Your breasts go through rapid changes during pregnancy and postpartum, which means your bra can directly impact comfort and lactation.
As a midwife and lactation consultant, these are the key features I look for in a maternity sports bra 👇

✔ Support without compression to reduce discomfort and clogged ducts
✔ Wide, soft adjustable straps and a comfortable band to distribute weight and protect shoulders
✔ Easy one-hand breastfeeding access for frequent feeds
✔ Breathable, stretchy fabric for leaks, heat, and all-day wear

A well-fitting bra should support you without squeezing.
When it feels good on your body, it supports your breastfeeding journey too 🤍

This is the beautiful maternity sports bra and shorts. I'm wearing a size Medium in both bra and shorts 🙌🏼💗

Save this for later 🥰

Sleeping position in pregnancy is something we talk about a lot as midwives!
From 28 weeks of pregnancy, Australian guidelines recommend going to sleep on your side. Left or right to support healthy blood flow to your baby and placenta.
Being well supported (hello pregnancy pillow) can make side-sleeping more comfortable and help you stay in this position overnight.
And if you wake up on your back? No stress, simply roll back onto your side and go back to sleep.

As always; always consult with your healthcare provider.

Happy sleeping 🙌🏼💗

Let’s chat sleep consults 💗 because I thought it was important the right families come to me. There are may different types of sleep consultants out there and I am definitely not a routine sleep consultant. I like to be able to navigate sleep flexible during the day. As this is what suits my life style.
So if this aligns with you reach out! If not I would see someone else 💗

Families deserve to be supported however they choose 💗

The newborn days for some can feel like it will be forever. But let me tell you, hang in there. It gets better. Better then you could ever imagine 💗🥰

Temperature and babies sleep, we hear about it all the time 🙃Overheating may cause restlessness and frequent wakes typically early in the night, while being too cold can lead to early-morning wake-ups when body temperature naturally drops. Using a tog sleep sack suited to your room temperature can help keep your baby comfortable throughout the night and support more settled sleep.

We love the sleep sack and temperature guide to help us decide what to wear to bed 🙌🏼

Always follow guidelines for infant sleep.

What a year it’s been 🙌🏼
To my partner, family, friends, clients and the incredible brands who support me, this little business truly wouldn’t exist without you 💗
Every like, comment, share and message means more than you know, and I see and appreciate every single one.

And to top it all off, welcoming Miss Pia into the world and becoming a mum myself has been my greatest chapter yet. Watching her grow each day is my absolute joy.

Thank you all! I can’t wait to see what 2026 has in store!
Let's do this 🙌🏼 ✨

Sleeping on your side from 28 weeks of pregnancy is safest for your baby. Side sleeping helps support healthy blood flow and oxygen to your baby.

If you wake up on your back, don’t panic just roll back onto your side.

What position do you love to sleep in?

This is the pillow 🙌🏼

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.
