I do love a good podcast! One of my favourites is ‘The Great Birth Rebellion’…….
If you are starting to think about birth options, labour, how your birth partner can help; there’s an episode there for you (as well as many others!).

Sunday 6pm. Every phone in your house is going to go off.
The annual Emergency Mobile Alert test is on this Sunday, 14 June between 6pm and 7pm. Every capable phone and SIM-connected device in Aotearoa will receive it, including smartwatches.

For a lot of Kiwi whānau, that's right in the middle of bathtime, the final settle, or the exact moment you've just got pēpi down.

Two things worth knowing:

If 6pm is your bedtime window...
Put your phone on flight mode before you start the wind-down. In NZ you can't turn off the alert through your phone settings, so flight mode is the most reliable option. Switch it back on after 7pm.

If you keep a phone hidden for your safety...
NZ Civil Defence has specifically flagged this concern. If you have a device your partner doesn't know about, please turn it completely off before 6pm and leave it off until after 7pm. Powering off (not just flight mode) is the safest option.

If you or someone you know needs support:
Women's Refuge: 0800 733 843 (free, 24/7)
Are You OK?: 0800 456 450 (free, 24/7)

Please share this with every parent in your life 💚

Kia ora whanau! June has arrived in a flash!

May was a busy month, with 6 pēpi welcomed into the world, 3 boys and 3 girls. I my first acupressure and acupuncture wānanga, already practising my new found skills on willing mama’s.

I’m now off on holiday, with Mel taking care of everyone while I get some Winter sun. See you all when I return!

Kia ora whanau, does anyone have any spare lactose/milk protein free newborn formula? Even just enough to trial a feed or two?
