18.01.2022 Lots of mums worry about their supply and it can be common to feel as if our breasts are empty from time-to-time. You might find it reassuring to know that your breasts are never empty.

09.01.2022 As the weather heats up a question that often gets asked is "Does my baby need extra fluids?" Most parents worry at some stage that their fully-breastfed baby may not be getting enough to drink in hot weather and they ask if they should give boiled water or fruit juice 'just in case'. The answer in most cases is that extra fluids are not required if your baby is breastfed whenever he needs and this may be more often than usual - just as you are drinking more often. In hot we...ather a thirsty baby may want to breastfeed more frequently but for shorter periods. In this way he is getting more low-fat milk and so is satisfying his thirst.
