Research shows that Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) levels in breast milk are higher among coastal populations compared to inland populations, directly linked to increased fish and marine food consumption.

DHA is a nutrient crucial for infant brain and eye development, making maternal diet an important discussion point for breastfeeding support, especially for parents living inland, where DHA intake may be lower and supplementation or dietary guidance can make a meaningful difference (Aumeistere, Ciproviča, Zavadska, & Volkovs, 2018).

Such wise words from one of my favourites in this space, a Paediatrician and leading breastfeeding expert.

Ni**le Care 101

Healing sore ni***es during breastfeeding isn’t about using more products, it’s about creating the right environments.

✨ Air dry first. Constant moisture from breast pads, clothing and products can slow and even prevent healing. Giving your ni***es time to air dry helps the skin repair.

✨ Then go to a moist wound environment. Apply a small amount of Ni**le Butter (and expressed breastmilk) to create a soothing, protective barrier. Our organic herbs and nourishing oils, soothe and protect the skin between feeds.

It’s balance that makes the difference.

One breast leaking more than the other?

Today I reassured a Package client of mine worried about her milk supply on her “non leaking” side. A fairly common (and unnecessary) stress for new mothers.

Your breasts function independently; one may have more glandular tissue, greater storage capacity, different milk duct density, or simply be your baby’s preferred side. All of these can mean one leaks more… or one (sometimes both) doesn’t leak at all.

Today I took myself out for lunch to celebrate filling each spot in this year’s Midwife Entrepreneur Mentorship 🥳

I’m so excited to mentor another cohort of heart led Midwives, LCs, RNs & Doulas as we begin 12 weeks of building aligned, profitable, deeply impactful private practices.

These are women brave enough to create their own path. No longer willing to simply work within restrictive hospital systems, but who are stepping outside the mainstream to practice evidence-based care with integrity and truly set families up to succeed at breastfeeding. How inspiring is that… 🔥

And to those who didn’t sign up this year, if this is on your heart, your time will come AND I cannot wait for you to join us and the 662movement.

If you’re not already on my mailing list, dm or comment EMAIL below to stay in the loop for future Mentorship intakes 🤍

The only question is, will you be inside the Mentorship or watching from the sidelines?

The right people move before they feel 100% ready.

Comment or dm MENTORSHIP to learn more or register.

We kick off March 2.

Midwives, LCs and Doulas, your breastfeeding focused private practice sits on the other side of this Mentorship 💫
