11.01.2022 Some of you may know that in a parallel world I work closely with very vulnerable and complex women who find themselves in very disadvantaged positions. Both them and their babies are often lacking in clothes and other baby ‘stuff’ - the nice things we take for granted for our newborns. So if you have any baby clothes/ items/ bassinet/ rockers etc will you please think of me if you can donate them to a good cause? Many have older babies too so all sizes welcome. Please call me or pm me as I can collect or you can bring to me of course Many thanks in advance.

11.01.2022 Attention Queenslanders We're in for some warm days. Let this be an important reminder that the temperature under the canopy of an enclosed pram can be up to 15 degrees hotter than outside Keep your baby cool and seek shade.

09.01.2022 Have you ever worried that your newborn fell asleep hungry after breastfeeding? "When a baby is hungry, he tends to clench his fists tightly and bring them towa...rd his face. If he falls asleep hungry, his fists usually stay clenched. But when he gets milk, he relaxes starting with his face. Then his shoulders relax, and finally those fists unclench. Eventually they're as limp as the rest of him. Think of his hands as a built-in fuel gauge." -- La Leche League's Womanly Art of Breastfeeding, 8th edition #listentoyourbaby #listentoyourself #bfsupport See more

07.01.2022 The key to understanding breastfeeding is knowing whether the baby is getting milk from the breast or not. This may sound "simplistic", but it is the key! Many ...people feel more confident about giving bottles because they feel that watching the baby empty the bottle and seeing the number of ounces or mls consumed tells them what they need to know about the baby's milk intake. They worry about not being able to tell whether the baby got breastmilk from the breast directly. But it is easy to tell when watching a baby breastfeeding at the breast. When the baby drinks from the breast, you can see that the baby is receiving milk from the breast. How? By observing the PAUSE in the baby's chin as the baby opens his/her mouth to the widest. Though the baby's jaw may move even without drinking, the baby's chin will only drop down and hold, with a PAUSE, as the baby receives milk. The longer the pause, the more milk the baby received. In these two photos you can see, first how the baby' s chin is at the uppermost position and in the second, how it has dropped down completely. Seeing this with a pause, before the baby closes again, tells you with certainty that the baby has just swallowed a mouthful of milk. And that gives you confidence to breastfeed or seek help with breastfeeding if necessary.
