🏠 Just over 2 months until my Maternity Leave comes to an end. It has been absolute bliss spending time with my family and watching my little ones grow and thrive.

📖 I am in the process of planning how my schedule will look now that I am a Mum of 2, and how I can best serve clients and the community.

🤱🏻 Keep an eye out for my online booking system reopening mid-May, with appointments (Home Visits and Telehealth) from 1st June 2026.

💜 This weekend we started solids! 💜 We are almost 6 months old and have been showing signs of readiness for the last couple of weeks.

Signs of readiness:
🪑 Able to sit with minimal support
🍅 Able to control head lift well when sitting (even if supported sitting - for about 15 mins/length of meal).
🍴 Reaching and grabbing for / showing interest in family foods.

🥩 Our set-up includes:

💦 An easy to wipe/hose chair (we got this IKEA high chair off Marketplace)
🌳 Wipeable cushion insert - for that extra stability until she grows a bit bigger for the chair
🦶 Footrest - having foot support creates a stable base and lets your child feel more secure and able to concentrate on their meal.

🍌 So far we have tried Banana, and Steak (pictured), as well as some small sips from a medicine cup of filtered water with the meal.

🥦 We are doing a combination of purée/mash and Baby Led Weaning, starting with one small meal a day and working towards 3 meals by 12 months.

🤱🏻 We have a breastfeed first, then have our solids within our awake time, aiming for a mid-morning/lunch meal depending on what’s happening for the day.

🪻🪻🪻 Rebranding Rainbow Road Lactation 🪻🪻🪻

🪻Maternity Leave has given me the opportunity to reflect and set new intentions and goals for my practice.

🪻A new look is part of it, but I’m also focusing on the ways I can better serve the community and families I care for.

🪻If you have any feedback or ideas, feel free to comment, send me a message or email (link in bio).

It’s been 6 weeks since we welcomed our baby girl into our family ❤️

I thought I’d share my birth story, because it can sometimes be tricky to find positive stories about induction of labour. Sorry it’s about 10 mins 😂 so scroll on if you aren’t keen!

I am so grateful to have had continuity of care throughout my pregnancy, birth and beyond with ❤️Kaitlin, Bela and Dr Kelly - thank you so much!!!!

And all the midwives and support staff were fabulous too ❤️ as well as my midwifery student Amelia from UQ.

And I highly recommend hiring a Tens Machine from ❤️

Highlight of my day was getting our family photos back from 💜💜💜

Sarah is brilliant. We were all a bit out of sorts that morning, but she managed to get gorgeous shots of our little family of 4, even amongst the big feelings!

🤱🏻Breastfeeding Update for Baby E and I 💕

Cluster fed on Day 1 and brought my milk in by the evening of Day 2.

She was quite tight in her jaw and neck after birth so I did end up with some ni**le damage (now healed with tissue donut and ni**le balm between feeds) as well as massaging the cheeks and jaw.

Feeds are a combo of side-lying and upright positioning - whatever is more comfortable for E and I at the time.

She takes in a huge amount of air during feeds despite all my tricks and performing oral exercises, massage and stretching for body tension. We are burping every feed as well.

I do have a very generous supply so I’m only expressing enough for a bottle feed every few days - no more than that as I don’t want to create an over supply. Bottle feeding hasn’t started yet, but the intention is a few bottles per week to maintain the skill for when I need to leave E with others.

Otherwise she is growing beautifully - had a 4% initial loss but was back above birthweight by day 5 and doing mustard stools on day 3.

Our next steps are to keep up with the exercises we have been doing, have some bodywork with and see the beautiful Katie next week for a second opinion on tongue function - my eldest had a very obvious Tongue Tie, however this one is not so obvious 🥲😬

Overall enjoying the newborn bubble, especially seeing my eldest become a big brother ❤️

She’s here 🩷

“I can do hard things” was my mantra and I don’t think I ever truly believed that I could until yesterday morning. 💕

I’ll post more about her speedy and intense birth soon - but I do want to give a HUGE shoutout to my AMAZING birth team from I absolutely could not have done it without you - Bela, Kaitlin, my student Amelia and Dr Kelly. And my no.1 cheerleader Callum 🩷

Feeling incredibly grateful to have been surrounded by supportive midwives and beautiful souls as this little lady made her way into the world 💕

As part of my postpartum preparation, I outsourced cleaning our home. I’ve had a really hard time keeping on top of cleaning with HG, so I booked a Full Nest package with Amber from

She did a beautiful job, and even provided a beautiful little gift pack with lots of little treats that are perfect for pregnancy and beyond. I highly recommend treating yourself to one of her cleaning packages - you won’t regret it!

*This is not an ad, I paid full price for this service and love supporting local small businesses*

35+3 today and Prepping for Postpartum - last time I didn’t do any meal prep and I regretted it.

So far Lasagne and Curried Sausages are on the menu. Nothing too fancy - just the basics (including bottled pasta sauce).

I’m mindful this little lady might take after her big brother (he had a CMPA/Soy allergy - grew out of by about 18mo-2yo), so I’ll make sure I have some allergy friendly meals on hand.

What did you do to prepare for postpartum?

Is there anything you’d wished you had done / would do differently next time?

Do you have any favourite recipes?

I’m keen to hear all the tips and tricks 🤰🏻❤️🤱🏻

Update ❤️

Regretfully due to the ongoing challenges of having HG, I’ve needed to close my books to New Clients earlier than anticipated.

Over the next 4 weeks I will be focusing on providing my current clients with the best care possible and making a plan forward for transitioning to the care of other IBCLCs as needed.

Thank you all for your ongoing support ❤️
