BREASTFEEDING CLINIC

Who Should Attend?
All breastfeeding moms should attend a Breastfeeding clinic run by a Lactation consultant, but especially those who would like support on their breastfeeding journey for challenges like latching, positioning, supply, nipple/breast pain, tongue tie, concerns with growth, or help with re-lactation. We are happy to chat with you prenatally as well if you have questions regarding how you will feed your baby.

Clinic Format:
I offer individual appointments with a Lactation Consultant with either 60min or 30min consultations and offer practical suggestions towards improving the breastfeeding experience for both you and your baby. The clinic is open on Tuesday, Thursdays and Fridays from 9 till 1

How do you join the clinic?
You can contact SR TERESA at 0824009501 via phone or whatsapp. By Appointment Only.

Where is the clinic located?
127 Cape Rd, Mount Croix PE.

ANTENATAL CLASSES - Are you due in March or April 2026? Then the classes starting on the 20th January are the classes for you

Join this Class and automatically receive FREE Membership to The Mommy Club as well as a Free Do not touch sign and Baby planner.

Antenatal classes are a very important part of your pregnancy and preparing for both birth and parenthood. They are something all 1st time parents should attend

Your babies birth is a day you and your husband will never forget! It will be a day that will change everything and everyone forever. It transforms you to a mother and you as a couple to parents. Attending Antenatal classes will ensure you have the best birth and transition into parenthood.

Choosing Antenatal classes?
The midwife's philosophy should be freedom of choice based on knowledge of all alternatives, but some important things to look at when choosing an educator:
• Her qualifications
• Is she a mother herself
• What are her ideals of labour
• Do partners attend all classes
• Length of course - be wary about crash or online courses.
• Is she independent or does she work for a specific hospital. An independent person will have the freedom to teach in an unbiased method and give you more perspective to what your options are instead of telling you how it will be done.
• What is the programme

🍼👶 Signs of silent reflux 👶 🍼

Silent reflux in babies often leads to disrupted sleep, difficulty settling, and sudden wake-ups with cries. They may prefer upright positions for comfort, as gravity prevents acid and milk from moving upward.

Additional signs may include:
✨ Coughing (a natural reaction to acid in the throat)
✨ Noisy sounds like gagging, grunting, and hoarse voice
✨ Excessive drooling (mistaken for teething)
✨ Frequent colds, ear infections
✨ Bad breath, bubbles around the mouth
✨ Hiccups

In severe cases:
✨ Constipation/diarrhea or pushing as if they want to poo but normal poo
✨ Discolored p**p
✨ Poor/excessive weight gain or loss
✨ Congestion, breathing difficulties, apnea (rare)

Remember, symptoms vary, and not all may manifest but all are caused by feeding. Trust your instincts; consult an infant feeding specialist if you suspect silent reflux. Don't just look for Medication - correcting feeding often solves it🩺

NERVOUS ABOUT JOINING MOMS T.E.A.!

Firstly I want you to know that it’s OK. Every mom feels that way 1st time

It’s completely normal.

Every mom has experienced the ups and downs of emotions and the worries of being a new parent.

At Moms T.E.A, you will find no judgment but a warm and welcoming atmosphere full of support.

This support comes not only from me, but from your new Mommy community around you as they are learning and experiencing the highs and lows of parenthood, too.

At the same time, as meeting new Mommies, there will be a talk on a Parenting topic each week

LATCHING

Breastfeeding isn’t just about how a latch looks from the outside.

Effective, efficient nursing depends on what’s happening inside the mouth!

So if things “look perfect” but you’re still dealing with pain, poor weight gain, or feeding feels hard… trust your gut!

Those challenges can be a sign of a functional or anatomical issue, not something you’re doing wrong.

Contact Sr Teresa and she will assess your baby properly.

Support that looks beyond the surface can make all the difference.
