Today - 15th October @ 7pm - light a candle. The wave of light - Together we will remember every baby that has passed away🩶🕯️✨

7 Top things we recommend post birth for you and your baby 🥰

🪙Silverette - SILVERETTE arë mini cup's that are worn over the ni***es, helping to prevent, protect and alleviate painful, damaged ni***es from breastfeeding.

🥛Milk Collectors - Is the perfect breast pad alternative for mums who want to save every drop of leakage and letdown instead of soaking it up.

❄️Hydrogel pads - Hydrogel breast discs are designed to cool and soothe cracked and sore ni***es. Best kept in the fridge.

🥥Coconut or Olive Oil - your baby will become very dry after birth, it is normal for them to lose their top two layers of skin. Massaging them in oil will prevent the skin from cracking.

💗Love to dream swaddles.

🍼Narrow Neck Dr Brown bottles.

🏝️Two Island Milk Maker - Milk Maker is specially formulated to support healthy milk supply and volume for busy breastfeeding Mums and thriving babies.
