Worried about low milk supply or that you won’t make enough milk for your baby?

This is my go-to tip that I share with every single family I work with, whether their baby is 1 hour old or 1 year old.

Skin to skin.

It sounds simple, but it is one of the most powerful and evidence-based ways to support breastfeeding and milk production.

Holding your baby skin to skin and allowing them unlimited access to your breasts means they can feed as often as they need to. No schedules, no pressure, just responsive feeding.

This frequent, instinctive feeding is exactly what signals your body to make more milk. It not only helps to increase your supply, but it helps to protect and future proof it too.

It also supports bonding, regulates your baby’s temperature, heart rate and breathing, and helps both of you feel calmer and more connected.

This is exactly the kind of foundational, confidence-building knowledge I teach inside my Preparing to Breastfeed course, so you know what to do from the very beginning and feel confident that your supply is everything it needs to be as soon as your baby arrives.

If you’re pregnant or already breastfeeding and want to feel more confident about your milk supply, this is for you.

Follow me for more breastfeeding support and gentle, evidence-based guidance.

I hear it so often… parents being told their baby has “colic” and to just wait it out because it’s “normal”.

But it doesn’t sit right, does it?

Because deep down, you can see your baby is uncomfortable.

It might be common, but it isn’t normal.

“Colic” is not a diagnosis. It’s a label used when a baby is crying excessively.
Crying is a symptom, not the cause.

There is always a reason behind a baby being this unsettled.

If an adult was in that level of discomfort, we wouldn’t accept being told “it’s just colic, wait it out”. We would look for the cause and treat it.

Babies deserve the same.

Very often, the root cause links back to feeding. This can be breastfeeding or bottle feeding. A feeding assessment can highlight issues with latch, positioning, milk flow, air intake or discomfort during feeds that may be contributing to your baby’s distress.

Often small, gentle tweaks can make a really big difference.

You don’t have to just get through it.

If your baby is crying for long periods, seems uncomfortable, or feeding doesn’t feel quite right, support is available.

I offer 1:1 feeding support to help you understand what’s going on and feel confident supporting your baby. Both online and in person.

Give the gift every new mum truly needs: confidence

Our Preparing to Breastfeed course isn’t just information, it’s reassurance, guidance, and support when it matters most. So many parents stop breastfeeding earlier than they hoped, not because they can’t, but because they didn’t get the support they deserved.

This is where you can change that.

Whether you’re buying for a baby shower, a mum-to-be, or a new parent navigating those early days, this course empowers them with real knowledge, practical tools, and the confidence to feed their baby their way.

✨ Expert guidance
✨ Real-life preparation
✨ Confidence from day one

Because the best gift isn’t just for the baby, it’s for the parent who’s learning, growing, and showing up every single day.

🎁 Give a gift that lasts longer than flowers. Give confidence.

Breastfeeding isn’t always easy and that’s completely normal. Many new mums face challenges that make feeding stressful, exhausting, or overwhelming.

You might be struggling with perceived low supply, engorgement, a shallow latch, cluster feeding, or night feeds. These are all normal parts of your baby’s biology and don’t mean you’re failing.

Lots of people suggest stopping breastfeeding when a mum is struggling, but in reality stopping breastfeeding isn’t always the answer. Breastfeeding releases oxytocin, the “happy hormone,” and giving up too soon can affect your mood and wellbeing. What helps most is support, reassurance, and trusting your instincts.

Swipe through to learn what’s normal and get practical tips to navigate each struggle.

Follow me for realistic guidance, nurturing advice, and support that trusts your instincts. You’re not alone.

Is your newborn's behaviour 'normal'?

'Normal' newborn behaviour isn’t the problem, our expectations are.

Somewhere along the way, we’ve lost trust in our instincts. We’ve been taught that “good” babies sleep through the night, feed on a schedule, and fit neatly into routines. But that’s not how humans are designed to thrive.

Newborns wake often. They feed unpredictably. They need you, a lot. That isn’t a flaw, it’s biology.

When we label normal behaviour as “difficult,” we put pressure on parents to fix something that was never broken.

What if instead of trying to make babies more convenient, we focused on supporting mothers and families better, learning to trust our instincts and understanding the biological norms of our babies?

Let’s come back to what’s normal. Let’s come back to trusting ourselves. Not just for our littles, but for us as parents.

Follow me for realistic expectations, honest support, and a more grounded way to navigate early motherhood.

Breastfeeding with a toddler (or multiple kids) around can feel… a lot 😅

You finally sit down to feed your baby and suddenly everyone needs you. Snacks. Toys. Attention. Right now.

With National Siblings Day today, this one’s for all the mums navigating feeding a new baby while loving on their older little ones too 🤍

This is where my “sh*t basket” comes in 👀

It’s honestly one of the simplest things I’ve used with my own babies and with families I support.

A basket filled with all those random bits you’d usually throw away…
– McDonald’s toys
– party bag tat
– old remotes or phones
– bits and bobs they’ve forgotten about

✨ The key? They ONLY get it when you’re feeding

It keeps them busy, it feels like a treat, and it gives you that little bit of space to focus on feeding your baby calmly.

You can even rotate two baskets to keep it fresh 👏

If you’re pregnant with baby number two (or three!) or currently juggling feeding with older children… save this. You will thank yourself later 🤍

Why the first 72 hours after birth matter more than most parents are ever told…

So many feeding decisions are made in those early days, often when you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and unsure what’s normal.

Here’s what you need to know:

Your body has already been preparing for your baby long before birth. Colostrum (your first milk) starts developing from around 16 weeks of pregnancy and is perfectly designed to meet your baby’s needs in the first few days, even in small amounts.

It’s also completely normal for newborns to lose a little weight after birth. This doesn’t automatically mean your baby isn’t getting enough milk, but without the right information, it’s easy to doubt yourself.

Many parents are advised to “top up” with formula just in case. But early supplementation, when not medically needed, can interfere with how your milk supply is established and is linked to shorter breastfeeding journeys.

And here’s the part that matters most:
Parents who feel informed, prepared, and supported are far more likely to continue feeding in a way that works for them.

This isn’t about pressure or perfection, it’s about understanding what’s normal, how your body works, and what your baby actually needs, so you can make confident, informed choices from the very beginning.

✨ If you’re pregnant and want to feel calm, prepared, and supported before your baby arrives, my Preparing to Breastfeed course gives you practical, evidence-based guidance without judgement.

20/02/2026

That viral breastfeeding diagram looks scientific but it is misleading. Many parents believe breasts store milk in large pockets, but in reality, milk is made continuously in microscopic alveoli and adjusts to your baby’s feeding patterns. Breasts are dynamic glands, not storage containers.

Understanding how milk production really works can help you:

• Reduce anxiety about milk supply
• Build confidence in breastfeeding
• Understand cluster feeding and frequent feeds are normal
• Recognize that feeling “empty” does not mean you are not producing enough milk

Evidence-based lactation knowledge matters more than outdated diagrams. Learn the real science of breastfeeding to support a healthy mother-baby bond.

💛 Save this for reassurance

Why Lactose-Free Isn’t the Answer for Almost All Babies…

Most babies aren’t actually lactose intolerant. Lactose is the main carbohydrate in human milk and it’s essential for brain growth, gut development and overall health. Taking it away long term can have a real impact on how babies grow and thrive.

Lactose-free formula is often sold as the answer to wind, reflux or tummy upset, but in reality, this is just another marketing tool.
