A woman reveals an unorthodox way of running her business from the cradle of a baby

A mum-of-four has revealed how she multi-tasks looking after her brood and running her online business.

Hannah Polites, one of the Gold Coast’s first Insta-famous girls in the mid-2010s, shared a black-and-white photo taken on her high-tech baby monitor on her Instagram Stories.

In the photo, Hannah is seen snuggling around her young son in the crib.

Her one-year-old daughter, Alaska, appears to be wearing a matching jumpsuit and is sleeping with her hand tucked into her mother’s chest.

Meanwhile, the 33-year-old works on her phone from the fetal position, her head touching one end of the boy’s bed and her toes pressing against the other.

“How I answer your @babyccino queries,” she captioned it with a laughing and crying emoji and a pink love heart.

‘The juggling is real’.

Gold Coast influencer Hannah Polites has revealed how she multi-tasks looking after her brood and running her online business.

As well as Alaska, Hannah is also raising Evaliah, seven, Arlo, five, and Oakleigh, three.

The fitness influencer once traveled the world and lived a “grammable” life of luxury thanks to lucrative brand deals and sponsored posts.

These days, Hannah still makes a comfortable living with her sizable online following of a million and a baby clothing store, Babyccinobear.

The website markets “traditional” baby and children’s clothing and themed family pajama sets and memorabilia.

She lives with her husband Garth Small and four young children in a large family mansion in her native Queensland.

Polites was one of the first truly Insta-famous girls in the mid-2010s and is now a mummy influencer.

Hannah became insta-famous at the age of 26 after posting some photos of herself on the social media app while thinking it was just a photo editing tool.

Working for Lorna Jane at the time, her images became “inspirational” to some and were reposted on the internet, leading her to blog and share her life and fitness tips.

The mummy and midwife influencer once boasted over 1.5 million Instagram followers.

Hannah was internationally known for her blonde hair, tanned skin and bikini body and appeared in Women’s Health and Cosmopolitan magazines on several occasions.

However, she lost hundreds of thousands of her (mostly male) followers shortly after the birth of her first child, Evalia, in 2016.

She was forced to take a hard turn with her online brand and also attracted countless headlines with her bikini breastfeeding photos and reports of how she “transformed” her post-pregnancy body.

Her impeccably curated Instagram feed has all the hallmarks of a millennial social media star: professional photography, swimsuit selfies, and happy family photos.

John and Lee-Ann Polites, who are parents to Hannah and her bodybuilder brother Aaron Polites, put their Gold Coast mansion up for sale last April.

They had lived at the beachfront property in the Sovereign Islands for more than 13 years and hosted several lavish events in the five-bedroom, four-bathroom home.

According to the Gold Coast Bulletin, the property was listed for $5.95 million.

The remarkable home, which was purchased by John and Lee-Ann for $1.44 million in 2010, sits on a 1,000 square meter lot.

After renovating the space in 2019, the home boasts incredible entertainment areas including an ‘Italian room’ with a teppanyaki kitchen, an oceanfront champagne bar and a cinema room complete with eight leather armchairs.
