🤱🏽 Breastfeeding 101!

In this class, we covered everything from expectation vs. reality to the science and heart behind breastfeeding. Our parents-to-be learned why it’s so important for both baby and mother, how to find the right latch and position, and what really happens when your body starts making milk.

We also spoke about expressing, returning to work, and most importantly - how to make breastfeeding work for YOU.

If you’d love to join our next class, send us a DM or message us on 071 207 9960.

We’d love to support you through your breastfeeding journey. 🍼

Traditional South African foods are packed with goodness for your bub’s nutrition. Little ones can start enjoying these from around 4 to 6 months, once they’re ready for solids:

🍲 Mabele → rich in fibre to keep those busy little tummies healthy and active.
🥣 Mealie pap → a versatile base you can pair with meat, milk, or veggies for a filling, balanced meal.
🥬 Morogo → bursting with vitamins A & C to help build a strong immune system.
🍛 Beans & samp → a hearty, protein-packed dish that keeps little ones fuller for longer.
🌾 Oatmeal → gentle on tiny tummies and loaded with wholegrain energy to start the day strong.

Mix these local favourites with fresh fruit and colourful veggies, and you’ve got plates that are not only nutritious, but fun and balanced too!!

It’s an age-old practice with beautiful benefits that helps you and your baby feel closer, calmer, and gives them that safe, secure “womb-like” feeling they love so much! 🩷🐣

Did you know that babywearing offers benefits for both baby & parents 🤍

Benefits for babies:
- reduced crying, your baby feels safe
- better regulation of temperature and breathing
- improved motor and cognitive development
- relief from discomfort
- better sleep

Benefits for parents:
- it enhances mood
- can help with milk supply
- makes breastfeeding easier
- allows your hands to be free to do tasks
- strengthens the parent-child connection & bond

Babywearing has been around for many, many, many years providing a safe space for your little one. Babywearing has been part of many cultures and during different centuries. Unfortunately in today's life, babywearing became less common with the rise in baby prams, carriers etc.

Babywearing stimulates the release of oxytocin, in both mum/dad and baby. When oxytocin flows, it nurtures the emotional connection between parents and babies 🤍

Bonding is more than cuddles, it’s the gentle touches, the focused attention, and the moments of connection that build trust between mother and baby. 🤱

In this week’s class, we explored how positive touch can strengthen that bond through:

✨ Massaging infants legs and feet
✨ Connection through nurturing touch

These small, intentional practices lay the foundation for a lifetime of security, love, and connection.

Looking back on one of our Mummy & Me (0–3 months) classes, we’re reminded of how meaningful these early sessions are!🩷

This class focused on infant feeding - either breastfeeding or formula - and the importance of supporting mums in the choices that feel right for them.

It’s always a little bittersweet watching our little ones grow so quickly and mums gain confidence with each step.

Has your little one recently reached a milestone? We’d love to celebrate it with you!

Did you know that babies don’t just see colour, but they experience it?

Bright shades spark curiosity and, when paired with touch, become a powerful way for little ones to explore their world. This is called tactile learning (using the sense of touch to connect with what they see).

Our little artists had the best time creating their own colourful masterpieces with safe-to-use paint. It was such a joy watching them take another step in their growth.🎨

Have you ever heard the Pineapple myth for pregnancy?🍍

The claim that pineapple can trigger labour isn’t true - but what it does give you is a healthy boost of vitamin C, hydration, and fibre, all of which are great for you and your growing baby!

What other pregnancy-related myths have you come across?💭

Plenty of giggles in this class! 🥰

We had so much fun watching our own reflections and seeing how animated we become when talking to our babies. And guess what? That’s not just normal - it’s recommended!

Babies learn by mimicking us, and when we pause to give them time to respond, we’re actually helping their little brains grow and learn.

We also chatted through speech milestones, from the sweet sounds of cooing to those first babbles, and what they might sound like in real life.
