Can you help this great organisation that supports our community? If you can please reach out.

A huge thank you to Rowan for generously donating these much-needed car seats to Loved & Shared. Support like this helps us continue getting essential items into the hands of local families who need them most — we are so grateful! 🙌

We are still in desperate need of rear-facing car seats.
Our volunteers would love to see some come through the warehouse so we can clean, safety check and gift them to families with new born children.
If you have a rear-facing car seat (8 years old or newer) you no longer need, please consider donating — it truly makes a difference. 💛

Visit our warehouse or book a time here to donate - https://lovedandshared.org.au/book-now/

Have you considered either Prenatal Preparation for Breastfeeding one on one class or a Pre & Postnatal Bundle? Feedback from previous clients indicate that they feel so prepared for the arrival of their little one knowing what to expect, what is considered to be normal and when to seek support. Reach out if you’d like more info, happy to have a no obligation chat. Know someone expecting a baby? Share this with them.

A huge thank you for your support in 2025. Supporting me also supports my family, allows me flexibility in my work and gives the very best job satisfaction I have ever had in my almost 30 year healthcare career. I won’t say I am lucky as I’ve worked damn hard, but what I am is so extremely grateful I get to call this my job. I remember reading a stat that a lot of small business fold within the 1st 3 years, well I’ve made it with your help. Looking forward to great things in 2026 and beyond.

Thank you so much to all the beautiful families I have supported throughout 2025.
Also to the people that recommend my service and send referrals. Almost 4 years in Private Practice!

As 2025 comes to close, I would like to express my thanks to the all of the families I have had the honour of getting to know this year. These are just some of the many. In March 2026, I hit the 4 year milestone in private practice. Each year has seen steady growth. Word of mouth, referrals and now some return clients mean the world to me. I have said it many times, but this job truly is my dream. I am so blessed to be welcomed so warmly into your homes and have you trust me with your care. If this is your little one’s very 1st Christmas , I hope you make memories to cherish. A big thanks to those that sent in these beautiful images. I am excited to see what 2026 brings. Hold your loved ones close and stay safe. With much love & gratitude - Leanne

Such a vital free resources for families.
Have you ever accessed their helpline ?
Tell me how they helped you in the comments.

Not everyone can afford to access a Lactation Consultant and the mums you speak with on the helpline on have all been provided with education from the ABA.

There are so so many benefits to support mothers to Breastfeed 🤱 including a healthier population.

Have you ever been advised to do triple feeding? 🤱

This is worth a listen..
If you have a plan like this it is never meant to be long term !!

It requires close monitoring of baby’s weight (on the same consistent scales) and assessment of your milk supply. Continuty of care with this type of plan is also essential.

Equally as important is a hospital grade pump correctly sized and baby being offered the bottle top up via a paced technique.

I have been in this position myself and it’s really hard work! 😓

Any questions OR need support? Please reach out.

Did you ever triple feed? Breastfeed. Feed extra milk. Pump. Repeat.

The next podcast episode: THE TRIPLE FEEDING SPIRAL

Can be very helpful…
Can also steal every hour of sleep, sanity and joy of life with a baby.

In this episode, we unpack:
⚪ Why triple feeding starts, and when we suggest it.
⚪ The toll it takes on Mums, babies & families
⚪ The “five-day rule” every clinician should know
⚪ How to step off the treadmill safely

This one’s for the professionals watching women burn out while trying to “do it all” — and for the new mums and parents wondering why feeding feels this bad.

🎧 The Latch Revolution — Episode 3: The Triple Feeding Spiral — When doing it all breaks everyone down.
