 so we could all eat together on Isla’s schedule meant we were all still in our pyjamas and no chance to run a brush through my hair or so much as stick on an eyeliner. It was chaos … but it was our chaos ❤️ 6. … just because ❤️ . 7. Boxing Day … finally got some make up on and an ‘out fit’… David bought me a mini ring flash and I was trying to look cute… but just managed to look a bit dead eyed and weird 😂. 8. First time we ventured out of the house after living like hamsters for three days 🐹😂. 9. I LOVE this pic that my mum took and sent to me… I didn’t know it existed. It’s quite emotional to see myself looking so happy and relaxed. Isla has multiple allergies and weaning was a white knuckle ride. For a long time just setting foot in the kitchen I was on absolute red alert. This captures my baby enjoying her food and the simple joy that brings. It makes me realise how far we have come. 10. Merry Christmas ❤️🎄🌟

She makes a mean ‘cup of cino’ ☕️. 5. Getting a full Xmas dinner out of the oven by 12 so we could all eat together on Isla’s schedule meant we were all still in our pyjamas and no chance to run a brush through my hair or so much as stick on an eyeliner. It was chaos … but it was our chaos ❤️ 6. … just because ❤️ . 7. Boxing Day … finally got some make up on and an ‘out fit’… David bought me a mini ring flash and I was trying to look cute… but just managed to look a bit dead eyed and weird 😂. 8. First time we ventured out of the house after living like hamsters for three days 🐹😂. 9. I LOVE this pic that my mum took and sent to me… I didn’t know it existed. It’s quite emotional to see myself looking so happy and relaxed. Isla has multiple allergies and weaning was a white knuckle ride. For a long time just setting foot in the kitchen I was on absolute red alert. This captures my baby enjoying her food and the simple joy that brings. It makes me realise how far we have come. 10. Merry Christmas ❤️🎄🌟
Ali Bastian Instagram - Christmas Photo Dump!!! 🎄🎄🎄 We felt so incredibly lucky to be able to share Christmas with my family given the absolute hellish lottery of the Covid situation at the moment. D had one day off Panto so Christmas Day was just the three of us….

Ali Bastian Instagram - One of @davidcomahony and my favourite photos with Isla from our new interview in @hellomag – out today!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thank you as always @hellomag for handling the sensitive nature of our interview with such kindness, warmth and respect, you are always such a joy to talk to. ❤️ xxxxx and big love to @bellepr_ @charlottebelletobinpr for supporting us in sharing our story and raising #allergyawareness ❤️
Ali Bastian Instagram - Trying to find one photo of the three of us where none of us are doing anything strange 😂 or blinking or looking in the opposite direction 😂 You’d think we’d have got the hang of this by now!? Navigating life and motherhood with the support of my besties @sarahjaynedunn @carleystenson1 and @jodialbert (we missed you so much 💜) I made a bit of an impromptu (French Martini induced) speech about it at lunch yesterday - but we really have shared so much and I feel so lucky to have a gang that I can literally say ANYTHING to! There is always a seat at the table for whatever is showing up for any of us and I’m so, so grateful for that. I truly believe when you put a group of women together, magic happens. Here’s to making many new memories. Happy Mother’s Day gang 💫💫💫 📸: By Stan!
Ali Bastian Instagram - I’ve been a little quiet on here as we have been right in the thick of a giant housemove. After a year of the most profound loss, we decided to change our lives completely and trade in city life for a whole new adventure… we cannot wait to share our new chapter with you 🌊❤️💫
Ali Bastian Instagram - Thank you so much @actionforchildrenuk @lielle_mua @chris88hair @bellepr_ for such a special morning ❤️

Ali Bastian Instagram - Hand on heart, my stress levels have been through the roof lately and I honestly think that’s why I’ve been coming down with so many bugs. My nervous system is a bit frazzled getting back out onto the world - like I’ve just emerged from some kind of cacoon! And the family and professional life juggle is real! What I’ve noticed, through my own experience and through coaching others is that as soon as I’m in a state where I’m desperately trying to find a way to create the 36 hour day or the 8 day week - that is exactly the moment I actually need to take my foot of the gas. To rest and restore and to tend to my own needs. During lockdown, I was so much better at getting out into nature and self soothing with long walks - quite frankly, apart from the domestic treadmill, there wasn’t much else to do to create routine - but now as the to-do list lengthens, I’m having to consciously decide to get out of the flat - or it just won’t happen! I’m loving @Revolutionrace for their technical clothing that doesn’t put function entirely over form! As I’m sure you all know, I LOVE colour!!! Bright colours lift my mood and make me happy. I was drawn straight away to the waterproof, wind proof coral Cyclone Jacket, perfect for skiing and all year round mountain sports AND feels great on a dogwalk with my toddler! Revolution Race’s ‘Highwaisted Bouncer Jeans’ - shower proof, figure hugging, more flattering than your average hiking gear, warmer than a legging and SIX POCKETS… enjoy!! ❤️ Use my code: ALI15 Ps. I’ve hiked two mountains in my life, Snowden and Gaustatoppen in Norway and it wasn’t in gear that looked like this! I cannot wait to breath that mountain air again, clear my head and give this kit a run out!… one of these days… 🤔💭 Use:Ali15 for 15% off code valid from 5th-7th May, cannot be combined with other offers … Enjoy!!

