Now open at The Nest Health Centre!

Hi folks. Munch is an inclusive place, and we recognize that many people with disabilities have less financial resources than others in society. We want everyone to be able to come here, so we have a 25% discount for people with disabilities. The discount only applies to the person and not to everyone they come with, but we hope this will make Munch's already excellent prices more affordable for people experiencing disabilities. This is good for our food and for any events we host in the future.

Breastfeeding is a natural process, but it’s not always easy. Mothers need support—both to get started and to sustain breastfeeding.

Let us all do our part to protect breastfeeding

01/02/2026

Yes! You can breastfeed when you’re ill. In fact, continuing to breastfeed helps protect your baby because your body produces antibodies and other immune factors that pass through your milk. These help your little one fight off the same illness or reduce its severity. Breastfeeding while sick also supports your own health by preventing engorgement and maintaining your milk supply, which can be disrupted if feeds or pumping sessions are skipped.

As we approach the end of this year, I wanted to reach out to say thank you for your trust in me to provide you with lactation support. With over 12 years working as a Lactation Consultant in hospital, the change to also provide these services through a private practice has been rewarding. The Nest Health Centre continues to expand to meet the needs of the community, and I am grateful to be a part of it!

As I to grow my practice, I would love it if you could provide me any feedback in the form of a google review. This will help spread the word in our community and allow me to help others reach their infant feeding goals!

✨ New Journal Publication! ✨

Huge news for breastfeeding mothers with ADHD — our study on atomoxetine is published!

Our study shows that only very small amounts of atomoxetine enter breast milk. Most mothers had an RID under 0.2%, and even the highest level found was only 0.65%, suggesting very low risk while breastfeeding.

Because of this new evidence, we are updating atomoxetine’s lactation safety rating from L4 to L2, reflecting a much safer profile than previously thought.

A few reports of infant fussiness have been noted, so monitoring is still important. Any concerns should be reported to systems like FAERS to help strengthen safety data.

This research provides encouraging evidence that atomoxetine may be a safe, viable ADHD treatment for breastfeeding mothers.
