For all of you out there wanting a home birth …

We always see loads of questions about home birth.

I can't answer individual queries, but I have a website full of free information.

It also has links to my books and other sources of useful info for when you want more depth.

Because so many people ask, "is home birth safe?" (and yes, it is), that's the name of our home birth information hub.

It offers links to all of my info on this topic and an overview of the most recent studies in this area.

This quote is from just one study looking at the safety of home birth, and there are many more.

So have a look at our information hub, and yes, please feel free to share/repost this pic or link with our text and credit intact.

One more sleep!

We are super excited to be hosting The Big Latch On this year! With covid and lockdowns there hasn't been an in person event for many years so it is extra special 🥰 The Big Latch On is about supporting parents with their feeding journeys by creating safe and accepting spaces. It provides an opportunity for parents to connect with and meet new friends, and receive support and information from local services. We will have some our wonderful lactation consultants and breastfeeding peer supporters available. We'll also have morning tea provided, with games, spot prizes, and tamariki activities. Friday 12 April 10.30am - 12.30 at the Helensville tennis club, 164 Rautawhiri Rd, Helensville. For more info get in touch here, or visit us at the drop in clinic, 1 Porter Crescent, Helensville Monday/Wednesday/Friday 9am - 3pm
