23.01.2022 Visited Melbourne Zoo recently and caught this beautiful snap And you know what? No one's eyes burnt. No one yelled at them to cover up or left in disgust. #breastfeeding #natural

22.01.2022 It doesn't matter if you feed for one day or for 1 year. So keeping in mind a healthy mum & healthy baby is the most important thing -this article is a great reminder of the benefits of breastfeeding.

Potential mechanisms of the human milk microbiome establishment. Physiological changes during and after pregnancy facilitate the migration of bacteria to the mammary gland. (A) Hormonal changes occurring in this period may have an influence on gut permeability, which could facilitate bacterial uptake. (B) Through the retrograde flux, the mothers skin microbiota and infants oral microbiota may contribute to the establishment of the human milk microbiome. (C) Bacteria from the maternal intestinal tract may be taken up by different immune cells. The massive migration of immune cells to the mammary glands could provide another possible route to alter the human milk microbiome." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/23271066/

11.01.2022 Double pump using your own maternity bra!
