Breastfeeding isn't free!

Breastfeeding isn't free!

Everyone loves to say breastfeeding is “free.”

It’s not.

But no one talks about the sleepless nights, the cracked and sore ni***es, the leaking, the pump parts, the nursing bras, the pads, the supplements, the endless snacks, or the hours spent feeding while the rest of the world sleeps.

No one talks about being the only one who can comfort your baby at 2 a.m., the mental load of tracking feeds, the exhaustion of always being “on,” or how your body stops feeling like just yours for a while.

Breastfeeding isn’t free.

It’s paid for with a mother’s body, her time, her energy, and her emotional strength, and that deserves more recognition than it gets. 🤍

As the year comes to a close, we pause to reflect on the many journeys we have shared. It has been a privilege to walk alongside families through moments of anticipation, joy, and profound love.

The Christmas season can also be tender for some. We quietly remember the babies who are not here in our arms but remain forever in our hearts, and we hold their families with care and compassion.

We wish you a Christmas filled with love, joy, and precious moments together, and a New Year that brings health, happiness, and new beginnings.

We all look forward to supporting you in the year ahead. 💛

With warmest wishes,
From all of us at The Baby Business🤍xx

For all local families who have welcomed a baby between Oct 2025 and January 2026 ❤️

Have you recently welcomed, or are you soon welcoming, a pēpi born between October 2025 and January 2026?
We’d love you to join our next 20-week SPACE programme, held on Thursday afternoons during term time.

At Rachel’s House, we create a warm, welcoming place for new parents to connect and feel supported. Each week we explore topics around baby development, chat about the highs and lows of parenting, enjoy developmentally appropriate play, music, and a shared story, all alongside a delicious afternoon tea.

SPACE is a wonderful way to:
🌼 Build friendships with other new parents
🌼 Learn more about your baby’s growth and development
🌼 Share experiences in a safe, supportive environment
🌼 Enjoy time to slow down and bond with your pēpi

If you’re looking to build your village, this is a beautiful place to start.
Registrations now open for our February 2026 intake. Spaces are limited so be in quick!

Our Story

The Baby Business is a well-established practice of midwives in the North Canterbury region of New Zealand. We pride ourselves on the care that we give to women and their families both individually and as a collective. We work with women/whānau throughout pregnancy, birth, and for up to 6 weeks postnatally. Our care is centred around individual needs.

We believe childbirth to be a normal physiological process that has been perfectly designed by nature to bring babies into the world. It is a primal experience that has its own rhythm and pace that should be respected and honoured, which works best when interfered with as little as possible.

We believe that women should have as much control as possible when determining their care, and should be encouraged to actively participate in decision making. When informed, supported and encouraged to follow their instincts, women are able to be active givers of birth rather than passive receivers of birth technology. Women who take responsibility for their birth journey and give birth to their babies under their own power, emerge from the experience empowered, with a new sense of their own capabilities.

Midwifery is both an art and a science. The science of midwifery overlaps with other disciplines such as medicine and nursing and involves knowing how and when to intervene to promote safety. We are on call 24/7 7 days a week. Our working hours are Mon-Fri 8-5pm. Out of these hours is for urgent/labour cares only. Lindsay Braddock Jackie Snowden Mobile: 02102928312 Mobile: 0210700751