Ali Bastian Instagram - Travelling with allergies… I was asked recently how it was for us travelling as an allergy family. Here are a few of my top tips! As always, take what you need and forget the rest! 💖🌊⭐️… I was so nervous the first time. The airline were virtually impossible to get hold of before flying and deeply unhelpful when we did manage to speak to someone. HOWEVER… every time we have flown with them we have told them at the gate and they have made an announcement on the plane. The crew and ground staff are always very kind. The seats on this particular airline are plastic and I always do a high speed wipe down including the tray and seat belt with Detox wipes or soap based @marcelsgreensoapuk wipes if I’ve got organised enough to get some! … There are no seat pockets, so no old food hidden down there… bonus! I’ve found security with carrying medication and food generally pretty good. Bit of an issue over an ice pack on the way out this time, but in the end it was ok as I have to travel with ‘safe’ food for her… enough if we get delayed… and in this weather I need to keep it cool. Won the battle in the end but also, fully prepared to chuck them if it was a prob. Carrying all allergy travel plans & action plans is a must. Keep epis and antihistamine in boxes or bottles with pescription labels. We stay at my in-laws so there is a kitchen and we mainly cook there. We’ve found loads of free-from foods in Ireland. I definitely recommend looking at @theallergyteam for amazing resources on travel and life in general with allergies. Insulated @allerpacks for keeping epis at a stable temp in hot weather are brill! It’s always nerve wracking and I don’t want to get in a false sense of security as I know s**t can always happen! But so far, our experiences have been very positive and making memories feels so worth the anxiety and extra planning that goes in to it. At the end of the day, it’s about what feels right for you and your fam! 💖💖💖✈️🌈 #travel #allergy #allergyfriendly #allergyfamily #allergytravel
Ali Bastian Instagram - Happy Anniversary my love @davidcomahony ❤️ Four years ago today!! Love you! Xxxx
Ali Bastian Instagram - London in the sunshine this morning ❤️☀️🌈
Ali Bastian Instagram - Love a contact nap. All naps are naps. And I’m learning all bubbas are so different. Nothing that works with Izzy worked with Isla and vice versa. Apart from a nap in a sling. That one has been universal 💤💤💤 #infantsleep #babygirl #baby #sleep So far Izzy has actually been a much more settled sleeper. One or two feeds a night and sleeping from 7ish to around 5am. Not the same every night and I know it could all change! I’d say the difference the second time is that I know how changeable it all is and that frequent night wakings are so normal. It doesn’t mean I don’t miss sleep… but I’m not expending nearly as much energy trying to change her patterns. Although, maybe that’s because we are in a rhythm that feels sustainable. If that stops being the case, I may end up being a lot more proactive! #sleep #braindump #😂
Ali Bastian Instagram - Naked of the face and filter free. How liberating. Happy Bank Holl Weekend gang ❤️. I went to an event last night for a screening of a film I shot last year and not gonna lie, I had some hefty social anxiety before hand and it certainly took me a little while to settle once I arrived - but then it felt AMAZING to be around so many young creatives and film makers that are making SHIT HAPPEN!! So exciting! I am an extrovert at heart and I think that’s another reason lockdown was so challenging… Being around other humans recharges me!! I just feel like I’ve forgotten how to do it!? Any one else feel like that?? It feels like such an internal collision of loving connection and needing it AND learning how to feel comfortable and safe in that environment again. I got some amazing hugs from some beautiful souls at the end. Wow. The power of open hearts and big hugs @danielqannoh @lilomenbaby ❤️🎥
Ali Bastian Instagram - We had the most magical day yesterday with my dear friend @carleystenson1 and little Skye. Isla went on the beach and dipped her toes in the sea for the first time and she loved it!! Magic!! 💫🌊💖. Carley thank you for the most beautiful day and for all the care you took with Isla’s allergies. You are a black belt friend! You made us feel so safe and so very, very welcome. When a friend ‘gets it’ like you do it makes such a huge difference and means Isla can play freely and I can breathe a little easier knowing that another adult also has eyes in the back of their head! I hope this is the beginning of many adventures to come!! Love you loads 💖💖💖💖💖

