Breastfeeding is natural so it should make it easy right? 🤔 Well for some women yes, for others not at all! 🤷‍♀️🥴😥🤦‍♀️

If you are having issues reach out for help -

* there are online education sessions like Liora is running below (Liora is full of information on BF and postnatal anxiety and depression).

* we are lucky in Whakatāne (and the wider EBOP) to have access to two brilliant Lacatation Consultants, Chris and Amy for help. They are often able to have one on one consults with māma which are fantastic to help with positioning, or diagnosing tongue ties/lip ties etc.

* and we have wrap around support from the osteopaths and other health professionals in our community.

Ultimately happy mum = happy baby so get the support to do what is best for you and your whānau 💕💕

🌸We have two more dates for Liora’s amazing, free online antenatal breastfeeding classes.

Saturday - February 26th 9am - 11am
Monday - March 21st 7pm - 9pm

Registration is essential via email to : lioranoy3@gmail.com

We welcome and encourage partners & support people to join in too 💕

Turns out there are a few more parts to the human body than the rhyme "māhunga, pokohiwi, puku, hope, waewae" let on.... 🙄🤷‍♀️🤓🤓

Life can be tricky at the best of times, not to mention adding Covid stress to it! This is a great flowchart to remind us to be curious about how other people are doing, or to be honest when others ask us. 💕

Tomorrow is R U OK?Day, a reminder to start a conversation that could change a life - not just tomorrow, but any day it's needed.

Learn how to ask, and what to say if someone says they aren't OK.

💕M A T E R N I T Y L E A V E 💕

LeeAnn is now on maternity leave for the rest of the year, and so for now the clinic will be "wintering over" til she returns sometime early 2022.

Thank you all for your support over the last few years, and in particular the kindness, wisdom and generosity as Taylor and I move forward on this new adventure.

Stay well 🙏💕🙏
