22.01.2022 International Day of the Midwife! So proud to be a midwife being with women, supporting women and reassuring women in such a vulnerable time in their lives. Mabel and I joined in on a walk for midwives through the gorgeous grounds of our local hospital. #midwives #internationaldayofthemidwife #followthedata #bestjob

22.01.2022 The best parental investment I’ve made! I bought this safe back at the start of homeschooling as I couldn’t bear the thought of my kids being at home 24hrs a day with devices in the house and me having to continually know where the devices were, what they were watching and how much tech time they have had! So I bought a safe, installed it in my wardrobe and now lock it all away when I want! They haven’t even worked out the code yet! It gives us all a break from it and ...the funny thing is when it’s out of sight it’s out of mind! The kids tend to go back to being ‘kids’ and I can go about my business without having to watch them every minute or have the guilt of knowing they have had too much time on it!

16.01.2022 We do have a cute little shop with essentials and gifts for mum & bub but did you know we have a breastfeeding room? You are welcome to come and use our feeding lounge so pop in when it suits. We can get you a drink or you can grab a coffe from next door (thanks @billsbeans_eastorange). We have a reading/play nook if your toddler is in tow and you can ask a question or two if you need. We are open Wednesday-Friday 930-3 or sat morning 9-12. #youdonthavetofeedinyourcar #handyforoutoftowners #breastfeedingspace #practicalandpretty

15.01.2022 This is the ‘normal’ newborn behaviour in those early days.... the amount of times we get concerned parents ringing us concerned their milk isn’t ‘in’ (on day 2) but it’s normal to not have milk straight away as your newborns tummy couldn’t possibly cope with the volume and you would end up with blocked ducts and mastitis as they aren’t being emptied! There is a lot that happens in the early days, a lot of emotions (on sleep deprived parents) and overwhelming/ conflicting advice but persist with knowing your body and baby knows what to do so if you trust in the process it will all be ok. #askforhelp #breastfeeding #theydontneedabottle #itsallnormal #bepatient #trustintheprocess

15.01.2022 Don't be too hard on yourself if your Christmas plans aren't going the way you planned! Seeing things through your children's eyes brings a wonderful perspective #thankscovid #staysafeeveryone #throughchildrenseyes

15.01.2022 4 years ago we opened up our little @milcshop! (We need an updated photo) The shop was a little add on to our already existing private midwifery service. It’s a lovely, peaceful space that we consult from as well as provide you with all our beautiful & practical goodies you may need on your parenting journey. We enjoy meeting and chatting with you all. We love cuddles of all the newborns, babies and children! We love hearing about your pregnancies, your births and your breastfeeding and parenting ups and downs! We thank you for trusting us to ride alongside you through it all! To say thank-you we are giving you 20% OFF EVERYTHING tomorrow online and instore. #sorrymabes #alwaysourbabies #milcshop #onestopshop #fouryears #blackfridayalso #happyshopping

09.01.2022 Your newborn and sleep! Try to remember your newborn is very immature developmentally so keep things VERY simple and VERY consistent in the early days. In the womb they have a very constant source of temperature, lighting, movement, noise and even a constant feeding drip! So it’s no surprise that they seem a bit unsettled when we suddenly bombard them with lights, different temperatures, needles, clothes, wet wipes, different people holding them, baby Einstein etc etc etc...... Once you get home remember all your newborn needs is food, sleep and comfort so keep it simple. Try to keep things consistent with sleep cues, comforts and patterns you are offering your baby and in time they will know what’s coming. Until then it’s trial and error, but try not to over analyse their behaviours, newborns are inconsistent and will have good days and bad days no matter what sleeping bags you put them in, what temperature you have your heater on or what song you sing to them before bed! #keepitsimple #trynoottooveranalyse #sleepandsettling #consistencyiskey #newbornbaby #sleeppromotessleep @evokeimages See more

07.01.2022 Our hearts are breaking for the loss of our beautiful friend and colleague, Torie. I am sure many of you were lucky to have had her care for you. She was a wonderful midwife and we feel privileged to have had the pleasure of working alongside her. It was always a joy to be on shift with Torie and our unit will miss her terribly. We are keeping her family in our thoughts and prayers especially her husband and her 3 sweet babies. Fly high gorgeous Torie . https://www.gofundme.com/f/victoria-passing-away

06.01.2022 Happy Mother's Day. For our new mums who maybe sleep deprived, sore and still a little battered from birth and overwhelmed with the new chapter of their story. For all our new mums to be, waiting in anticipation for the story to unfold. For all the mums whose story didn't go the way they had planned and are hard in the trenches with no rest today. For all who are stepping in to be mums, to all the grandma's, aunts, neighbours and teachers who are a mother figure. For all the women who ache to be mums. For all the people who today is triggering for whatever reason. We hope you take a little time out for a cuppa and give yourself a little love today

