Mastitis Guidelines (New):

Avoid heat,
Avoid massage (other than extremely light superficial stuff),
Avoid extra pumping to 'empty' breasts
Continue to feed baby responsively on both sides
Cold compresses reduce inflammation & swelling (and can help with pain relief)

Take it easy, go back to basics, snuggle up with baby ☺️

If it gets worse, doesn't improve or you need support, get in touch with your healthcare provider.

National Breastfeeding Helpline is also open 24/7, run by trained volunteers and free to access 🙌

Period pains,
Digestive issues,
Endometriosis/Adenomyosis
PCOS

Or have had abdominal investigations or surgery

Then this blog post is for you! 🥰

Melyn got a fresh coat of paint and a fancy new sign for it's birthday! ✨️

Painting breeze block isn't fun but convinced by the 127th coat, it will get easier! 🤣

Did you know chiropractors do 30+ hours of CPD each year? 🥳

I do an additional portion of training for my voluntary role supporting breastfeeding, but love it that my practice overlaps!
