A whole week since the BfN Lambeth Study Day and I’m still thinking about it 💛

It was such a lovely day filled with brilliant talks from inspiring guest speakers — I always come away with fresh ideas and a renewed passion for supporting families in those early feeding journeys.

And honestly, one of the best parts? Catching up and connecting with such wonderful colleagues. There’s something really special about being in a room full of people who just get it ✨

Days like this always pour back into the care and support I offer through Milk Moments — and remind me why I care so deeply about this work 💫

Thank you for all your knowledge, support & hard work

Hello 2026, & greetings to followers old and new👋🏽

As we head into the new year, remember — your feeding journey doesn’t need a deadline or a fresh start 🕰️

Whatever this year looked like, you’re allowed to keep learning, adjusting, and asking for support.

Here’s to moving forward with confidence, compassion, and care 🤍

If feeding is something you want to feel more confident about in the year ahead, I’m here. One feed at a time ✨

A New Year begins. Same baby. Same needs.

New Year’s Day can bring a quiet sense of expectation — to do things differently, to be “back on track”, to have answers 🤍

Feeding doesn’t reset on 1 January—and that’s okay.

Infant feeding doesn’t need a fresh start. It needs continuity, responsiveness and support.

What support actually looks like in 2026

❌ Not always a quick fix
❌ One-size-fits-all
✔ Individualised, evidence-based care

Wherever you’re starting this year — confident, uncertain, tired, hopeful, or all at once — you don’t need to figure it out alone.

Milk Moments is here to support you through the year ahead with calm, evidence-based infant feeding care.

This year may have brought joy, uncertainty, confidence, doubt — and many questions about feeding 🤍 As the year closes, many parents feel pressure to “reset” or do things differently.

But feeding doesn’t need a fresh start — it needs consistency, compassion, and support.

Wherever you are in your feeding journey tonight, you are enough for your baby.

As we move into a new year, there’s no need to reset or rush ahead.
Moving forward can simply mean staying curious, responsive, and supported.

I’m here to support you into the new year and beyond ✨

✨ Christmas Support from Milk Moments ✨

Christmas can amplify feeding worries — especially when routines change and support feels harder to reach 🤍

If feeding feels uncomfortable, confusing, or heavier than usual, it doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong. It means your baby is responding to change — and you deserve support too.

Milk Moments is here to provide calm, evidence-based infant feeding support throughout the festive season and into the New Year.

Whether you’re breastfeeding, pumping, combination feeding, or still finding your feet — you don’t have to hold it all alone.

With the joys of hosting, entertaining, cooking and festive games, your feeding pattern may be a little different to usual. Perhaps cuddles lasted longer than usual, travelling to and from has meant a feed was delayed, or you just didn’t have the quiet space to feed like you usually do. We know that mastitis tends to be more common in the festive period.

* Remember to keep your feeds regular, if that means you need to duck off somewhere quiet to feed or whip a breast out at the dinner table, so be it! Baby needs to eat too!
* If you find yourself getting fuller and uncomfortable, get your baby back and feed!
* Older babies (from 3 months up) can be really distracted at the breast when there are a lot of people around, so you may need to sit in a darker quiet space to stop them from popping on and off so much!
* Let people take care of you - Bring you food and water. Soak up the time being a new Mum and let people dot on you for a change!
* If you find yourself with mastitis symptoms, feed as often as you usually would. Avoid over pumping. Take Paracetamol for pain/temperature and Ibuprofen for inflammation, use a cold compress to reduce inflammation.
* Remember it’s about milk not flowing effectively so have someone review your feeding. Don’t vigorously massage the breast or try to empty the breast.
* If symptoms worsen you may need to see your GP for antibiotics. If symptoms are worsening or not improving after 24 hours of self help measures, attend a maternity assessment unit if within the hospital remit.

A feeding review is always important to identify why the milk isn’t being removed as effectively. As a lactation consultant I can support you with this.

Wishing you all a very merry Christmas ♥️

Christmas often comes with extra noise, extra people — and extra advice 🎄

Many feeding myths come from a place of wanting to help, but they can unintentionally create pressure or self-doubt during an already full season.

Babies often feed more during periods of change. Parents often worry more too. Neither means you’re doing anything wrong.

Responsive, flexible feeding supports both your baby’s needs and your feeding relationship — even (and especially) at Christmas.

Check out myth busters. https://www.unicef.org/parenting/food-nutrition/14-myths-about-breastfeeding

If feeding feels uncomfortable, confusing, or raises questions, individualised guidance can help protect both feeding outcomes and parental confidence.

Milk Moments Ltd provides calm, evidence-based infant feeding support throughout the festive season and beyond 🤍

Setting boundaries around feeding can feel uncomfortable — especially with family, visitors, and people who really want to help.

But boundaries aren’t about being difficult or ungrateful.
They’re about protecting your baby’s regulation, your feeding relationship, and your own confidence as a parent.

You don’t need the perfect wording.
You don’t need to justify yourself.
And you don’t need to explain evidence to anyone at the dinner table.

Short, calm phrases are enough.

If you’re the feeding parent: it’s okay to lean on your partner.
If you’re the partner: your voice matters more than you realise.

If setting boundaries feels hard, support can help you feel clearer and more confident — not just at Christmas, but beyond 🤍

Saving these phrases now can make the day feel a little lighter 💚

Christmas can highlight feeding worries that were already quietly there 🤍

Concerns about “feeding too often”, visitors watching, or whether baby is getting enough can feel louder this time of year.

If your baby feeds more, wants to be close, or struggles to settle in a busy environment, this is not a problem to fix — it’s communication.

Changes to routine, more visitors and a lot of noise= lots of stimulation and potential disruption.

Responsive feeding supports regulation, milk supply, and emotional security, especially during periods of change.

You are allowed to step away, feed in peace, and prioritise your baby over expectations.

You don’t need to manage this alone. Support doesn’t stop just because it’s December.

✨ How do you know if your baby is feeding well? ✨
It’s completely natural to question what’s “normal” in those early days. While every baby feeds a little differently, there are consistent signs that tell us milk is being transferred effectively.

In today’s video, I break down what to look for, so you can feel informed and reassured. 🤱🏽💛

If something feels off or you’re unsure, reaching out early can make a big difference. You’re not meant to figure this all out alone.

✨ Save this for those postnatal moments when you need a little reminder. ✨