Ali Bastian Instagram - It’s #csectionawarenessmonth I thought I would share my story again. The moment that changed my life forever ❤️ *We managed to get some incredible photos of Isla’s birth, courtesy of the operating theatre staff but this is one of my absolute favourites. This was moments before she was born. David is right by my side supporting me as always, but what I didn’t anticipate was that I would also have a right hand woman. Those blue gloved hands that are holding mine belong to her. Georgie, my anaesthetist. I was blown away by the kindness I experienced from all of the doctors, nurses and consultants... but this beautiful soul sticks firmly in my mind. As well as monitoring every aspect of my physical health and wellbeing, she somehow had the capacity to support me emotionally and mentally, talking me through every aspect of what was happening... Excitedly letting me know when it was nearly time to meet my baby and most memorably... holding my hand when I was scared. I was such a heady mix of excitement and anticipation... but also more nervous than I think I had ever been about anything. I had never experienced such a large medical procedure and when I arrived in the theatre, my teeth were chattering with adrenaline! My blood pressure dropped a couple of time during the op and she calmly and proficiently adjusted my sails and then held my hand to steady me. She made me laugh with her dry, razor sharp wit and showed me kindness and compassion when I cried and was overwhelmed with emotion. Thank you Georgie, I will never forget you. I’m so grateful to you and everyone at @chelwestft ... there are so many people that left such a lasting impression on me, I will definitely tell you about some of the others. I think about them all the time and pray they are keeping safe and well Xxxxx *

She knew me from some of my telly work from years ago… and she was like, ‘yes, but who have you become?’ I tried to answer as honestly as I could. All I could think of to say was, ‘I’m still under construction…. Always under construction. Still learning all the time. I’m a wife, a mother, an actor, a coach, I direct, sometimes I use my skill sets to create content for people - but who have I become? I think I’m still figuring that out. Daily.’ I remember one of my biggest fears coming out of The Bill a few years ago, after an amazing ten year run on national telly… Hollyoaks first and then The Bill.. my entire 20s… was whether I knew who I was when the music stopped. I’d spent so many years with other people’s voices in my head… would I even know how to begin hear my own? Honestly… it’s taken time, it was quiet at first… almost inaudible, but little by little… ❤️

Likes : 2913Ali Bastian - 2.9K Likes - And now… the back story. Saying good bye to my London flat was very emotional, I’ve lived there for about 18 years. I rented it first and then bought it a few years later. It was the most secure I had ever felt… I moved around a lot as a child and for many reasons often felt very unsettled. This flat was my life raft through highs and lows of my career, through the madness of covid, it’s where my babies came home from the hospital, took their first steps.. all the magical mess of life… The good, the bad… the hilarious and then the heartbreak. I never thought I would want to leave but life had other plans. I had a very difficult second birth and postpartum period with my second and in the end my little fam went to Ireland for a circuit breaker last year as my body just wasn’t healing. Two weeks after being in Ireland my c-section finally closed up, I was about 7 months pp by then. My nervous system finally had the break it so desperately needed - I was certainly suffering a major burn out at that point and London life was just too much on top of everything else. When we came back to London there were more turbulent times to come and some tremendous losses that brought me to my knees. Too raw to go in to. Somehow I put one foot in front of the other for my husband and babies. The job of ‘performer and actor’ that I had done professionally since childhood has felt almost impossible to show up in, too vulnerable, too exposing… I never imagined the career that I have loved, the thing that was my escape from a challenging childhood would feel so difficult. That showing up publicly in my own skin could feel so out of reach. Performing - a survival strategy devised in childhood, no longer working. What to do? We needed to change something, my husband has been working every minute of the day trying to keep us going and to hold me and our girls through all this. A little seed of hope had been planted last summer and a daydream, that turned into nightly discussions… could we do it? Should we do it? Could we make it work? Slowly a plan was hatched and here we are now sitting in our little house, overlooking the ocean on the West Coast of Ireland… cont.

This flat was my life raft through highs and lows of my career, through the madness of covid, it’s where my babies came home from the hospital, took their first steps.. all the magical mess of life… The good, the bad… the hilarious and then the heartbreak. I never thought I would want to leave but life had other plans. I had a very difficult second birth and postpartum period with my second and in the end my little fam went to Ireland for a circuit breaker last year as my body just wasn’t healing. Two weeks after being in Ireland my c-section finally closed up, I was about 7 months pp by then. My nervous system finally had the break it so desperately needed – I was certainly suffering a major burn out at that point and London life was just too much on top of everything else. When we came back to London there were more turbulent times to come and some tremendous losses that brought me to my knees. Too raw to go in to. Somehow I put one foot in front of the other for my husband and babies. The job of ‘performer and actor’ that I had done professionally since childhood has felt almost impossible to show up in, too vulnerable, too exposing… I never imagined the career that I have loved, the thing that was my escape from a challenging childhood would feel so difficult. That showing up publicly in my own skin could feel so out of reach. Performing – a survival strategy devised in childhood, no longer working. What to do? We needed to change something, my husband has been working every minute of the day trying to keep us going and to hold me and our girls through all this. A little seed of hope had been planted last summer and a daydream, that turned into nightly discussions… could we do it? Should we do it? Could we make it work? Slowly a plan was hatched and here we are now sitting in our little house, overlooking the ocean on the West Coast of Ireland… cont.

