Ni**le shields can be a helpful tool for some breastfeeding journeys, particularly when there is ni**le pain, difficulty latching, flat or inverted ni**les, or when babies are born early or are adjusting from bottles to the breast. They can offer a little comfort and support while feeding becomes more established and may help protect sore ni**les during healing. At the same time, they are usually best used as a temporary aid, as some babies may transfer milk less effectively through a shield, which can sometimes affect milk supply or weight gain if not monitored closely. Some babies can also become attached to feeding with the shield, making the transition away from it a little slower. With the right support and gentle guidance, ni**le shields can be a very useful option for many families while they find their rhythm with breastfeeding. But please remember often the less tools we use the easier the feeding journey. Please always aim to address the grass roots issues and seek qualified support.

Too good not to share.
There’s something incredibly powerful about holding your baby skin to skin. From the very first moments after birth, your baby knows your heartbeat, your warmth, your smell and your voice — and being close to you helps them feel safe, calm and regulated.

Skin-to-skin contact supports newborns to stabilise their temperature, breathing and heart rate while also encouraging those beautiful early feeding instincts. Babies often cry less, settle more easily and feed more effectively when they are held close against a parent’s chest.

For mothers, skin to skin helps release oxytocin — the hormone connected to bonding, milk flow and emotional wellbeing. It can support breastfeeding, encourage connection and create moments of calm in the early newborn days.

Even beyond birth, these quiet cuddles continue to matter. Whether after feeds, during naps or in the middle of a hard day, skin to skin is a gentle reminder to slow down and reconnect with your baby.

Sometimes the simplest things are the most powerful 🤍

Are you pregnant and starting to think about how to feed your baby? Please do yourself a favour and book either a private session in the comfort of your home, online worldwide or a group class. Honestly you won’t regret it. So many mum’s feel prepared to birth and unprepared for once the baby arrives.

How clever is my client?
Preparing for the arrival of her baby.
Getting to know her body.
Technique is everything - collecting colostrum a bonus. Remember your body is still pregnant and it’s no indication of milk volumes. Don’t forget you need to collect in syringes, babe, dare and time syringe. Place in freezer if it’s going up be more than a few days before you need it. Transport in freezer bag with freezer blocks. Make sure to obtain the approval of your primary health care provider.

What’s in Colostrum? Nature’s First Superfood 💛

Colostrum is the first milk your body makes—thick, golden, and loaded with goodness for your baby. Just a few drops are packed with powerful ingredients:

✨ Immunoglobulins (especially IgA) – Boosts baby’s immune system
✨ White blood cells – Protects against infection
✨ Lactoferrin – Fights bacteria and supports iron absorption
✨ Growth factors – Helps develop baby’s gut and organs
✨ Antibodies – Your body’s wisdom, passed on to baby
✨ Vitamins A, E, K – Supports vision, skin, and clotting
✨ Protein-rich, low-fat – Easy for tiny tummies to digest

This is why midwives call it liquid gold. Did you hand express for your little one?

🧡 Liquid Gold in a Syringe 🧡

This tiny amount is colostrum – the very first milk your body produces. Small in size, but absolutely mighty in benefits. 🌟

Often called “liquid gold,” colostrum is packed with:
✨ Immune-boosting antibodies
✨ Protective white blood cells
✨ Nutrients tailored perfectly for your newborn
✨ Natural laxatives to help clear meconium

Even just a few drops can make a huge difference for a baby—especially those who are premature,mums with gestational diabetes, unwell, or need a bit of extra support in their first hours or days. 💧

💉 Antenatal expression of colostrum is a wonderful way to prepare, especially if you have diabetes, are expecting a cesarean, or just want a little backup for peace of mind. Please always check with your primary healthcare provider before commencing hand expressing and note it’s usually not commenced until around 36 weeks.
Remember if you can’t hand expressing any volume that is normal as your body of still doing the job of growing your baby.

If you’ve expressed colostrum—give yourself a big hug. You’re doing something amazing. 💛
