✨ NEW CLASSES ANNOUNCED — Gledswood Hills ✨
Antenatal Breastfeeding Education at The Motherhood Centre

I’m so excited to share that I’ll now be teaching in-person antenatal breastfeeding classes at the beautiful Motherhood Centre in Gledswood Hills. Classes will be held monthly

These classes are designed for expecting parents between 26–36 weeks, giving you the chance to learn everything you need before your baby arrives — so you can feel confident, prepared, and supported from the very first feed.

🌸 What we cover:
• How your breasts make milk
• Understanding latch & positioning
• Normal newborn feeding behaviours
• Early hunger cues & responsive feeding
• How to prevent pain and protect supply
• Hand expressing, storing colostrum & building confidence for those early days
• Partner support roles
• What’s normal… and when to reach out for help

This gentle, informative session is taught by me — Midwife Suzi, Private Midwife & IBCLC — so you’ll receive evidence-based guidance and real-world support rooted in years of experience.

✨ Perfect for first-time parents, rainbow families, VBAC journeys, and anyone wanting a positive, empowered start to breastfeeding.

📍 Location: The Motherhood Centre, Gledswood Hills
📅 2026 Dates: January 24 · February 7 · March 7 · April 4 · May 2 · June 6

To register, send me a message anytime — I’d love to support you on your breastfeeding journey. 🤍

This moment is extra special for me because this is my grandson with his new cousin. Welcoming a new baby is a big change for toddlers. You can help your little one feel included, safe, and ready with simple steps. You can talk early, use clear language, and involve them in small ways so they feel part of the journey.

If you want support with preparing your toddler or planning for life with a newborn, send me a message. I can guide you through it.

As your midwife, I want to support you in doing all you can to reduce the risk of perineal tears because healing gently means a more comfortable postpartum journey.

According to the RCOG, here are some evidence-based steps that can help:

From around 35 weeks, doing daily perineal massage (you or your partner) can increase tissue flexibility and may lower the chance of more serious tears.

During labour, ask your care provider about manual perineal protection — gentle support (“hands-on”) while baby’s head is born can make a difference.

Use a warm compress on the perineum in the pushing phase. A warm pad held against the area can help tissues stretch more gently.

Choose birth positions that feel right to you — side-lying, hands-and-knees, or all-fours can reduce stress on the perineum during birth.

If you’d like to add perineal massage into your birth plan, or you want to talk through your perineal health options, I’m here for you. 💛

Many mums feel confused when symptoms show up, so I want you to feel clear and supported. Swipe right to see the list.

Your body gives you signs and you can act early. You can ease inflammation, protect your supply, and stay comfortable with simple steps that match the new guidance.

If you want answers that fit your situation, book a schedule with me and get the care you deserve.

You don’t have to navigate perinatal mental health alone. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or just not quite yourself, reaching out is a powerful first step. You deserve support, clarity, and someone who listens without judgment.

If you ever need to talk, you can always reach out to a midwife like me. I’m here to help you feel safe, supported, and understood every step of the way.

The holidays can be such a special (and sometimes stressful) time especially when you’re travelling with your new little love.
Here are a few things to keep in mind before you set off 🎄

1️⃣ Plan around your baby’s rhythm
If you can, travel after feeds or naps, it makes the journey smoother for everyone.

2️⃣ Keep essentials close
Pack extra nappies, wipes, burp cloths, and a change of clothes (for both of you!).

3️⃣ Feeding on the go
Whether you’re breastfeeding or bottle-feeding, find a quiet space where you can relax and remember, fed is best wherever you are 💕

4️⃣ Dress in layers
Planes, cars, and airports can all vary in temperature, easy-to-remove layers help keep your baby comfortable.

5️⃣ Take it slow
Babies pick up on your energy, give yourself grace, rest when you can, and don’t worry about sticking to a perfect schedule.

✨ The key? Flexibility and kindness (for you and baby!).

If you’d like more personalised postnatal or feeding support, I offer gentle, supportive care for new parents — in-person and via Telehealth (bulk billed).

📩 DM me anytime to chat about how I can support your journey this season.

Packing for a summer birth? ☀️
You don’t need to bring everything, just the things that will keep you cool, comfortable, and confident as you welcome your little one.

Think light layers, hydration, and comfort both for you and baby. Hospitals can get warm (and sometimes chilly at night), so pack smart with breathable fabrics and a few easy essentials.

And remember mama, it’s not just about what’s in the bag, but how ready and supported you feel walking into birth 💕

If you’re due this summer and want to feel calm, informed, and prepared. I’d love to support you with antenatal care and classes.