I was never actually hugely comfortable doing these shoots and always battled to wear a swimsuit instead of a bikini… I would have worn a ski suit if they’d let me 😂 I think part of it was that these things didn’t feel terribly optional, it was very much part of being on the show I was on. I also never felt in ‘good enough’ shape… I kinda wish my 40 year old self could go back and have a little word with my 20 something year old self about that! On the flip side, looking back… we had a real laugh on this trip, i actually really like this shot as there is a confidence about it and it’s nice to be reminded and reflect on this season of my life ❤️ #naughties

I had a lovely weekend filled with friends and family time and feel very grateful, especially in light of how alarming and turbulent everything is right now. Certainly makes me want to hold my fam a little closer. In terms of turning 40… it actually feels ok! … certainly a lot better than turning 30 felt! I remember really struggling with 30 - I was on the road touring with a musical, very lonely and homesick and actually spent the day in my digs in bed with bronchitis! I remember feeling that I wasn’t at the stage I ‘should’ be, as if there where these invisible boxes I ‘should’ be ticking… crazy really… Where my 20s were non-stop career wise, my 30s seemed to be about career and relationship highs and lows and getting well and truly lost in order to begin to ‘find myself’ … only to realise that I was never really lost to begin with, I was always there… just so busy I had forgotten how to feel. How to trust my instincts, how to listen to my knowing, how to sit with myself no matter how uncomfortable and uneasy and to comfort the parts of me that needed tending to… instead of running from them. In truth, I’m still working on ALL of this… I’m putting one foot in front of the other… but if 40 has invited in anything for me, it’s the deep desire to truly show up for myself and in turn, show up fully for those around me. 💜💫 *edited* It has just been brought to my attention that I have a baby wipe stuck to my foot in this photo 🤣… and that’s ok with me too. I’m here for all of it 😂💜

I have pretty substanstial diastasis recti from my previous pregnancy and two umblical hernias that have well and truly ‘popped’ as well as my bump! I’m not quite ready to reveal all of that for the world to see but I love my bump and I also wanted to give a big shout out to @hotmilklingerie who kindly gifted me this maternity/nursing bra. I bought loads of their bras when I was carrying Isla and lived in them through my breastfeeding journey which only ended when I was three months preggo with this one!! I love that they allow me to celebrate all the parts of me… the parts that are mothering, growing and sustaining life… and the part that is a sexy 40 year old woman.

The End of the fourth trimester - the end of a period that has been one of the toughest of my life. A week after she was born, I lost one of my oldest and closest friends. Trying to process this enormous loss whilst walking the hormonal tightrope of my postpartum period has been and remains to be incredibly intense. I’ve taken to having long showers so I can cry and let it all out so that I can then return to parenting a little lighter. Knowing that such life changing events happening in such close succession could leave my mental health sailing incredibly close to the wind has meant I’ve had to seek help wherever I could find it. I have an incredible councillor I’ve seen for many years, we hired a Doula to support me as in the midst of all this my c-section stopped healing and is still not completely resolved, making it hard to do even the simplest things like lifting my baby and I’m forever grateful to @thehumanmethoduk who is helping me heal some of this somatically and stay grounded. Some days are easier than others and I am holding my babies tightly but ultimately… I miss my friend with all my heart. My beautiful, funny, dry as f**k friend. I miss her laugh, I miss our short hand. I miss our hugs when we hadn’t seen each other for ages. Our always long overdue catch ups over wine by the river. Friday nights when I would drive from wherever I had been filming to crash out on her and her dear husband’s sofa after a take away. So many memories, so many happy times. An incredible light went out that day. Lou, I will love you forever ❤️ xxx ps. These photos were from a magazine shoot we did years ago about being best friends. They are amongst some of my favourites of us. I can’t remember who the photographer was so I can’t credit but I hope if they see these they don’t mind me posting them ❤️

I am so grateful for the kindness, support and connection in this little corner of the internet and will continue to be here when I feel able and to also take the quiet time I need. I was really inspired by a post by @jvn and they way in which they were able to show up in the honesty and rawness of grief whilst honouring their own privacy and need to quietly process. My hope is to do the same here. I love being an actor, I love sharing fun and honest content on here and so appreciate all of your support ♥️

