Struggling with your let-down reflex? Let’s talk. 🍼💭

Let-down is what makes milk flow — it’s a powerful reflex triggered by oxytocin (your love + connection hormone). It can feel like tingling, warmth, pressure… or sometimes, nothing at all.

For some mums, it happens instantly. For others, it’s slower or hard to notice — especially when stress, tension, or exhaustion take over.

✨ You might notice let-down kick in when:
• Your baby cries — or even when you think about them
• You’re snuggled up skin-to-skin
• You take a warm shower
• You finally get 30 seconds to relax (rare, I know 😅)

And if it feels delayed or you're not sure it's happening — you're not broken.
There are ways we can support it, together.

🎧 Soothing music
💗 Baby videos or smell of baby’s clothes
👐 Warm compress + massage
🌿 Grounding & nervous system resets

📍 I offer consults in-home, in-clinic (St James), and virtually — supporting everything from delayed let-down and milk flow to tongue ties, bottle refusal, low supply and everything in between.

You don’t need to wait for things to get worse. Bookings open now: www.matrescencenurse.com.au

Or just DM me — I’ll help you figure out what’s right for you.

"When should I reach out for breastfeeding support?"

This is one of the most common questions I’m asked — and the answer is simple:

👉 As soon as you feel unsure, overwhelmed, or in need of clarity.
Whether it’s painful feeds, latch concerns, low supply, or just wanting to check you're doing it right — early support can make a world of difference. 💛

You don’t need to wait until things get really hard.

Families often reach out for help with:
✔️ Tongue tie assessment & pre/post-release care
✔️ Painful latch or ni**le damage
✔️ Bottle refusal
✔️ Low or fluctuating supply
✔️ Breast refusal
✔️ Bottle or mixed feeding plans
✔️ Pumping & returning to work
✔️ Emotional overwhelm, validation & reassurance
✨ And everything in between.

📍Available in-home, in-clinic (St James), and via virtual consults.
✨ Bookings open now via www.matrescencenurse.com.au
Or feel free to DM — if you’re unsure where to start, I’ll help guide you gently.

Let’s make feeding feel lighter, calmer, and more supported. 🤍

Not sure what a lactation consultant actually does? You’re not alone — and that’s exactly why I’m here.

As an IBCLC, I support families in those raw, beautiful, and sometimes overwhelming early days with:

✨ Tailored feeding plans
✨ Breastfeeding education
✨ Support for babies with special needs or oral ties
✨ Emotional reassurance (because yes — your feelings matter)
✨ Practical help with latching, supply, bottle feeding & more

Whether you're breastfeeding, pumping, combo-feeding, or navigating something more complex — you're never expected to figure it out alone. 💫

📲 Bookings can be made directly via www.matrescencenurse.com.au
Or — if you're not sure where to start, please feel free to reach out for a chat. I'm here to listen, guide, and support you every step of the way.

Breastfeeding is natural... but that doesn’t mean it’s always easy.

If feeds feel like a battle, your baby never seems settled, or you’re wondering “is this normal?”—you’re not alone.

Here are 3 things I see all the time in my work with new families. They’re super common—but that doesn’t mean you just have to put up with them 👇

You deserve to feel confident, informed and supported in your journey. And you don’t need to figure it out alone!

💛 I offer gentle, 1:1 in-home support across Perth for feeding challenges, oral function concerns, latch issues, and everything in between.

📲 Book via www.matrescencenurse.com.au—let’s make feeding feel better.

🌸 Why Breastfeeding Positions Matter

Breastfeeding is a beautiful and intimate experience, but did you know that the right position can make a big difference for both you and your baby? 🤱✨ Finding the right position helps with latch, comfort, and even preventing common issues like ni**le pain. Here are six positions to try:

💖 1. The Cradle Hold
This classic position allows your baby’s body to be close to yours, with their head resting in the crook of your arm. It’s a go-to for many mums, especially in the early days.

💖 2. The Cross-Cradle Hold
Perfect for those needing more control over the latch. Hold your baby with the opposite arm (from the breast you’re feeding on) to gently guide their head to your breast.

💖 3. The Football Hold
This one’s great for mums with larger breasts or after a C-section. Baby’s body tucks under your arm like a football while they latch, keeping them close and supported.

💖 4. The Side-Lying Position
In this position, you lie on your side while your baby lies on their back beside you, turning their head to latch onto the breast. It’s perfect for night feeds and can help both of you get some rest.

💖 5. The Laid-Back Hold (Biological Nurturing)
In this natural position, you lean back comfortably while your baby lies on top of you. It’s a great option for helping babies latch instinctively and can be soothing for both of you.

💖 6. The Upright or ‘Koala’ Hold
For babies who are more alert or have reflux, this position allows them to sit upright with their head resting at your breast, giving gravity a helping hand.

💚 Remember: Every baby and Mum is different. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different positions to find the one that works best for you both. Comfort is key for successful breastfeeding!

🌟 Understanding and Overcoming Common Breastfeeding Challenges 🤱

💕 Breastfeeding is a beautiful journey, but it comes with its share of challenges. 🤔 Let's talk about some common ones and how we can overcome them together:

1. Latch Issues: Getting a good latch can be tricky! Achieving a proper latch is not instinctual but a learned behaviour for both Mum and baby! It's about finding the right positioning and technique to ensure effective milk transfer and comfort.

2. Engorgement: Many Mums experience engorgement, a discomfort caused by overfilled breasts. Combat it with warm compresses, gentle massage, and regular nursing or pumping to relieve pressure and maintain milk supply.

3. Low Milk Supply: This concern is common and can be managed. Stay hydrated, maintain a balanced diet, and consider using a breast pump after feedings to stimulate milk production.

4. Sore Ni***es: Soreness is a typical early challenge. Use lanolin cream and ensure a proper latch to minimise discomfort and promote healing.

5. Time Management: Breastfeeding demands time and dedication. Each feeding session fosters your baby's health and bonding. Prioritise self-care and seek support from loved ones to manage this rewarding journey.

Remember, every breastfeeding journey is unique, and it's okay to seek support. At The Matrescence Nurse, we are dedicated to supporting you through every step of your breastfeeding journey. Our expert guidance and personalised care ensure that you and your baby receive the highest level of support and comfort. We are here to support you through this journey, reach out to learn about our services and how we can support you🌟💖
