More than half of the people who train with me are not Irish. Here are two of them; Aurore from France and Marion from Germany. Aurore started her training in 2023 and had a baby along the way. My training enabled her to pace herself and to take her time, Marion started her training last year and worked through all the assessments in six months.

This week is the European Doula Network Awarennes week. The theme for 2026 is "7 Shades of Doula."

For me the primary role of a doula is supporting everyone (pregnant person, partners, baby, wider family and siblings), going through the process of pregnancy, labour, birth and the postpartum . . . And helping them prepare and strengthen their coping skills for what will be a huge journey into the unknown and a major life transition.

Not only do I do that myself, but I enable others to do it to.

If you want to train as a doula chat to me, find out about my trainings, join the next one!

Postpartum Doula Training 2026 starts next week. It includes full Lactation Doula Training. €200 off for first 6 people joining. See link in bio for more info or DM me

Hard to believe this bonnie baby is TEN YEARS old today. Happy Birthday Bridg and happy birthing day Gemma McGowan

It only feels like yesterday! It's a reminder that I have been douling a long time and accumulated a lot of doula wisdom.

It's all in my doula trainings.

Special offer on postnatal doula training currently available.

This day last year this beautiful baby girl arrived earthside in the surprising peace and tranquility of a hospital birthing suite. Her mama was strong, brave and determined and without much fuss in the end welcomed her to her new found home with few witnesses and no interventions.

She came in the nick of time to avoid being called Bridget and being born on St Patrick's day. Now we know her its obvious that this strong baba with the spirit of Bridget the goddess within her would not be overshadowed by Patrick;s Day, no not at all!

Happy International Women's Day and Happy 60th Birthday La Leche League!

It's always been such a priviledge to be a La Leche League Leader and to support so many thousands of families in their breastfeeding journey.

I became an accredited Leader in 2005 and then went on to become an accredited Board Certified Lactation Consultant in 2020. I have seen every aspect of breastfeeding in my support work and worked with adopted babies, surrogate babies, preemie babies, babies with two mothers, twins and triplets as well as people with low milk supply, over milk supply, those exclusively breastfeeding, combined feeding, exclusively pumping, those who have donated their milk and those who have received milk from another mother and also those who have only fed for a few precious days.

My passion has always been breastfeeding and I have never stopped learning. At this year's LLL conference we revisited the preemie baby with Dr. Nils Bergman.

I bring all my 21 years of professional breastfeeding knowledge to all my trainings. Coming up at the end of the month is my Postnatal Doula Training and next month there is my Lactation Doula Training. For more info see the website or drop me an email at drkrysia@gmail.com

Our current and retired Leaders gathered on Friday for a special afternoon tea to celebrate our tireless voluntary work for the last 60 years.

We have spent the weekend hearing talks from inspirational women and gathering together in celebration and for the pursuit of continued learning.

On International Women’s Day we reaffirm our commitment to supporting all those who wish to breastfeed their children in Ireland.

Happy International Women's Day from all at La Leche League of Ireland.

Krysia Lynch, a maternity care advocate, raised concerns for women who have had a caesarean section and need supports in hospital.

“In the run-up to Christmas, our already high caesarean section and induction rates become even higher,” she said.

“The post-natal wards are absolutely packed. That means the ratio of babies and women to midwives is going to be at its poorest, because we have our wards absolutely packed.”

She called for more funding and investment in maternity services, including better access to community care post-natally to reduce these risks for next winter.

“Many women would like to see their mother or their sister or their friend [in hospital], someone who brings a different perspective to them, especially if they’re having their first baby,” she said.

HSE chief clinical officer Dr Colm Henry cautioned cases could rise again as people socialise more over the holiday period