Likes : 1934Ali Bastian - 1.9K Likes - Anyone else feeling really Octobery???? I’ve been in such a funk the last couple of days, as if I could feel the storm brewing. I couldn’t connect with what it was that was going on for me, I just felt heavy, tired and anxty. Then, strangely, it all came to a head. I’d been referred for a scan about 8 months ago as I’ve had terrible mid-cycle pain since having Isla, I’d figured the wait must have been due to the pandemic, so I put it to the back of my mind. After a chat with @angeliquepanagos yesterday, I got the cosmic kick up the arse to chase it up - only to discover that I wasn’t on the list at all and that I was considered a ‘no show’ as I’d ‘missed’ two appointments - I hadn’t received a single letter! Maybe the post, maybe hospital admin… who knows. I was also told brilliantly the NHS aims to see you in 5 weeks if you have been referred for a scan. I had no idea! So I was told they could squeeze me in today as they had a cancellation. And then it hit me, the fear that I had buried that something was wrong. The guilt that I had put myself and my health to the very bottom of the endless ‘to do list.’ I’d let myself slip through the net - I know better than do do that - and I was afraid. I’ve always tried to brave things out and have struggled to name my emotions in the moment - but I thought I’d try something different. So I rang my mum. I rang my mum and told her how scared I was … and then I cried and cried some more. I told her I was tired as I’d had little sleep and by the end of the conversation I felt more able to walk into the appointment alone. I had the loveliest sonographer and I thought I would try it again… ‘I’m nervous about this procedure and I’m scared about the results… this has waited far too long and I’ve been in a lot of pain.’ She heard me. She was so kind and thorough and at the end, gave me the all clear! And exhale!!! I walked out of her room and there standing in the corridor was my little mum, who had managed somehow to talk her way into the hospital (definitely where I get my negotiation skills from.) She gave me the biggest hug and I cried some more. I am a mother now, but in that moment, I needed my mum… and there she was.

I’ve gone on to have really delayed healing with my incision, it’s been so frustrating and really easy to feel like it’s me vs my body on this very different postpartum journey. I have my beautiful baby girl in my arms now and so important to remember what a tremendous journey my body has been on! Trying to be kind to myself, but also so hard to move forward in any way until I’m properly healed. Fingers crossed I’m on the mend now! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻💜💫 Body suit @jorgen_house #gift

In some ways it’s probably not the worst thing that she is helping me stay reasonably active. I’m still managing my Gestational Diabetes with diet - although never sure how long that will be for - I’m trying to not be too attached to the idea I can ‘control’ it and accept that if I need medication then that’s what I will do to keep me and bubba safe. Keeping moving more than I did in first pregnancy has got to be a good thing though! It’s hard to not be able to eat what I feel like - which honestly, most of the time is cake!! I miiiisssss caaaake!! And chocolate and crisps and did I mention cake??? Also top tip for anyone else preggo in this cold weather.. @seraphinematernity do this fleece lined set of thermals that I got a few weeks back when I was filming outside all day! 🎬❤️And their 3 in 1 Maternity to baby wearing parka is a faux fur lined dream that comes with an extra panel for baby wearing with a little hood. I was a big baby wearer with Isla and really hope to carry our new bubba! Swipe for frosty photo dump! 💜 #thirdtrimester #pregnancy #bump #gift

One of my fondest memories growing up was her booking a night for us at the Holiday Inn as a treat… around the corner from where we lived!!…. So we could order room service, watch cartoons in bed and use the swimming pool like the two little water babies we were - and still are! We felt like lottery winners!! I now have a deeper understanding of the very real need my mum must have had for a change of scene and to mementarily simplify life with two small children. I’m so lucky that I have been able to travel in my adult life and dreamed of doing that with my new little family in tow… but with Covid lockdowns and learning how to keep my little one safe with multiple food allergies, it was something that started to feel so out of reach… then I remembered my Mum packing us up in the car for our ‘mini-adventure’ and I thought… I can do this! Like a little homing pigeon, I drove us all back to my home town. We packed a car full of safe foods and asked the hotel to empty the mini-bar to keep our food cold. We snuck in a toaster! If all else failed, there would always be tea and toast! We had hotel room picnics, swam like little fish and fed the ducks their peas and sweet corn. I feel recharged. It was a huge win for us as a family and a change was definitely a good rest! 💞

