🌸 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬 𝐔𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞 🌸

I wanted to share a little update about our Harborough class. As many of you know, I’ve been covering for our lovely instructor Siobhan since the beginning of January. I’m sure she wouldn’t mind me saying that she’s faced challenge after challenge with her health this year — she’s such a tough cookie 🍪 The lovely news is that, alongside all of this, she’s also been growing a baby! Her little girl arrived safely at home as planned earlier this month 👶💫

With her return date still uncertain, and me realising I need to find a bit more balance with work and family life, I’ve had to make the difficult decision to pause our Harborough class for now.

Our final class will be on Sunday 30th November. From December I’ll be starting to wind things down to enjoy the festive season with my little ones 🎅🏻

It’s absolutely not goodbye — you are always welcome to join us at our other venues, and I really do hope we’ll be able to open the doors again in Harborough in the future. It has been such a pleasure spending these Sunday afternoons with you all — I’ve loved every second. 💕

Thank you so much for being part of our Harborough group — it truly has been something amazing.

It’s been an absolute honour and priviledge to be a part of your story, and hopefully, not the end!🌷

This week in class we’ll be talking all about storing breast milk safely — it’s one of those things that sounds complicated but really isn’t! 💛

The basics are simple: always use a clean container, and label it with the date and time you expressed. Store milk in the fridge if you’re using it within a few days, or in the freezer if you want to keep it for longer. Try to keep it in the back of the fridge or freezer, where the temperature is more stable, rather than in the door. And remember, once milk is thawed, it should be used straight away.

Little practical tips like storing in small amounts, warming gently in a bowl of water rather than the microwave, and keeping track of what’s already in the fridge can make life so much easier. A bit of planning goes a long way, and it means you’ve always got milk ready when your baby needs it. 🍼

This week, we received the sad news that our wonderful LivingWell Health Club venue will be permanently closing at the end of December 2025.

Until we close our doors for the festive period, classes will continue to run as normal 🩱

We’ll be working hard to find a new home for our Wednesday evening classes, and look forward to welcoming you back in 2026 💪🏻

I want to extend a huge thank you to the incredible .leicester team, who have been the most welcoming and lovely bunch since we arrived 18 months ago. We wish you all the very best in your future endeavours — it’s been such a pleasure working alongside you 🤍

🌸 𝐓𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐜 𝐎𝐟 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤: 𝐇𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 🌸

Hand expressing is a gentle and useful way to collect breast milk using your hands — no pump needed. It can be helpful in lots of situations, both before and after birth.

Some women choose to practise hand expressing from around 36 weeks of pregnancy, collecting small amounts of colostrum to use after birth. It’s also a great skill to know postnatally — especially if your baby is finding it hard to latch, your breasts feel full or engorged, or you want to collect milk to give later.

Learning to hand express can help you feel more confident, support your milk supply, and make those early days a little smoother. If you’d like to try, your midwife or infant feeding team can show you how safely.

💛 Every drop counts — and even a few millilitres of colostrum are full of goodness for your baby.
