Today is Jess’s last day at the office before going on maternity leave and we are all pretending that it just isn’t happening. The privilege of working with Jess is never missed. The community love you and we are so excited you are moving into this next stage of life being the incredible mum that you are. She says she will be joining the TLC parent group when she is ready so if you are missing her too much you’ll know where to find her. We love and appreciate you Jess.

People often ask us when they should bring their new bubbas in to get checked, and honestly, there's no time too soon! In saying that, we always tell parents to come on in whenever THEY are ready, as having a baby is a huge adjustment! (See what we did there? 🤪) We know you might be ready to get outside your 4 walls on day 2, but it may be weeks until you're ready to head out. Whenever you're ready, we are here!

A timely reminder for all breastfeeding clients out there. Please avoid heat and massage of the breast. As lactation consultants it is so important that we keep spreading the news. And if you are just having a conversation with someone who has started feeding. Just say. “Did you know they changed the recommendations for mastitis and that massage and heat are no longer recommended. Ice is the best thing you can do and consult an ibclc early!

Feeling deflated off the back of 3 local mums requiring hospital admission for a breast abscess caused by massaging, heat and over production.
This post is another plea to spread the word about NOT MASSAGING 🙏🙏🙏
These mums were not clients of mine.
None of the mums under my care and watch suffer with mastitis or its complications.
Two of these mums I am now involved with, but they found me too late 😔
Totally preventable that’s the sad part!!
Now they are in a hospital system that’s doing its best but does not have any surgeons trained in lactation 😔
Yes you read this right!!!🤯🤯🤯🤯
In fact there are currently only 2 breast surgeons in the world 🌎 who are also trained & knowledgeable in breastfeeding medicine 🤯🤯
Both are in the US - one is Dr Katrina Mitchell and the other is a colleague of Katrina’s who she shared her knowledge with.
This is a world wide social injustice!!
This would not be the case if men’s breasts could lactate and feed a baby!! 😡 We would have the best surgical care and trained lactation surgeons for them. 🤷‍♀️
These last 2 weeks have been hard knowing that I could of easily prevented what these mums are now experiencing 😔
The suffering is indescribable 😔
No one talks about the physical and mental scares these women will carry for life.
Their breasts are a mess 😔
One has already lost milk production in her affected breast. 😔
I am desperately trying to keep her breastfeeding going using only one breast now if we can 🙏
Prevention is the only way I can really help until Dr Katrina Mitchell can teach the medical world a better, more effective & simpler way to manage & resolve a breast abscess in a lactating breast 😐 She can drain and cure an abscess effectively with one procedure in her office without a mum having to be even admitted to hospital 🙌
Any person still supporting the recommendation to use heat and any repeated massage, no matter how gentle is risking the health of lactating mothers and their babies!!
Simple as that 🤷‍♀️
Seek expert lactation help if you are experiencing any swelling, inflammation or lumps in your breasts and please keep hands off your breasts!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