Likes : 1401Ali Bastian - 1.4K Likes - I. Want. More. Almost sounds like dirty words doesn’t it!? More support, more strength, more balance… more me. I woke up on the morning of my 40th birthday with the dawning realisation that I had slipped down to the bottom of the ‘to do’ list. I had been invited to go and see a fab women’s health physio… and I had put it off FOR TWO WHOLE YEARS!! I messaged @martadowner @letowoman that morning and asked if it was ‘too late for me.’.. As that’s where I was at with the whole thing. Turns out it’s not! Turns out for me, it was probably just the right time… to sit down with another women and share the history of my body and the story that it’s currently telling.. of hyper mobility and injuries, of pregnancy, GD, SPD, birth and c-section, of beginning my parenting journey one week before lockdown… of my current feelings of disconnect with my tummy and soaring stress levels with the hyper-vigilance involved in raising a toddler with multiple severe allergies. What also transpired in that meeting was that I really miss dancing! I miss connecting with the energy of group exercise and the positive feelings attached to it. I came out feeling lighter, feeling seen heard and understood. YES to loving our postpartum bodies, YES to body positivity AND also a big YES to seeking out the help and support we need and deserve because there are things we don’t have to live with, healing can happen at any time and particularly for us lock down mammas who may not have gotten the help that we needed to unpack what we’ve been through, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Thank you Marta for being part of my journey back to me. I will forever be grateful. 🙏🏻💜⭐️ #collab women #womenshealth #womenshealthphysio #collaboration #gift #thankyou #postpartum #postpartumbody

Likes : 1348Ali Bastian - 1.2K Likes - Toddler life. By Ali and Isla. Want to write something poetic about getting so upset about chalk that she cried out for Mummy milk and skin on skin. That although my milk supply is low and it is all coming to an end, she cried about it but seemed happier that we tried than me saying ‘later’ and then cuddled into me and fell asleep. That today, clothes are the enemy. That she has incredible moments of independence and bravery and will do crazy mountain goat kitchen climbing. That she loves drawing and is our very own Banksy. That she doesn’t want to hold my hand when we are out walking and is settling well into nursery and that she wants to sleep on me and feed at 10pm, 12am, 2am, 4am and 6am. That I’m so completely in love and I feel like I have concussion from sleep deprivation. That I want the world for her and want to keep her safe in a bubble. Not very poetic as I’m tired today but a little window into our perfectly imperfect world 💜

Also.. won’t wear her ‘sleeping bags’ any more but will ONLY wear this one as we call her a Wizard when she wears it and have named it her ‘Abracadabra’ ⭐️ What’s the most random thing your toddler has demanded? 😂

This one is definitely a lark… she basically puts herself to bed at 6pm every night no matter what I do but is up at the crack of dawn. Isla and David are night owls and often pretty cranky in the morning - sorry @davidcomahony 🤣 and I am honestly neither… I love sleep and can go to bed early, lay in.. my optimum is about 13 hours sleep and I have a small window of operating at full capacity somewhere in the middle of the day… and yet… I SLEEP THE F***ING LEAST!!!!!!! I want to start a mum camp where we can all just get in our pyjamas and sleep and people bring us cake.

Caption : These days I’m tending to take a ‘come as you are’ approach to social media (unless it’s a throwback, in which case it’s a ‘come as you were 10 years ago’ 😂) – especially since the magical mayhem of motherhood! If I waited for it all to be perfect I’d never show up for my own life, let alone Instagram! When @youknowwhosuk invited me to team up with them I decided I wanted to take some photos feeling great in my skin! I love my new gym kit from You Know Who’s, use: ALI10 to receive 10% of your order, be quick as stock sells super quickly! …. I managed to get some make up on for these shots, couldn’t quite get my hair dried whilst toddler wrangling but went for it anyway – but in the end, there’s no where to hide! Swipe for the reality 😂 At least with my gym kit on there is an outside chance I might actually do some exercise!? … or maybe just lay on the floor in sivasana…. Either way… And breath 🧘‍♀️💜💫 PR AD #newyearsameme

Likes : 1077Ali Bastian - 1.1K Likes - Christmas Photo Dump!!! 🎄🎄🎄 We felt so incredibly lucky to be able to share Christmas with my family given the absolute hellish lottery of the Covid situation at the moment. D had one day off Panto so Christmas Day was just the three of us…. With my fam popping in and out the rest of the time and a lovely late night doorstep visit from my in-laws. ❤️ 📸 1.Christmas Eve game starting strong. 2. My mum upping the Xmas ante by putting my child in a stocking. 3. Bella (my Mum’s dog) and Isla were inseparable. 4. Christmas Morning… my little early riser discovering her new kitchen! She makes a mean ‘cup of cino’ ☕️. 5. Getting a full Xmas dinner out of the oven by 12 so we could all eat together on Isla’s schedule meant we were all still in our pyjamas and no chance to run a brush through my hair or so much as stick on an eyeliner. It was chaos … but it was our chaos ❤️ 6. … just because ❤️ . 7. Boxing Day … finally got some make up on and an ‘out fit’… David bought me a mini ring flash and I was trying to look cute… but just managed to look a bit dead eyed and weird 😂. 8. First time we ventured out of the house after living like hamsters for three days 🐹😂. 9. I LOVE this pic that my mum took and sent to me… I didn’t know it existed. It’s quite emotional to see myself looking so happy and relaxed. Isla has multiple allergies and weaning was a white knuckle ride. For a long time just setting foot in the kitchen I was on absolute red alert. This captures my baby enjoying her food and the simple joy that brings. It makes me realise how far we have come. 10. Merry Christmas ❤️🎄🌟

