"This week, as you see, and perhaps share, info., & media about birth trauma, it may feel extra tough.

Please remember that you are most important and it’s OK to step away, take a break, or stop engaging in the week altogether if you need to."

As we head in to Awareness Week, we want to send some aroha to the birth trauma community 💙

Remembering Naomi Stadlen 💕💕 Naomi's books were vital to my early parenting journey.

It is with great sadness that we share the news that retired LLLGB Leader and author Naomi Stadlen died on Friday after a long illness.

Naomi spent over 30 years listening to mothers talking in groups in her role as counsellor, psychotherapist and LLL Leader. She is also the bestselling author of books such as "What Mothers Do" and 'How Mothers Love" and more that have been influential and affirming for many - the ripples of her work will continue for many years to come.

We remember Naomi and her tremendous work supporting mothers and babies. Our heart goes out to her family and friends.

IBCLCs are worth their weight in gold!

"They support everyone whether they breastfeed directly, pump, use formula or a combination of all of it...

Whether a baby is receiving all their milk or some of their milk IBCLCs will support you to increase or maintain...

They have to have 75 hours of continuing education every 5 years to stay certified, but most will have far more hours than this to quench their thirst for knowledge."
