Did you know your breastmilk is more than just food? It’s living, changing, and full of magic that science is still discovering. Here are 6 amazing facts about breastmilk every parent should know 🍼💡

1️⃣ Tailor-Made Nutrition
Your milk changes daily (and even within a single feed!) to match your baby’s exact needs.

2️⃣ Immune Boost
Packed with antibodies that protect baby from illnesses, and even adapts when baby is sick. 🤒✨

3️⃣ Day vs. Night Milk
Morning milk is full of “wake-up” hormones, while night milk has more melatonin to help baby sleep better. 🌙

4️⃣ Always the Right Temperature
No warming, no cooling, it comes out perfect every single time. 💕

5️⃣ Gut Health Superpower
Prebiotics in breastmilk grow healthy bacteria in baby’s gut, building a strong foundation for lifelong health. 🌱

6️⃣ Designed for Growth
Supports brain development, bonding, and long-term health benefits for both baby and mama. 💫

Breastmilk is truly nature’s superfood, designed perfectly for your little one. Whether you’re breastfeeding, pumping, or combo feeding, know that every drop counts. 💕

Today’s Pumping 101 Workshop was such a good one ✨

I upgraded the content and the printed handout because pumping education needs to keep up with evidence-based updates, not outdated advice that’s been passed around for years.

Some updates included:
✔️ More updated, evidence-based pumping education
✔️ Debunking common pumping myths
✔️ Practical, realistic tips for working & pumping mums

One big takeaway today? Fl**ge sizing.

Most mums actually had to downsize to find their best fit.
Many of us were previously advised to size up too much from our ni**le measurement, and ni**les can change sizes over time too.

A “one-size-fits-all” approach simply doesn’t work.

If pumping feels uncomfortable, inefficient, or confusing, it’s not you. You probably just need the right information and fit.

Join my Pumping 101 Workshop and get your pumping properly sorted out 🤍

Wondering when to add pumping if you’re already breastfeeding? ⏰

Here’s a quick guide:

✨ In the early weeks, stick to direct breastfeeding to help your supply regulate. Pump only for relief, latch struggles, or separation.

✨ Once your supply is established (around 6 weeks), you can pump between feeds, during the morning, or add a session to prepare for work or build a stash.

And a little reminder: the right tools make pumping so much smoother. I carry fl**ges, tubing, backflow protectors, duckbill valves, and compresses. All essentials to keep your pump working well and your sessions more comfortable.

Save this for later, and share it with a mum who’s figuring out her pumping rhythm. 🍼💡

I didn’t expect this… but I was honestly shocked 😳

Watch the video to see what I meant!!!

When I tested other popular breastmilk storage bags, some of them tore so easily.

Soft, thin EBM bags? For me, it’s a no 🚫

I’ve seen too many cases where thin bags fail, especially once frozen or handled a little roughly.

That’s exactly why, when I created TLM Breastmilk Storage Bags, I made a very intentional decision:
I chose a thicker material than what’s commonly used.
It cost more. I invested in it 💲💲💲

Because mums shouldn’t have to worry about leaks.

Another thing most people don’t know?

Leaks usually happen at the sides, not the middle.
So TLM bags are extra deeply sealed at the sides to reduce tearing and leaking.

💡 If you’re choosing an EBM storage bag, here’s what I’d look out for:
• Not too soft or flimsy
• Feels sturdy in your hands
• Strong, well-sealed sides
• If it tears easily when empty… it won’t hold up when frozen

TLM storage bags are something I created from real experiences, real frustrations, and real care 🤍

I’m genuinely proud of this product, because every drop of milk matters, right mums!!!! ❤️

You’ve probably heard the classic advice: “Feed your newborn every 3 hours.” But here’s the thing, breastfed babies often have their own rhythm.

Many little ones nurse every 1.5–2 hours (sometimes even hourly!) and that is completely normal.

The “3-hour rule” mainly applies to formula-fed babies, since breastmilk digests faster.

So if your baby wants to nurse more frequently, it doesn’t always mean:
❌ Your supply is low
❌ Something is wrong with latch

It simply means your baby’s biology is working exactly as it should.
Trust the process, trust your body, and most importantly, trust your baby. 💞

The Guppy Pose for Babies 🐟✨

Some babies carry a little more muscle tension, and it can show up as shallow latching, fussiness at the breast in certain positions, a tight mouth gape, lots of squirming, chin tucking, or difficulty extending their neck during feeds.

One simple movement that may help release some of that tension is the guppy pose (not coined by me!).

It gently opens the chest and neck area, allowing baby to relax, lengthen, and find more comfortable positions for feeding.

A relaxed body often means an easier latch, smoother milk transfer, and a calmer feeding experience for both of you. 💛

I’m not a bodywork specialist, so if you’re noticing persistent tension or feeding challenges, do consider seeing a trained bodyworker for a more in-depth assessment and personalised support.

And while you do that, working with an IBCLC can help ensure baby’s latch and positioning are optimised too.

You and your baby deserve comfort and ease, little steps like this can make a big difference!!!

Thanks to this little one here for being so cooperative during this demo!

Even when doubt whispers, let trust speak louder.

Your body remembers how to nurture, and your baby remembers how to receive.

Together, you are learning the dance of enough. =)