For a long time just setting foot in the kitchen I was on absolute red alert. This captures my baby enjoying her food and the simple joy that brings. It makes me realise how far we have come. 10. Merry Christmas ❤️🎄🌟

D had one day off Panto so Christmas Day was just the three of us…. With my fam popping in and out the rest of the time and a lovely late night doorstep visit from my in-laws. ❤️ 📸 1.Christmas Eve game starting strong. 2. My mum upping the Xmas ante by putting my child in a stocking. 3. Bella (my Mum’s dog) and Isla were inseparable. 4. Christmas Morning… my little early riser discovering her new kitchen! She makes a mean ‘cup of cino’ ☕️. 5. Getting a full Xmas dinner out of the oven by 12 so we could all eat together on Isla’s schedule meant we were all still in our pyjamas and no chance to run a brush through my hair or so much as stick on an eyeliner. It was chaos … but it was our chaos ❤️ 6. … just because ❤️ . 7. Boxing Day … finally got some make up on and an ‘out fit’… David bought me a mini ring flash and I was trying to look cute… but just managed to look a bit dead eyed and weird 😂. 8.

Navigating life and motherhood with the support of my besties @sarahjaynedunn @carleystenson1 and @jodialbert (we missed you so much 💜) I made a bit of an impromptu (French Martini induced) speech about it at lunch yesterday - but we really have shared so much and I feel so lucky to have a gang that I can literally say ANYTHING to! There is always a seat at the table for whatever is showing up for any of us and I’m so, so grateful for that. I truly believe when you put a group of women together, magic happens. Here’s to making many new memories. Happy Mother’s Day gang 💫💫💫 📸: By Stan!

Likes : 956Ali Bastian - 0.9K Likes - Hand on heart, my stress levels have been through the roof lately and I honestly think that’s why I’ve been coming down with so many bugs. My nervous system is a bit frazzled getting back out onto the world - like I’ve just emerged from some kind of cacoon! And the family and professional life juggle is real! What I’ve noticed, through my own experience and through coaching others is that as soon as I’m in a state where I’m desperately trying to find a way to create the 36 hour day or the 8 day week - that is exactly the moment I actually need to take my foot of the gas. To rest and restore and to tend to my own needs. During lockdown, I was so much better at getting out into nature and self soothing with long walks - quite frankly, apart from the domestic treadmill, there wasn’t much else to do to create routine - but now as the to-do list lengthens, I’m having to consciously decide to get out of the flat - or it just won’t happen! I’m loving @Revolutionrace for their technical clothing that doesn’t put function entirely over form! As I’m sure you all know, I LOVE colour!!! Bright colours lift my mood and make me happy. I was drawn straight away to the waterproof, wind proof coral Cyclone Jacket, perfect for skiing and all year round mountain sports AND feels great on a dogwalk with my toddler! Revolution Race’s ‘Highwaisted Bouncer Jeans’ - shower proof, figure hugging, more flattering than your average hiking gear, warmer than a legging and SIX POCKETS… enjoy!! ❤️ Use my code: ALI15 Ps. I’ve hiked two mountains in my life, Snowden and Gaustatoppen in Norway and it wasn’t in gear that looked like this! I cannot wait to breath that mountain air again, clear my head and give this kit a run out!… one of these days… 🤔💭 Use:Ali15 for 15% off code valid from 5th-7th May, cannot be combined with other offers … Enjoy!!

