Haven is officially heading out on maternity leave!

Thank you to everyone for the continued support so far in 2026, we feel so grateful that we have been able to share our knowledge and expertise with you all to meet your breastfeeding and feeding goals during such a vulnerable time.

It’s our turn now to fully immerse ourselves into motherhood. We will aim to be back approximately the end of 2026, however we will keep you updated! Expect to see Haven posts continue in this time to keep you all up to date on evidence based practice and information regarding all things feeding!

Love Nicole and Sam💚

Breastfeeding is a team effort. While only one parent may be feeding, the support of a loved one can make all the difference.

Here are simple, powerful ways your support people can help during the breastfeeding journey:

Hold space - be present, calm, and patient during feeds. Your quiet support speaks volumes.
Nourish - bring snacks, fill the water bottle, prepare a warm meal.
Take over care tasks - burping, change nappies, settle baby to sleep.
Be informed - learn about breastfeeding. Understand the challenges, the rhythms, the wins.
Offer encouragement - tell them they’re doing an amazing job, especially on the hard days.

Support people are not on the sidelines, they’re part of the team. Because when a family feels support, better outcomes follow!

2025 was a huge year for Haven! We want to thank each and every one of our clients for trusting in us and supporting our business. Every like, visit, share, word of mouth referral and kind word has meant the world!

Not only was it a huge year for Haven but for the both of us privately as well. The year we both conceived and began growing our own little miracles! So surreal to experiencing this journey alongside one another 💫

So what does this mean for 2026?
Our books are currently still open however there will be approximately a 6 month window where they will close whilst we navigate motherhood! We will keep you all up to date as to when we each officially go on maternity leave but for now if you need any feeding support we are here to help 💚

Evidence based practice shows us that skin to skin:

- Helps baby to find the breast more easily
- Regulates baby’s breathing, heart rate and temperature
- Boosts milk supply by increasing oxytocin (the love hormone)!
- Supports baby’s brain development
- Reduces crying and helps both of you rest

World Prematurity Day is celebrated every November 17th as a day to raise awareness of the challenges faced by premature babies.

Here are some ways you can protect breastfeeding with a preterm baby:

1. Start expressing early - ideally within the first 6 hours after birth
2. Express frequently - 8-10 times a day to build a supply
3. Practice skin to skin whenever possible
4. Get support - from a lactation consultant familiar with premature baby and family needs

Breastfeeding premature babies can be overwhelming, but with support and guidance, better outcomes are possible.

The Milk Ejection Reflex (MER) is an important part of breastfeeding. Everyone will experience MER signs differently such as tingly in the breast, breastmilk leaking from the opposite breast, or feeling of thirst. Sometimes you may not experience anything which can be completely normal!

You will observe a change in your baby’s sucking pattern when the breastmilk begins to flow once the MER has occurred.

There are times where MER is delayed or milk flow is slowed. Contributing factors may include being in pain, shallow attachment, stressed, fatigue, anxious/fear of breastfeeding in public.

Through thorough assessment, an IBCLC will determine whether the MER is occurring, if it’s effective or if there are any factors contributing to a delayed, painful or overactive MER.

Lactation support may be covered by your private health insurance!

Did you know that some private health insurance policies offer rebates for visits with an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC)?

Coverage depends on your insurer and level of extras, so it’s always worth checking directly with your provider.

Some insurers require a provider number for rebates and others only require a paid invoice for the service.

At Haven, we encourage families to explore their options — every little bit helps when it comes to accessing the care you deserve.

While IBCLC services aren’t currently covered by Medicare, you might be eligible for a rebate through your private health fund.

Need help navigating it? We're happy to point you in the right direction.
