Each week, I will carefully choose a topic related to motherhood and breastfeeding, addressing the real challenges that mothers face.

I'll provide evidence-based information and offer solutions to help navigate these obstacles effectively. Stay tuned, and feel free to participate and share your thoughts as we explore these important topics together.

We will start our discussions with a topic that is often shrouded in silence and frequently disregarded—postnatal depression.

THIS MILK IS NOT SUITABLE FOR INFANT FEEDING

My little one is almost 4months old, and from early on we have identified that she is allergic to cows milk protein. This causes gastrointestinal symptoms such as mucous in her nappies along with other.

I now use cows milk protein alternative milk options for coffee and cooking.
My favorite is: Macadamia milk from
Now I can still enjoy my coffee and my little can grow optimal with breastmilk.

For breastfeeding advice and allergies ask your health care professional for help or contact a Dietitian.

This is still a favorite in our house! One of the biggest challenges for me with packing a lunchbox is what to put on the sandwiches.
Because it must still be healthy and without excessive sugar and salt, and protein is a plus.
I then found the perfect alternative to chocolate spread. Macadamia Cocoa Nut Butter from
High in protein and preservatives free, and the kids love it.

It is a now a lunchbox favorite on a slice of brown bread or a teaspoon full after a swim in this heat. Even my little one with cow’s milk protein allergy can now also enjoy chocolate on his bread.

This week, as we celebrate World Breastfeeding Week, the theme "Let's make breastfeeding and work, work!" brings attention to the critical issue faced by many working mothers who want to continue breastfeeding after returning to work.

Breastfeeding is undoubtedly the best way to nourish infants, providing them with essential nutrients and antibodies for optimal growth and development. We set out to inform and educate those in our midst on ways to overcome these barriers.

By working together, we can ensure that breastfeeding and work truly can work hand in hand for the benefit of all.

Thank you to all the dads that also came for support, you are of immense value to the breastfeeding dyad.

I am convinced that I have the best job ever, helping moms and babies breastfeed and thrive. I can never get use to the feeling of pure bliss and satisfaction when these small humans breastfeed and gain weight like stars.

Each day holds new challenges, but it also comes with so much reward.

Thank you Christelle Rademeyer, I enjoyed each moment of this journey with you. You are strong and courageous and Roald is loved by the best mom!

Worldwide, one in every ten babies is born prematurely.
These little ones have many challenges to overcome, which can include breathing difficulties, small kidneys, underdeveloped hearts, and feeding difficulties.
Premature babies are cared for in the hospital’s NICU by numerous healthcare professionals, including a lactation consultant to support the mother with lactation. Mothers of premature babies need extra support to establish milk supply until their little one is strong enough to feed directly from the breast.
Why are we telling you this?
Because there is a way that we as the community can help, and that is by donating breastmilk.
Giving breastmilk to premature babies increases their chance of survival tremendously.
Just 50ml of breastmilk is enough to feed a premature baby for a whole day.
If you want to donate or if you are interested in learning more, call Arné Naudé at 079 501 6925 or visit the website of the South African Breastmilk Reserve (SABR) at https://www.sabr.org.za/
You can save a life by donating life-saving breastmilk!
