What a deadly day we had last Thursday celebrating BiOC North Breastfeeding Week at Kruger Hall in Kallangur!

We were so honoured to have Aunty Patricia open the event with a beautiful yarn, creating space for us to share our powerful and personal breastfeeding stories. It was a time of connection, laughter, and deep respect.

Our incredible staff organised the morning for our beautiful families, and we were surrounded by strong breastfeeding mums - it truly felt like community. 💕

We kept our tummies happy with some healthy goodies, including:

🥥 Protein balls
🧁 Susu cupcakes
🍇 Fresh fruit platters

And let’s not forget the photo booth fun - so many smiles and memories captured! Thanks to the lovely Caity, our beautiful photographer who made this happen. 📸✨

Afterwards, the kids had a blast outside at the nearby playground, giving everyone time to relax and connect in the sunshine.

A huge thank you to everyone who came and made the day so special. Let’s keep celebrating and supporting our mums and bubs - stronger together. 🌿💪