06.01.2022 Have you used a nipple shield? Nipple shields are made from a soft silicone and can help some women achieve a better latch of your baby to your breast if you are having issues. They are usually temporary and should be introduced once the milk is in. If you are using one, please make sure you have the correct fit and that it has been applied correctly as if this isn’t correct it can interfere with milk transfer or cause nipple damage. In time you and your baby will be ready to wean off the shields so be patient and keep persisting. Our favourite brand of shields are @medela_au so if you need one we have them for sale or if you need help breastfeeding with a shield please touch base with us. #toolsinthetoolbox #gethelp #breastfeedingtips #dowhatworks https://www.milc.net.au/collections/lactation/Breast-Care

04.01.2022 Today is world prematurity day. In Australia 27000 babies are born preterm each year year. Some of my most fondest memories are caring for the teeniest, tiny little humans who put up the strongest fight. So a shout out to all the prems and their families. It is often a long and rocky road in the NICU/SCN . #worldprematurityday #preterm #premature #miraclebabies

04.01.2022 I have done a lot of learning since Mabel's diagnosis came out of no where. This was never on my plan and we got sent on the off road version of life. In those early days my mind was on a constant loop full of panic, sadness, grief and a hell of a lot of fear. Just as I would try and find a little bit of peace, the loop would start again. I actually started to think I was going a little crazy until I opened this book! I read this book with mainly happy tears, happy just becau...se I got the reassurance that there really is light at the end of what seems like a never ending tunnel! Because I love this book, not only for parents drowning in a diagnosis but also for their friends and family and anyone else for that matter to gain a little more insight into raising a disabled child we are now stocking @the_special_book in the shop. In the lead up to mothers day I have 2 copies to give away to other special mums. Nominate yourself or someone you know by dm. #special #specialneedsparenting #disability #books #mothersday #reassurance #milcshop

03.01.2022 All the what if's, what could have been's and the reality of what is #internationalpregnancyandinfantlossday #pregnancylossawareness #infantlossawareness #alwaysremembered

03.01.2022 Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas. Wherever you are, we hope Santa found you and your day was filled with love. A big welcome to the world to our new little Christmas babies and to the babies celebrating the wonder of Christmas for the first time. Our thoughts are with those who have empty arms this year for whatever the reason may be. May you find some peace throughout the holiday season. We are still operating for consults however our little shop will be closed until Wednesday the 13th of Jan. #christmas2020 #milcshop

03.01.2022 Our favourite breastfeeding pillows are back in stock. Not an essential item for breastfeeding but using a pillow to feed can help you have your baby supported and closer to your breast which can aid in a more optimum attachment. This is especially useful if you are tempted to lean into your baby and put your breast to them rather than bringing the baby to the breast. It can also help with your posture in keeping your back straight which helps the strain on your neck and shoulders. Also helpful if you are suffering from the common pregnancy ailment of carpel tunnel which can make holding your baby a little tricky. #breastfeeding #breastfeedingpillows #milkbar #yourcomfortisimportanttoo

01.01.2022 We have been a little quiet on here lately!!!! Milc was born almost 10 years ago when Cassie took the leap into private practice starting Milc as a sole trader providing lactation consultancy! Seeing a need for greater maternal support I joined forces and together after some study, hoop jumping and more study we created a unique service offering antenatal classes, antenatal care and the heart of our service, postnatal and lactation support to the women in Orange and surrounds.... In 2016 we expanded into our little retail space all whilst working, consulting, studying and most importantly being mums and wives. It’s been busy but we are also proud of what we have achieved. so fulfilling and we are very proud of what 2 friends can achieve! Cassie has decided to head back to employment at the hospital now that her babies are older and they need her in a different way. Whilst the both of us are sad that our partnership has come to an end, Cassie is looking forward having more quality time with her family. She will still be doing what she loves and is passionate about working as part of the midwifery in the home program and I am sure many of you will be lucky enough to have her care for you. We always feel privileged for being allowed to be a part of your precious journey and we thank you for all your continued support throughout the years. As for Milc and our little Milcshop it is business as usual. And I would like to thank you for your patience during this time of transition as I work out how the hell I will do it without my partner! Cass, thanks for a wonderful 10 years. We should be proud of Milc as it really is a wonderful service and I do feel so happy that we have helped so many mums and families on their own transition into parenthood. We have high breastfeeding rates and that is really due to sitting on people's couches providing our number one secret receipe of reassurance. Thank you for holding down the fort especially whilst I struggled with my own transition into parenting Mabel, I know it wasn't easy for you during those years. I really wish you all the happiness and I am going to miss our Wednesdays together in the shop

01.01.2022 A great post to reinterate not to take the wait and see approach. #Repost @mrsspeechiep (@get_repost) But they could just be a late talker - well of course they could be! But, it also could be more than late talking. There’s no good way to tell early on and also, if it were my child, I’d want them to have the opportunity to communicate sooner and easier than later with more frustrations REGARDLESS of the cause for the speech/language delay! So if your child is not meeting milestones, go ahead and make the call- get some info and get your child some assistance if they need it! #normalizeintervention

01.01.2022 Baby waking up at night? Our favourite sleeping bags @merinokidsnz_aus go go bags are back in stock and can help keep them cozy all night long.

01.01.2022 We have been asked by a year 12 student from James Sheahan Catholic High School to help her collect some data for an assignment. If you can spare a few moments to complete a survey on the emotional wellbeing effects of a newborn child it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
