Breastmilk is rich in nutrients, boosts immunity, and promotes healthy development; however, we understand that breastfeeding isn't always easy. From latching issues to low supply and medical conditions, every journey is different.

With the right guidance, including access to lactation consultants and donor milk options, more moms can find what works best for them and their babies.

Did you know? Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide.

Don't ignore the signs, some of which include a persistent cough, chest pain, breathlessness, fatigue, or repeated infections. If you have ongoing symptoms, consult your GP. Early detection is critical.

Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is when the pressure that blood places on blood vessels is higher than normal or necessary. Many people with high blood pressure don’t even know they have it. These could be warning signs.
Hypertension often goes unnoticed until it causes harm.
Symptoms that can indicate hypertension include but are not limited to:
▪ persistent dull headaches
▪ bloodshot eyes
▪ random nosebleeds
A diagnosis should always be made by a healthcare professional by monitoring your blood pressure regularly.
Know your numbers. Get your blood pressure checked and stay in control.
