This week we're shining a light on Abbey from Abbey the Midwife.

I've known Abbey for years, we worked together at KEMH before we each branched out to follow our passions and create our own niche services for mums.

Abbey has created Journey to Motherhood, an online program drawing on more than 20 years of birth preparation experience, supporting women through pregnancy, labour, birth and the early days of motherhood.

Inside, you'll find practical and emotional preparation, evidence-based information, downloadable resources, and the option for monthly Q&As with Abbey herself, so you always have somewhere to turn with your questions.

What I love most is that this isn't about preparing you for one particular kind of birth. It's about helping you understand your options, build your confidence, and feel reassured as you navigate the birth that's right for you.

As mums, we know how much of a difference it makes to feel informed and supported going into birth and Abbey has poured that experience into something families can access anytime.

Make sure you check out Journey to Motherhood and show Abbey some love.

I recently had the privilege of attending the Infant Oral Function & Feeding Masterclass, presented by Kate Roche and Dr Justin Roche from the National Tongue Tie Centre in Ireland.

Twenty-five plus years into this career, and I still make it a priority to keep learning. Lactation and infant feeding is an area that's constantly evolving, and I believe that being the best support I can be for you and your baby means staying right up to date with the latest research, teachings and practices from around the world.

This masterclass focused on infant oral function and feeding, with a real depth of expertise brought all the way from Ireland's leading tongue tie centre.

- Global research and best practice
- The latest evidence around oral function and feeding
- Tongue tie assessment and management
- Learning from leaders in the field, wherever they're based

Whatever is happening in your feeding journey, I want you to feel confident that the advice and support you're receiving from me is current, evidence-based and informed by the best minds in this space, not just here in Perth, but globally.

Supporting your feeding journey with evidence-based care.

🍽️ Top 5 Nourishing Foods for Breastfeeding

Between endless feeds, broken sleep and caring for a newborn, it's easy to put your own nutrition at the bottom of the list. But breastfeeding is hard work, so nourishing yourself matters too.

I asked Maddi, the dietitian who shares our clinic space at FitRight, to share her top picks for nourishing staples to keep on rotation while breastfeeding. Swipe through for her top 5! 🤍

Eating well doesn't have to be complicated. A few nutrient-rich staples on hand can make all the difference, even on the busiest days.

Ok Insta family…. I need your suggestions and recommendations!!

Last time we went to GF day In Melbourne they had a whole event on near the MCG with big screens, beer gardens and entertainment, the atmosphere was amazing! You could almost feel the vibe of the crowd from inside the stadium and it was a great day.

This week we're shining a light on Briony from Assured Parenting.

I refer to Briony a lot, she's an absolute wealth of knowledge for mums in our community, and her advice is always so practical and sensible.

Briony created Assured Parenting because she believes health ad
vice should be tailored, practical and family-centred. As a mum herself, she knows parenting isn't always easy, and that finding what actually works for your family matters.

Assured Parenting brings accessible child and family health support right into the community, with drop-in clinics at local pharmacies and close ties with other health professionals — creating more connected care for families across Perth.
As parents, we know how valuable it is to have caring professionals in our corner, and Briony is one of those people who genuinely makes a difference.

Make sure you check out Assured Parenting and show Briony some love.

Myth Busting Monday đź’—

Myth: Your baby is just lazy at the breast.

FALSE.

There's no such thing as a "lazy" baby. If a baby seems sleepy, disinterested, or not actively feeding, there's almost always a reason, and it's not a personality trait.

It could be tongue function, positioning, birth trauma, tiredness, or simply that they're still learning. Labeling it as laziness misses the opportunity to actually understand and support what's going on.

If this sounds familiar, a proper assessment can uncover the real cause.

This week we're shining a light on Claire from Chameleon Collars.

Almost six years ago, Claire packed up her life in Africa and moved to Australia with her two rescue dogs, Ruby and Walter. Before leaving, she had two beautiful beaded leather collars hand made for them, bright, bold and unmistakably African.

Every walk brought the same question from strangers: "Where did you get those beautiful collars?" That's when the seed for Chameleon Collars was planted.

Claire wanted to bring this African artistry to Australian dog lovers the right way, by supporting an African business and the incredible artisans behind each piece. Today, a team of 40 beaders hand-make every collar, with each one taking around two days and every bead hand-sewn. No shortcuts, no mass production.

What began as two collars for her own dogs has grown into a business now in its third year, with collars, leads, cat collars, bag straps and belts finding their way to dogs all across Australia.

For Claire, it's more than dog accessories. It's a connection between two continents and a way of keeping a little piece of Africa close.

Make sure you check out Chameleon Collars and show Claire some love!

Sometimes babies need a little extra time to learn how to breastfeed and that's completely normal. In those early days, expressing can be one of the best ways to protect your milk supply while they get there.

But not all pumps are created equal, and having the right one can make a real difference to comfort and efficiency.

I use and recommend Spectra pumps for my own clients. They're gentle, effective, and a great option whether you're expressing occasionally or need a reliable pump for more regular use. Spectra pumps are also stocked in clinic, so same-day pick up is available.

If you'd like to try before you commit, we also offer a Spectra rental service through the clinic, a great option if you're not sure yet how much pumping you'll need, or want to test it out before buying.

Once breastfeeding is well established, a portable, hands-free pump can also be a great option for mums who are expressing on the go, back at work, or simply want more flexibility. I also stock Zen Mumma pumps for exactly this stage.

One thing that's often overlooked? Fl**ge size. Getting the correct fit is one of the biggest factors in successful, comfortable expressing, and using the wrong size can mean discomfort and reduced milk output, even with a great pump.

We offer fl**ge size fitting and expressing consults, so you can feel confident your setup is actually working for you.