Likes : 933Ali Bastian - 0.9K Likes - Travelling with allergies… I was asked recently how it was for us travelling as an allergy family. Here are a few of my top tips! As always, take what you need and forget the rest! 💖🌊⭐️… I was so nervous the first time. The airline were virtually impossible to get hold of before flying and deeply unhelpful when we did manage to speak to someone. HOWEVER… every time we have flown with them we have told them at the gate and they have made an announcement on the plane. The crew and ground staff are always very kind. The seats on this particular airline are plastic and I always do a high speed wipe down including the tray and seat belt with Detox wipes or soap based @marcelsgreensoapuk wipes if I’ve got organised enough to get some! … There are no seat pockets, so no old food hidden down there… bonus! I’ve found security with carrying medication and food generally pretty good. Bit of an issue over an ice pack on the way out this time, but in the end it was ok as I have to travel with ‘safe’ food for her… enough if we get delayed… and in this weather I need to keep it cool. Won the battle in the end but also, fully prepared to chuck them if it was a prob. Carrying all allergy travel plans & action plans is a must. Keep epis and antihistamine in boxes or bottles with pescription labels. We stay at my in-laws so there is a kitchen and we mainly cook there. We’ve found loads of free-from foods in Ireland. I definitely recommend looking at @theallergyteam for amazing resources on travel and life in general with allergies. Insulated @allerpacks for keeping epis at a stable temp in hot weather are brill! It’s always nerve wracking and I don’t want to get in a false sense of security as I know s**t can always happen! But so far, our experiences have been very positive and making memories feels so worth the anxiety and extra planning that goes in to it. At the end of the day, it’s about what feels right for you and your fam! 💖💖💖✈️🌈 #travel #allergy #allergyfriendly #allergyfamily #allergytravel

Apart from a nap in a sling. That one has been universal 💤💤💤 #infantsleep #babygirl #baby #sleep So far Izzy has actually been a much more settled sleeper. One or two feeds a night and sleeping from 7ish to around 5am. Not the same every night and I know it could all change! I’d say the difference the second time is that I know how changeable it all is and that frequent night wakings are so normal. It doesn’t mean I don’t miss sleep… but I’m not expending nearly as much energy trying to change her patterns. Although, maybe that’s because we are in a rhythm that feels sustainable. If that stops being the case, I may end up being a lot more proactive! #sleep #braindump #😂

I went to an event last night for a screening of a film I shot last year and not gonna lie, I had some hefty social anxiety before hand and it certainly took me a little while to settle once I arrived - but then it felt AMAZING to be around so many young creatives and film makers that are making SHIT HAPPEN!! So exciting! I am an extrovert at heart and I think that’s another reason lockdown was so challenging… Being around other humans recharges me!! I just feel like I’ve forgotten how to do it!? Any one else feel like that?? It feels like such an internal collision of loving connection and needing it AND learning how to feel comfortable and safe in that environment again. I got some amazing hugs from some beautiful souls at the end. Wow. The power of open hearts and big hugs @danielqannoh @lilomenbaby ❤️🎥

So exciting! I am an extrovert at heart and I think that’s another reason lockdown was so challenging… Being around other humans recharges me!! I just feel like I’ve forgotten how to do it!? Any one else feel like that?? It feels like such an internal collision of loving connection and needing it AND learning how to feel comfortable and safe in that environment again. I got some amazing hugs from some beautiful souls at the end. Wow. The power of open hearts and big hugs @danielqannoh @lilomenbaby ❤️🎥

Isla went on the beach and dipped her toes in the sea for the first time and she loved it!! Magic!! 💫🌊💖. Carley thank you for the most beautiful day and for all the care you took with Isla’s allergies. You are a black belt friend! You made us feel so safe and so very, very welcome. When a friend ‘gets it’ like you do it makes such a huge difference and means Isla can play freely and I can breathe a little easier knowing that another adult also has eyes in the back of their head! I hope this is the beginning of many adventures to come!! Love you loads 💖💖💖💖💖

Likes : 781Ali Bastian - 766 Likes - It’s #csectionawarenessmonth I thought I would share my story again. The moment that changed my life forever ❤️ *We managed to get some incredible photos of Isla’s birth, courtesy of the operating theatre staff but this is one of my absolute favourites. This was moments before she was born. David is right by my side supporting me as always, but what I didn’t anticipate was that I would also have a right hand woman. Those blue gloved hands that are holding mine belong to her. Georgie, my anaesthetist. I was blown away by the kindness I experienced from all of the doctors, nurses and consultants... but this beautiful soul sticks firmly in my mind. As well as monitoring every aspect of my physical health and wellbeing, she somehow had the capacity to support me emotionally and mentally, talking me through every aspect of what was happening... Excitedly letting me know when it was nearly time to meet my baby and most memorably... holding my hand when I was scared. I was such a heady mix of excitement and anticipation... but also more nervous than I think I had ever been about anything. I had never experienced such a large medical procedure and when I arrived in the theatre, my teeth were chattering with adrenaline! My blood pressure dropped a couple of time during the op and she calmly and proficiently adjusted my sails and then held my hand to steady me. She made me laugh with her dry, razor sharp wit and showed me kindness and compassion when I cried and was overwhelmed with emotion. Thank you Georgie, I will never forget you. I’m so grateful to you and everyone at @chelwestft ... there are so many people that left such a lasting impression on me, I will definitely tell you about some of the others. I think about them all the time and pray they are keeping safe and well Xxxxx *
