Sometimes I get messages that just say, Ren!!……

This one's from a dairy-free breastfeeding mum. Breastfeeding can feel overwhelming, especially when you're navigating food restrictions and trying to nourish your body postpartum.

That’s why we created a dairy-free lactation bar. Simple. Nourishing. Eat on-the-go. Your one-handed breastfeeding snack.

FROM YOUR MIDWIFE BESTIE | Around days 3–5 after birth, many new mums experience what’s called the baby blues. You might feel tearful for no clear reason, overwhelmed, unsure of yourself, like you’re not coping.

This happens because your hormone levels drop suddenly after birth - on top of exhaustion and the enormity of caring for a tiny human. The baby blues are common, temporary, up-and-down. You might cry one minute and feel okay the next. That emotional wave can feel intense but it usually settles within a few days. If low mood or anxiety lasts longer than 1-2 weeks, feels heavy rather than fleeting, is getting worse instead of better, or you’re struggling to cope day-to-day, please reach out to your midwife, GP, tell someone you trust.

In Aotearoa, Perinatal Anxiety and Depression Aotearoa (PADA) has excellent nationwide support services. If you ever feel in immediate danger, call 111. Whatever you’re feeling you deserve support!

Save this for days 3–5 and send it to a new mum who might need the reminder.

I first walked into Waikato Hospital in 2008 as a brand-new graduate nurse, just 20 years old. I still remember how it felt - equal parts excited and completely unsure of myself.

Eighteen years on, my contract has officially ended. I picked up casual shifts after Sebastian was born. It suited our family beautifully while the boys were little. But as they’ve grown and as we’ve bought, sold, and built small businesses I knew deep down this chapter was coming to a close.

Working in a tertiary hospital shaped me in ways I’ll always be grateful for. It strengthened my clinical eye, deepened my compassion, and taught me so much about what women really need in those early, vulnerable days after birth.

Letting go of something good can still feel tender. But motherhood teaches us that seasons change - babies grow, bodies heal, identities stretch, and sometimes we’re gently invited into something new.

I’m still working casually at Waterford Birth Centre, which I love. And I’m still here supporting you. No longer in the hospital corridors. Still deeply in your corner.

09/02/2026

The 5–5–5 postpartum “rule” [that isn’t really a rule at all]. For centuries, cultures around the world protected postpartum recovery. The idea comes from long-standing postpartum traditions where rest was protected and recovery was prioritised:

☽ Chinese practice – Zuo Yue Zi, sitting the month
☽ Latin cultures – La cuarentena, 40 days of rest
☽ Indian tradition – Jaapa, 40-day period of confinement
☽ Māori/Pasifika traditions – whanau support, traditional care practices and connection to the whenua

These cultures recognised something we’ve only recently started re-learning. Not rushed. Not minimised. Protected. The 5–5–5 concept comes from that wisdom:
♡ 5 days in the bed
♡ 5 days on the bed
♡ 5 days around the bed

That’s 15 days focused on rest, healing, feeding and bonding. Not cleaning. Not hosting. Not “bouncing back”. This is just a guide, not a rulebook. Not everyone has the same level of support. Not everyone can do this perfectly. Even honouring parts of it can make a the such a difference.

If I could wind back time, I’d be implementing this. I still remember trying to take our brand-new family of five for a walk along the river - my body stopped working about 30 steps in. It was trying to tell me something. Save this. Share it. Or gently remind yourself that slowing down is allowed.

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)!
