Keep your baby close to you while feeding will help them feel more secure and help with comfortable positioning 💚

Have you tried switching your baby's position to get a better latch? Sometimes it's not just about how wide they open their mouth!

If you are struggling with breastfeeding, but have found breastfeeds seem to go much better at some times of day/night than others, that can really help us to figure out what might be happening for you and your baby.

Sometimes this can be about milk volume - maybe baby feeds better on a fuller breast for example.

It can be about positioning - at certain times of day/night you may feed in a particular chair/bed or use a different position.

It can also be about what else is going on in the environment at that time - the demands on you from other people/children/housework, how stressed you are, how fussy or hungry your baby is. Breastfeeding is about 2 people coming together, and the state of each of those nervous systems (how regulated or dysregulated they are). Sometimes night time goes well because both nervous systems are more relaxed and regulated.

We are here to help if you're finding things tough at the moment 💚

Breastfeeding offers so many benefits to you and your baby - this is fabulous new research:

A brand-new study following more than half a million children just confirmed something powerful:
babies who were breastfed for at least 6 months had a lower risk of developmental delays… things like speech, language, social, and motor skills.

Even more interesting?

Researchers compared siblings raised in the same home. The child who was breastfed longer had fewer developmental delays than the sibling who wasn’t. That means the difference wasn’t just parenting style or environment, breastfeeding itself played a role.

✨ Exclusive breastfeeding showed the strongest impact, but even partial breastfeeding mattered.

✨ This adds to a growing body of evidence showing how human milk does more than feed, it helps wire the brain and support developmental foundations.

Every drop counts.
Every month makes a difference.
