Just a quick update as we all wait out the storm. Whilst I have had to pause home visiting over the next couple of days to keep everyone safe, I will still be providing telehealth breastfeeding support over the weekend (as long as we have internet and power). Feel free to reach out if you’re needing a hand.
Stay safe everyone and snuggle your babes 💕

Hello and Happy New Year!

It was a busy end of year for me and I’ve been a bit slack with updating socials. Reflecting on 2024, I’ve had the pleasure of visiting many families over the year, meeting beautiful new babies and supporting families to achieve their feeding goals. Surely this is the best job in the world?

I will be continuing on in 2025 and aiming to have even more availability to visit families this year. So if you’re needing help preparing for your new babe or navigating breastfeeding challenges this year, reach out. I’d love to chat with you!

Did you know that in Australia you can donate any extra breastmilk you may have stored to babies who are born prematurely or unwell?

Breastmilk is important for all babies but not all mothers are able to provide their babies with breastmilk. This can be due to a number of reasons such as illness, prematurity, medications and surgeries.

Donor milk is especially helpful for premature babies who have immature organs, in the prevention of Necrotising Enterocolitis (NEC).

I have been lucky enough to experience breast milk donation from multiple perspectives: as a donor, working within a breastmilk bank and in NICU providing breastmilk to babies in need. Donated breastmilk is a precious resource.

If you’re living in Brisbane, Sydney or Adelaide, and you have extra breastmilk, you might be an eligible donor for the Australia Red Cross Lifeblood Milk Bank. You can find out more and check for eligibility here:

Happy World Breastfeeding Week!

Each year, the World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action (WABA) chooses a new focus topic to help raise awareness and better breastfeeding outcomes for families. In 2023, the theme is:

Enabling Breastfeeding: Making a difference for working parents.

Over the next few days, I’ll share some information about why supporting breastfeeding in working parents is important and how we can help. The link below is an interesting snapshot comparison of how Australia and our neighbouring countries protect breastfeeding rights at work.

Breastfeeding can be MESSY!

During a chat yesterday, I was asked if it’s normal for milk to spray from your breasts when baby unlatches. Yes, it absolutely can be normal. During the Milk Ejection Reflex, milk can forcefully spray from the breast in multiple streams, sometimes up to 5 metres across the room!

If you notice that Bub often unlatches during a letdown or coughs and splitters while feeding, it may be that you have a fast flow.

The cooler weather is here 🌧️

As cold and flu season approaches, I thought it was time for a little reminder. Breastmilk is a living substance which adapts to your babies needs. It is the perfect food for your baby when you are unwell. In sickness, it is packed full of nutrients and antibodies to help your baby fight off any germs and recover quickly.

If you’re feeling under the weather, please know that your milk is not bad and that you do not need to refrain from breastfeeding or giving your baby breastmilk until you are well again.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the awesome Mama’s out there, especially those celebrating their first Mother’s Day. Being someone’s Mum is not always easy but it is worth it. 🌻🌻🌻

Cool fact:
Babies can recognise their mother’s unique smell. They can also recognise the unique smell of their mothers breastmilk.

One study looking at reducing pain in babies found that while smelling any breastmilk helped, smelling their own mother’s breastmilk was more effective.

For those of you that want to know me, check out these interesting studies on the subject:

Happy International Day of the Midwife!
I am so proud to be a Midwife and to know many wonderful Midwives who support women and families in some of their most vulnerable moments in life.

The theme for this year is Together Again: From evidence to reality. I am always interested in how new evidence supports our practices. In particular, how we use this information to understand what birthing women experience and know intuitively during pregnancy, birth and parenthood.

You can read more about it here:

Breastmilk contains the hormones prolactin and oxytocin, which can help both mother and baby relax and fall asleep.

Cholecystokinin is a hormone that is released by the baby during feeding and is associated with feelings of fullness and satiety. Suckling and feeding promotes the release of cholecystokinin, which in turn may help baby’s feel more satisfied.

When a baby breastfeeds to sleep, the release of these all of these hormones can contribute to a more restful and peaceful sleep for both the baby and mother.
