Some days your let-down is instant.
Other days… it’s like your b***s didn’t get the memo 😅
You finally sit down, bub is latched, your coffee has obvs gone cold and nothing is happening.
You’re not imagining it. Stress, skipping meals, or forgetting to drink your water (again 🙃) can all slow your milk flow.

A few things that can really help:
🩷 Take a few deep breaths before feeding, it helps you relax (and your milk too)
🩷 A warm shower or compress before a feed
🩷 A little massage or hand express for a minute before latching
🩷 Keep a big water bottle nearby, hydration really matters (and then remember to drink it!)

It’s a lot, I know. You’re doing so much already.
Sometimes your body just needs a gentle reminder… and maybe some cookies 😏🍪

Do you ever look around and think-
Wow I feel like I’m doing it all… and barely holding it together? 🥺
Between feeds, washing piles, and the never-ending to-do lists, it’s no wonder your energy’s gone missing.

Breastfeeding alone burns around 400–500 extra calories a day, and that’s before you’ve even opened your laptop or reheated your cuppa for the third time ☕️
So if you’re tired, hungry, or feeling a bit meh lately, it’s not you!

You’re doing big, beautiful work that deserves a little more fuel and a lot more grace 💕
✨ Keep snacks close (cookies totally count😏)
✨ Drink water every feed
✨ Take that deep breath… because you’re doing enough!

Getting things sorted for next week … 👀
November is shaping up to be a big one, and I’ve got the cookie stash and cuppa ready 🍪☕
Sometimes the only way to survive the neverending to-do list is, with a cuppa, a cookie, and pretending you’ve got your sh! # together 😅

How are you treating yourself this Friday? 💕

Nap-trapped.

One day… ONE DAY… I’ll drink my hot chocolate hot.

Motherhood is basically 90% detective work.
Why are they crying? Hungry? Tired? Wind? Or did they just decide that your left arm is lava but your right arm is life?

The other 10%? Those little wins; the feed where they latch without a fuss, the cuddle that makes the day’s chaos melt away, or actually getting to sip your hot chocolate before it turns into cold chocolate.

If you’re in the thick of it right now, we see you! and we’ve got a few treats to make those rare hot-drink moments even better. You’ll find them over at thelactationstation.co.nz 💕

Breastfeeding is beautiful, but it’s not meant to be done alone. 💕
From free helplines to local groups and late-night Facebook threads, support is out there for NZ mums, and it really does take a village.

This post is your reminder that you’re not alone, and your village is only a message, phone call, or cookie 🍪 away. 😘

✨ Small Moments, Big Wins ✨
This World Breastfeeding Week, we’re celebrating the real, raw, everyday moments of breastfeeding.
The 3am feeds.
The leaky letdowns.
The wins that don’t make it to your camera roll, but mean everything.

It’s easy to focus on the big milestones… but it’s the little things that carry us through 🩷

This one’s for the mums who:
✨ Asked for help
✨ Cried, and tried again
✨ Pumped in the car
✨ Said “this is enough”
✨ Fed their babies with love, in any form

Here’s to you, for showing up, for pushing through, for doing your best. We see you, and you’re doing amazing, mama.

It’s World Breastfeeding Week 🩷

This week isn’t just about celebrating breastfeeding, it’s about recognising how much support parents actually need (because let’s be honest, it can be a lot).

Since taking over The Lactation Station a year ago, we’ve had so many chats with mums in all kinds of feeding seasons; the pumping-all-night crew, the cluster-feeding warriors, the mix feeders, the formula feeders, the “I’m just trying my best” mama (we see you).

And honestly, what we’ve learned is this: feeding is never just about food. It’s emotional, it’s exhausting, it’s full of pressure, and it deserves support, not judgement.

This year’s theme is all about building better support in workplaces and communities. Because no one should feel like they have to choose between feeding their baby and getting on with life.

Here’s to compassion, not comparison
You’re doing a bloody good job.

Our Story

Renee Ball, the founder of The Lactation Station, was born to help others. She began her career as a childcare provider, primarily with newborns. Renee then began studies in Midwifery before becoming a mother herself.

Some would say Renee was destined to be in the baking industry. Her father was one of New Zealand’s top bakers and she worked in the family bakeries from an early age. Although a career in baking was never planned, Renee began making lactation cookies for herself while at home with her baby daughter Honor. With the support of her husband Tim, this is where the journey started.

2.5 years after taking the leap into a NZ registered company, Renee has now taken The Lactation Station nationwide with nearly 100 stockists and is the leading seller in edible lactation products within New Zealand. To follow more of behind the scenes of The Lactation Station and Renee’s journey of Motherhood to soon 2 children follow along on instagram @the_lactation_station.
