As a midwife, lactation + sleep consultant; and a mum. I see so many families navigating those tough nights when little ones are congested or unwell.

Research shows that keeping humidity between 40–60% helps keep nasal passages moist, making it easier for babies to breathe during colds or dry seasons.

Many older-style vaporisers use steam or boiling water (hello burn risk + mould from excess condensation).

The Hush Ultrasonic Vaporiser uses cool mist ultrasonic technology. No heat, no noise, just fine, soothing humidity to keep the nursery comfortable for everyone.

It also comes with an essential oil that can add a gentle aroma when used safely for your baby’s age.

Safer, cleaner and designed with evidence-based principles helping your family breathe easier and sleep more comfortably.

Having a baby doesn’t mean you can’t travel.
In fact babies thrive on different sights, sounds, and experiences. New environments can help with their sensory development, from the sound of waves to the colours of a bustling market. And with the right gear like the Britax Flylite Travel Pram, you can give them safe naps on the go, shade in the sun, and comfort between adventures.

The 3-month breastfeeding “crisis” — what’s actually going on 🤪
This stage catches so many mums off guard. Suddenly your baby is fussier at the breast, feeding feels different, and you start wondering if your supply has dropped.

But here’s the truth — it’s not a crisis, and it doesn’t mean your milk is gone.

Around 3 months:
✔️ Your supply regulates (softer breasts are normal!)
✔️ Your baby is more aware and easily distracted
✔️ They become faster + more efficient feeders
✔️ And they’re likely going through a big developmental leap

It’s a LOT of change at once — for both of you.

What can help:
– Try feeding while standing or gently rocking
– Clip a toy to your bra or top
– Make eye contact, sing, or play peekaboo
– Feed in a quieter, darker space
– Or simply take a breath and try again later

This phase usually lasts a few weeks. You’re not doing anything wrong — your baby is growing, developing, and adjusting.

Save this for when you need the reminder:
Trust your body. Trust your baby. You’ve got this.

Of course if your concerned reach out to a lactation consultant, MCHN or a trusted Helath care professional 💗
