Hand-labelling bars… STILL 😅 Small business life means daily plot twists. A miscommunication meant our fresh new wrappers didn’t get used. Not perfect, but real and what mum hasn’t found herself doing it all by hand after a mix-up? Thank you for loving these bars, labels and all. Ren. X

FROM YOUR MIDWIFE BESTIE: The Moro reflex also known as the startle reflex is a normal and healthy newborn reflex. It helps your pēpi respond to sudden changes in their environment like a shift in position, loud noise, or unexpected touch by flinging their arms out and quickly drawing them back in. It begins at birth, peaks in those first few weeks, and typically fades by around 2 months, though some babies will show signs up until 4 to 6 months.

For many babies, this reflex can feel disruptive, especially when they’re just drifting off to sleep. That’s why some parents choose to swaddle during this stage. When done safely, swaddling can mimic the cozy, contained feeling of the womb and help reduce sudden movements that might wake baby up. However, it’s important to stop swaddling as soon as baby shows signs of trying to roll or is consistently breaking free. At that point, switch to an arms free option to allow safe movement. Transitional sleepwear like the zip-off sleeve designs from Love to Dream [pictured here] can help make that shift smoother.

Four babies later and still choosing Lila Jasmine. Cora placed her first order with us on February 24th 2020 when she had her first baby. Fast forward to today:

▻ Her 4th [and last] last baby is snuggled in for a morning of cluster feeding.
▻ Her 5 year-old raids the apricot bars so she has to hide them.
▻ Swipe left to see the original bars. Who can remember our hand-baked days!

We’re so grateful for mums like Cora who’ve been part of this journey from the very beginning. Tell me, how many of your babies have grown up with our bars?

Dear māmā,
From Junee - Midwife & Educator

"As a midwife and breastfeeding mom, I can attest to the effectiveness of Lila Jasmine bars. When I faced breastfeeding challenges with my first baby, these bars helped boost my supply. Now, with my second baby, I rely on for a nutrient-dense snack on-the-go. I love their delicious taste, especially crumbled over yogurt - though now I have to share with my toddler! Lila Jasmine bars are the only supplment I recommend to mama and whanau looking to support their breastfeeding journey."

FROM YOUR MIDWIFE BESTIE: Muka, derived from harakeke [flax], is traditionally used to tie the pito [umbilical cord] after birth. It’s safe, biodegradable, and deeply symbolic. The harakeke plant grows in tight bundles, representing the child, parents, and grandparents: the whānau.

Once baby is born and the cord blood has transferred, muka can be used to securely tie the pito. It will need checking and tightening with each nappy change. Using muka connects generations, a treasured practice passed down.

If this practice speaks to you, consider using muka for your pēpi. You can purchase a prepared muka tie or, in some areas, learn to weave your own through local hāpu wānanga.

When I had our little boys Seb and Xav, two of my friends [also midwives] were having babies around the same time. We messaged every day and met up at least once a week - walking, sharing meals, baking lactation cookies, and supporting each other. They were my lifeline, my village.

A strong support network isn’t just comforting, it’s clinically important. Studies have shown that peer support can significantly reduce the risk of postpartum depression, and both emotional and practical support help protect mothers’ mental health after birth.

These gals pictured here are friends in real life - how fabulous that they get to live this season together. If you don’t have your village yet, consider tapping into local parenting-baby groups, exercise groups, Playcentre, or online networks. Go find your village. Go find your people. 💫

Those nights when your baby won’t stop feeding? It’s not you. It’s cluster feeding. This is your baby's way of saying: “Hi māmā, I’m growing - let’s up the milk, please!”

It can feel intense [and a little relentless], but it doesn’t mean your supply is low. It’s just nature’s way of getting things sorted.

Pro tip: Settle in with snacks, water, and all the patience. You’ve got this and it usually only lasts a day or two.

The heart of our bars? Oats! Rolled and steel-cut baked into every bite. For generations mums have leaned on oats as a natural galactagogue, finding them supportive for their milk supply. They're also packed with slow-release cars for steady energy and support in those hazy newborn days when sleep is low and snack cravings are high.

You deserve nourishment that works as hard as you do ♡

Lila Jasmine Lactation Bars

Lila Jasmine Lactation Bars are lovingly made to taste like they came straight from grandma’s kitchen. They are full of powerhouse ingredients like chia seeds & galactagogues such as Brewers Yeast, Steel Cut Oats & Flax Seeds all of which are traditionally used to improve breast milk production. The bars are intentionally individually wrapped so that you can eat them on the go, put them in your handbag & in desperate situations feed them to your hungry children (and husband)!
