Let's talk breastfeeding and postnatal depression 💛

Some find breastfeeding helps their mental wellbeing. Others feel it may be too much during an already vulnerable time. And for many, it’s a mix of both.

In this article, we explore the complex relationship between breastfeeding and postnatal depression.

Learning a new skill for the first time can be daunting without specialised training right .
Breastfeeding is an art … a discovery for the newborn infant and the newborn mother .Together they learn the dance of life and will thrive with support .
At A Mothers Journey we believe its essential to celebrate each little step in your breastfeeding journey as a huge step in motherhood .
40 days after birth is a huge milestone in your body’s ability to heal from the birth and pregnancy AND BREASTFEED YOUR BABY WELL .

Hello everyone. What a day! And today I've changed the name of not only this page but my business as well. Due to the range of services I offer to mothers, fathers, the family, and most importantly the little bub, my new business name is "A Mother's Journey."

Let me reassure everyone, nothing has changed with the services I offer at a Mother’s Journey. I will continue to empower, listen, and educate women, their partners, and their families throughout their journey at one of the most exciting and joyful times of a woman’s life. My vision is to bring empowerment through education relating to the physiology of normal labour birth and lactation and conscious parenthood for all mothers and fathers and/or their partners.

To find out more about me and my services, call me today on 0449 948 279 or email: info@amothersjourney.au or better still, go check out my new website: https://amothersjourney.au/

AWSOME GROUP OF LACTATING LADIES SHARING THEIR BREASTMILK TO BABIES OTHER THEIR OWN -NO COST INVOLVED !! EXCEPT SUPPLYING MILKBAGS TO THE DONATING MOTHER …….KEEP UP YOUR GREAT WORK !!
JULIE BOSWOOD IBCLC & BIRTH & POSTNATAL DOULA

At HM4HB our spaces are not "women-centered" spaces. They're baby-centered spaces. Our goal is feeding babies. Changing our language doesn’t take anything away from anyone. It simply gives more to more people, broadens our community, and makes for more matches in milk sharing.

Human Milk 4 Human Babies - Queensland Admins actively enforce unnecessarily gendering content, because doing so is setting an unfair criteria against a protected characteristic. You're not looking to help a "mama in need." You're looking to feed a baby in need. You're not looking for milk from a "mama who..." You're looking for milk from a donor. Adjusting our language is a small change that can mean the world of difference to our LGBTQ+ members, whilst improving access to more milk for more babies.

We have families of all walks of life, in so many different combinations of caregivers, whether they're parents, guardians, custodial relatives, etc. But we also have trans and nonbinary bio parents. Donors who are not women. Gestational parents who are not "mums." Not all people seeking donor milk are women - single dads, gay dads, dads who are actively involved in the care and feeding of their babies are praised for being in our spaces. Guardians and foster parents too. How you choose to refer to yourself is precisely what we are protecting here. You are most welcome to refer to yourself in gendered language that you personally identify with. But doing so to address others is ignoring another subset of our community here who encounter more barriers to milk-sharing.

We will decline group post submissions that exclude some of our members (whether or not that was the OP’s intentions) whom we value and deserve to be seen and addressed here.

For those who cannot and will not learn and grow with us, understand that any limitations from that are self-imposed. Your freedom to make that choice and engage elsewhere without ever knowing the barriers minority groups continue to face in milk-sharing is also your privilege. Any attempt made to ridicule those members, our admins, and our guidelines, whether that be in comments or reactions, will result in an immediate block & ban without warning. In the context of milksharing personal opinions are no justification for that behaviour on our platforms and we are never obligated to give anyone a warning on this.

So important to keep our babies safe !

🚗 TAKING A ROAD TRIP THESE HOLIDAYS? 🚙 Are you sure your precious children are travelling safely? BE SURE!
There’s not many days until the jolly fat man in red arrives. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU HAD YOU CHILD’S CAR SAFETY SEAT CHECKED?

Statistics say that 80% of child car restraints are incorrectly installed, incorrectly used or incorrectly fitted to the child... As a CPST whose been in thousands of local cars, I DISAGREE with these stats... I say IT SHOULD BE MUCH HIGHER. This is a serious this situation!

Absolute Baby Shop Rockhampton offers a on-site, under cover car safety seat install services. Whether you’re expecting your newborn or moving your child into the next type of car seat, I can help ensure your child is travelling safely and more importantly, you’ll leave equipped with the skills and knowledge to keep your child traveling safely long after the initial install appointment.

💪🏼 Install: I will check over your child car safety seat, adjust the car safety seat to fit your child, install the car seat into your vehicle, provide instructions on how best to use the car seat, what to adjust and when, give you the option to ask questions and supply a Daily and Weekly check list so you can monitor and maintain the install.

🔎 Check: If you’ve installed the car safety seat, I can complete a 19-point check to ensure it is suited to your vehicle, fitted to your child and is installed safely (from here I can offer advice to improve the install or I can professionally install the safety seat and walk you through it.)

Bookings for car seat installs & checks preferred -so you don’t have to wait (but I won’t turn you away if you don’t book 😉) www.calendly.com/absolutebaby

Stay safe out there,
~ Bec
