‘Invest in breastfeeding, invest in the future’

“World Breastfeeding Week is celebrated every year in the first week of August, championed by WHO, UNICEF, Ministries of Health and civil society partners around the globe. It’s a time to recognize breastfeeding as a powerful foundation for lifelong health, development, and equity.

Under the banner of WHO’s ongoing Healthy Beginnings, Hopeful Futures campaign, World Breastfeeding Week will shine a particular spotlight on the ongoing support women and babies need from the healthcare system through their breastfeeding journey.

This means ensuring every mother has access to the support and information she needs to breastfeed as long as she wishes to do so - by investing in skilled breastfeeding counselling, enforcing the International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes, and creating environments—at home, in healthcare, and at work—that support and empower women.

This isn’t just about doing what’s right—it’s also smart economics.

Breastfeeding delivers a hopeful future not only for children, but for societies. It reduces healthcare costs, boosts cognitive development, strengthens economies, and sets children up with healthy beginnings.”

Happy World Breastfeeding Week Mamas!

Did you know breastmilk is made from your blood?

That’s right—your body takes nutrients from your bloodstream and transforms them into perfect nutrition for your baby

That’s why it’s so important to check your iron levels, especially if you had low iron during pregnancy or suffered a hemorrhage at delivery

Low iron can leave you feeling exhausted and may even affect your milk supply

Supporting your body means supporting your baby. Make sure your iron stores are where they need to be

If you are feeling unsure about your milk production, consider talking to your health care provider about running some labs to double-check!

✨Having trouble increasing your milk supply?

✨Not getting more than 30ml with pumping?

✨A few minutes of hand expression after using your breast pump can help you remove more milk!

✨Even a hospital grade pump can’t remove very small amounts of breastmilk that remain in your breasts after pumping

✨It’s a simple way to maximize milk removal, support your supply, and make the most of each session

✨Your body and your baby will thank you!

✨At Nourish, we’re all about helping you feel confident and supported every step of your feeding and pumping journey

Yes, you read that right. Even with my training and knowledge, my own feeding journeys were hard. Painful. Emotional. Overwhelming at times. And yet, no one really talks about that part.

We live in a society that celebrates ‘breast is best’, but often skips over the messy, complicated, deeply personal reality of getting there.

Breastfeeding challenges are so common, but too often kept quiet — leaving parents feeling isolated and like they’re failing. You’re not.

It’s time we normalize the struggle too — because with the right support, knowledge, and compassion, you don’t have to go through it alone.

I’m here to remind you: hard doesn’t mean impossible. Nourish is here for you mama😊.

Not being able ‘to measure’ how much milk your baby is drinking at the breast can feel stressful and confusing when trying to determine if they are still hungry or just want to pacify

But before reaching for the soother or bottle, I always recommend breastfeeding again just to be sure

Babies feed for more than just nutrition — they seek comfort, connection, calming, and reassurance at the breast

Offering the breast first helps rule out hunger, supports your milk supply, and helps you get to know your baby better especially in those early weeks

Our expert team is here to guide you every step of the way — because feeding your baby should feel supported, not stressful

Reach out anytime mamas — we’re here for you 7 days a week in cities all across 🇨🇦
