It was a great pleasure to host our visiting midwife colleagues from New Zealand! 🌿

We had an amazing afternoon comparing practice policies and government influences on the ability of midwives to thrive or not. We also talked about our midwife origin stories and our goals to keep expanding midwifery in our communities.

We are forever grateful for their gift of sacred birth protection from their Māori culture. We loved meeting you and hope to see you sometime again! 🤍✨

Do you know a breast feeding mother who would be keen to donate some milk to help other babies? If so call us on 03 375 6281 ext 9020 and leave us a message. One of our volunteers will call back

Talking about SUDI isn’t easy, but prevention is powerful. Let’s talk about safe sleep and why it’s important 🫶🏽
