25.01.2022 Have you ever wondered what a breastfeed looks like? Our Breastfeeding Peer Supporter Nicky has kindly made this video to help explain what a breastfeed looks l...ike. Lots of mums tell us they worry about breastfeeding because they can’t see what their baby is getting. It is very rare that a mum won’t make enough milk for her baby. So although you can’t see what is going in there are others ways to can tell if your baby is feeding well. Take a look at their nappy!! We have attached a simple check list, but if you have any worries please contact the Health Visitor Service desk on 03003045076 Monday-Friday Peer supporter helpline over the weekend 07920466660 Your body is amazing it has the ability to make milk for your baby that is unique to them. Your breast milk is packed with antibodies that will help your baby fight infection.

13.01.2022 An article showed up on my Facebook feedback the said the average working mother puts in about 100 hours of labor a week, that is almost double the global avera...ge which is around 47 hours!! For generations society has defined the roles of a father and mother in a household, a definition that I think is outdated and unfair. As a husband and a father I believe that it is just as much my responsibility to help around the home and with the kids as it is my wife's. We can't live in a world that expects the world from one parent and a little effort from the other, as with everything balance is important, it shows that both parents care, not just about the home and their children, but about each other. Enjoy the video! Follow Khalid Al Ameri on Facebook and Instagram for more stories and videos!!

13.01.2022 **The Sacred Call of Midnight** Her sharp scream made me sit up straight out of a dead sleep. I shuffled out of bed and down the hall to her room. "Mommy, I hav...e to go potty!" she choked out in a muffled cry as hot tears rolled down her red, chubby cheeks. I picked her up and walked her over to the bathroom and sat her down on the toilet. As she sat there and started to come to, her little shaky voice suddenly grew clear. "I love you, Mommy," she mumbled, as she smiled and finished her business. "I love you too, baby," I smiled as I wiped her bottom. I pulled her Minnie Mouse panties back up and carried her back to her bed, laying her down and brushing the hair from her face. She smiled as she drifted back off to sleep. No sooner had I stood back up when I heard another cry from another room, "Mommy!" I shuffled across the hall and crept over to my other daughter's bed. "Mommy, I'm just scared can you lay with me?" So I crawled into bed next to her. She, too, smiled as I brushed the hair from her face and kissed her head. "I love you, Mommy," she whispered. "I love you, too, baby," I said as I re-tucked the covers back over her shoulders. And just like that, she was already back asleep. I made it down the hallway and back into my bed. I hadn't quite pulled up the covers when the baby stirred in the bassinet next to me. His stirring turned to a cry, and my let down signaled that it was time for me to get up with him, too. I picked that baby up and began to nurse him, singing a midnight lullaby, swaying back and forth in the middle of the room. He soon finished his middle of the night meal with a tiny burp and a long sigh, gently patting my chest as he drifted back off to sleep, as if to say, "I love you, Mommy." "Oh sweet baby, I love you, too," I whispered as I stroked his tiny face, continuing to sway, my nightgown flowing in the shadows of the night. These middle of the night meetings, these chopped up sleepless nights.... they are nothing short of exhausting. But we are chosen for them, aren't we mama friend? This is the sacred call of midnight; the cries we were created to respond to. And how blessed are we to be told so many times in the middle of one night just how loved and needed we are. So go into the darkness and answer your call tonight, mama. And know just how loved you truly are

11.01.2022 Why would someone tell you to ignore your infant's cries all night till they pass out? Think about it. Pay attention to the system at work. It's time for the Di...vine Feminine to Rise and restore peace, love, unity on earth!

10.01.2022 | NEWS ALERT | Today the Australian Federal Government announced that they will be committing $7m to stillbirth! Stillbirth rates have not changed in over two... decades but today, with this financial commitment there is a new sense of hope on the horizon for bereaved and expectant families alike. In the 25 years since my daughter Emma’s stillbirth the stillbirth rates in Australia have barely changed but tonight the Australian government have finally made commitments to strategies that will certainly save babies lives, congratulations to all involved - Emma’s mother, Associate Professor Jane Warland (Still Aware board member) Thank you to the Greg Hunt MP Nicolle Flint Member for Boothby Senator Jim Molan and Liberal Party of Australia with much needed funding for stillbirth awareness, education, research and support we can journey to end preventable stillbirth in Australia
