Our understanding of neurodivergence among women is growing, but it remains underdone in the postpartum space and more specifically, how neurodivergence and breastfeeding interact together.

Anyone who knows me knows I love a good survey, rabbit hole down a niche topic and the lived experience. I have my own experience navigating AuDHD while breastfeeding, and breastfeeding while living in an AuDHD brain, but that’s only my experience.

My goal for 2026 is to be able to make the most inclusive and supportive resource for ND women and practitioners to access and use to better understand what it’s like navigating this integral part of early motherhood with a different brain.

If this is you, I’d be enormously grateful if you’d consider completing the survey above. If you have any questions, please drop them below or send me a DM if you feel more comfortable.

We’re in this together 🧡

Our ni**le measuring tool has been downloaded by THOUSANDS of women (pinch me!) over the last 3 and a bit years, but it was time for a glow up and a refinement of advice.

Originally created because there was such little support for pumping mums in Australia and I was on a mission to change that. I felt like salmon swimming upstream (and still do some days), this simple little tool has connected me with so many of you. Some have become clients, most have simply found their way to my page or website and learnt from me.

Things change though! So the 2.0 edition is live and free to use. It features…
✨ 10-22mm sizing
✨Triple S sizing guidelines
✨Links to ways we can support you further

If you support women in the postpartum period and have this saved or printed, I encourage you to refresh your resources and use this one so that your advice is up to date.

Here’s to thousands more downloads!

Some people have asked over the years if I’m honest wth clients in the same way I am with friends…

As health professionals, we are taught and expected to separate ourselves from our work and clients. I try to do that, but I am also a 30-something year old mum in the same season you are in. I understand the depths of these trenches! I will also never gate keep information. Clients come to me for holistic assessment and support. They don’t just want another management plan. They are drowning in them! They want answers, cause and effect, a “why”, a “how”, an honest picture of risks and benefits.

I am truly so grateful to have the most amazing clients who trust me and pour their time, energy and devotion into caring for their babies, themselves and their feeding journeys. They always have and always will receive care that is at the same level of best friend energy honesty, like an extension of family. The respect goes both ways, deeply 🧡

On the list of things that make my blood boil is all the misinformation sprouted about how to manage “blocked ducts” (proper name- ductal narrowing) or mastitis.

I’ve seen some truly horrific consequences of what started out so minor, but was managed SO poorly!

Don’t clear it. There is nothing to clear. Rather… calm it!
Think cold packs, lymphatic massage, anti-inflammatory medication or homeopathics, rhythmic feeding in response to your baby.

When clients don’t prioritise their own posture and body mechanics, I often joke that they’ll go and get a massage and be asked “Are you breastfeeding?” out of the blue. Breastfeeding mums spend a lot of time doing so, and poor support and positioning for YOU adds up.

⚠️Headaches
⚠️Shoulder tension
⚠️Back pain

If you need to sit up to start a feed, no sweat. Once baby is latched, comfortable and sucking well, keep a firm hold and lean back. Pop some pillows under your arms, feet up.

Drop your jaw.
Drop your shoulders.
Breathe in and a long breath out. 🧘‍♀️

This was one of the most magical changes to feel within my body. My head, finally stacking over my spine without effort or thought. I remember being in Highschool and a physios taping my back because my posture was so bad. No matter what I tried, it was a push/pull fight within my body.

4 weeks post release and I still have mild tension at the base of my skull but it’s so much better in my shoulders and upper back. It hasn’t disappeared because there’s been decades of compensation, but the proof is in the pudding ✨

Look, I’m not one to beat around the bush 😂 but this is 11pm honesty after multiple working days. Tell me I’m not alone?...

T-Minus two days until I have my tongue tie release 👅

There is a few generations of adults with undiagnosed tongue ties and symptoms that have been ignored. I have connected with so many of you learning about your own tongue ties (mostly since having a child with one) and I am more than happy to share my own personal experience with you. I’ve known I had a tongue tie for about 11 years now and it honestly makes so much sense! However we often only link symptoms to infants, but it’s truly wild if we imagine those symptoms magically dissipate as we age.

As always, this is my own experience and does not constitute individual medical advice. Please see a dentist or bodyworker experienced in oral function for investigation, diagnosis and individual treatment planning.
