To every mum who is exhausted, overwhelmed and wondering if she's doing enough
You are!!!
Some days are messed up.
Some feeds are hard.
Some nights are long. Very long
And that's okay.
We see you and all that you're doing
You don't have to have it all figured out.
You don't have to do it alone
And I'm always here if you ever need support with your feeding journey.

One of the most common concerns I hear from breastfeeding mums is about their milk supply.

When I’m supporting a new mum and bub, these are a few of the things I look at to help reassure me that feeding is going well - which you could check too
- nappy outputs,
- weight gains,
- baby's feeding patterns,
- how baby is latched and sucking at the breast,
- how content baby is

If you’re worried about your milk supply or feeding just isn’t feeling right, you're always welcome to reach out for some extra support

Sometimes, its just a tweak here and there plus a bit of reassurance that can make all the difference

Save this post as a handy reminder of the signs your little one is getting enough milk

Did you ever worry about milk supply with your baby? Comment below what helped reassure you?⬇️

Struggling with breastfeeding, pumping, or combination feeding? You’re not alone.

Hi, I’m Tracey, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) at The Lactation Coach.

I have over 30 years’ experience supporting mums and bubs through pregnancy and the postnatal period, and I’m here to support you through your breastfeeding journey.

I’m passionate about supporting rural and regional families and offer home consults in the Canberra - Goulburn - Braidwood and surrounding rural areas, as well as online consultations for families anywhere in Australia.

I support families with pain or latch issues, supply concerns, feeding challenges, questions about pumping, combination feeding, returning to work and weaning.

I also offer antenatal education to help prepare you for those early weeks once bub has arrived

I work with you in an evidence-based, supportive way towards your goals and needs.
Whether things are going smoothly or you’re struggling and need reassurance, you don’t have to do this alone

Feel free to comment below or send me a DM — I’m always happy to chat.

In hot weather, breastfed babies don't require extra fluids unless for medically advised..
Your breastmilk already has a high water content.

At the start of a feed, your milk contains more water - so your little one may have short frequent drinks for hydration rather than a full feed for energy and fullness

Short 'snack' feeding, comfort feeding and night feeding are all common in hot weather.

Seek support if you're unsure or have any concerns

Mums - what helped you feed or soothe your little one during the hot weather?
Share your tips in the comments below, as another mum might really appreciate it ⬇️

🎅We didnt end up running this topic at our last catch up so I will offer it again this week🎄

This week we’re talking about family traditions - the ones you and your partner grew up with, the ones you want to continue and blend, and the new traditions you’re excited to create as your own.🎅

It may take a little compromise as you explore each other's traditions but it can be a great way to welcome the best parts of both families and shape it is to something special for your own little family 🎄

Come along and share your stories and ideas with the group

All expectant mums and mums with bubs under 12 months are more than welcome. First catchup is free.
