What do you get when a midwife/IBCLC, perinatal counsellor, sleep OT and a naturopath all meet up in a bar?

An absolute emotional riot of a night out, tears of all sorts, karaoke night planning and lots of laughs.. of course!

✨ "Everyone told me it would be hard… but what if it’s not?"
A quiet thought from a new parent

Before my baby arrived, the warnings were endless:

“Say goodbye to sleep!” 😵‍💫
“You’ll never have a minute to yourself!”
“Just wait… the newborn phase is brutal.” 😬

But now that my baby is here?
Yes, I’m tired. Yes, there are tricky moments.
But mostly… I feel calm. Grateful. In love. 🧡

There are cuddles.
Slow mornings.
That delicious baby smell.
The world feels softer.
And somehow, so do I.

And honestly… now I’m wondering:
Am I missing something?
Is it supposed to feel harder than this?
Is something wrong with me?

But maybe… this is just what happens when we go at our own pace,
trust our instincts,
and feel supported. 💫

Not all newborn experiences are chaos.
Sometimes they’re peaceful, slow, and full of wonder.
And that’s okay, too.

💛 To the parents quietly thriving—you’re not doing it wrong.

🍼 Choosing the Right Bottle for Top-Ups? Here’s What Matters Most!

A midwife recently asked us: "What's the best bottle for breastfeeding babies needing top-ups?"

💡 Truth bomb: No bottle is truly like the breast, despite ads claiming “closest to nature”. What really matters is flow rate and teat shape.

Here’s what to look for:

✅ Slow flow – You want baby to work for the milk, just like they would at the breast. If milk drips out quickly when the bottle is upside down, it’s too fast.

✅ Narrow neck + long teat – This better mimics the way a ni**le reaches to the back of baby’s mouth, encouraging proper latch and oral development.

🧴 Pigeon bottles (narrow neck, slow flow) are a long-time favourite, but beware: some of the current ones are flowing a bit too fast. Always test before feeding!

👶 Especially if supply is low, or baby is learning to breastfeed, using a very slow-flow bottle helps support both feeding and milk production.

📌 Bottom line: Whatever brand you use, make sure you control the flow—not the bottle!
