Did you know we have a brilliant infant feeding team that host daily talks on our postnatal ward?

The lunchtime sessions were introduced to help new parents get off to the best start with feeding and bonding with their baby.

The infant feeding team run the lunchtime talks in the parent room and are available to answer any questions and help support new parents.

Human milk is the only biologically active food on the planet.
It contains living cells, stem cells, immunoglobulins, lysozymes, lactoferrin, HMOs, hormones, cytokines, enzymes, microRNA, antimicrobials, antivirals, and over 1,000 molecular components that scientists are still discovering.

Every single feed triggers a biochemical feedback loop:
your baby’s saliva signals your mammary glands, your glands adjust the concentration of antibodies, and the composition of your milk shifts within minutes to meet that exact need.

Breast milk is not “liquid gold” because it’s cute it’s liquid gold because it is a dynamic, species-specific, immunologically active substance engineered by human evolution to protect human infants.

The more we study it, the clearer it becomes:
breast milk isn’t just nutrition it’s a living system.
A biological masterpiece that no lab has ever been able to duplicate.

Why Aren’t More Breech Babies Born at Home? by Karin Peacock
I have fewer than 100 births under my belt. As a student midwife, I am always asking questions and wondering about the “whys” of birth. The majority of my birth work has been done within the walls of a free-standing birth center attended by local CNMs and CPMs and only serving low-risk mothers. However, after recently witnessing my first frank breech delivery at a homebirth, I realized how relaxed, gentle and normal breech birth can be. I can’t stop asking the world, “Why aren’t more breech babies born at home?”

✨ And that’s the end of expanding on the word Pregnancy! 🌸
What are your thoughts? 💭

I have to laugh though — my chicken weekend got way more views 🤣🤣
And yes… in the last part of this carousel, I do look like I’m sitting very low 😅 but hey, the message is what matters! 💕 (chexk out my instagram post lol)

We carry our babies for roughly nine months (give or take), and yet we start fearing birth so early in pregnancy — almost giving our minds permission to keep building that fear. 🌀 But when you really think about it, it’s amazing. You’re growing and nurturing a whole human being. 👶💖 How incredible are our bodies?! 💪✨

We just need to remind our minds how strong we truly are — and build on that strength instead of fear. 🌿💫
