Not everyone understands what a lactation consultant does…

But every conversation is a chance to change that. 💚🧡

Vivian shares how supporting mothers has shaped her work, and her as a woman.

“What exactly do you do?” 😅

It’s a question our lactation consultants hear often.

But behind that question is an opportunity, to educate, to support, and to walk alongside mothers who may not yet know the kind of help that exists.

For Vivian, every conversation is a chance to turn confusion into confidence for a mother and her baby 🤱🏾💚🧡

Sometimes the support you didn’t know you needed becomes the support that changes everything.

To the women doing midnight feeds, growing tiny humans,
and somehow still showing up every day.

We see you.
We celebrate you.

The Quran encourages breastfeeding for two years (2:233).
It also allows flexibility in fasting when health may be affected.

If you are breastfeeding and unsure whether to fast:
• Assess your health
• Monitor your milk supply
• Seek medical guidance

Nourishing your baby is sacred work.

We are here to guide you safely 💚🧡

Happy IBCLC Day to the professionals who said,
“Breastfeeding deserves specialised care.” 🤱🏾💚🧡

An IBCLC doesn’t just say “keep trying.”
We assess.We observe.We measure.We support.We problem-solve.

Latch issues? Pain? Low supply? Tongue tie concerns?

Today we celebrate the science, the skill, and the heart behind lactation consultancy.

And yes, breastfeeding support is a profession.

Both the Bible and the Quran recognise breastfeeding as sacred, natural, and important 🤱🏾💚🧡

Scripture acknowledges:
• Mothers who nurse
• Women who nurse children not biologically theirs
• The importance of protecting life

If you are breastfeeding during this fasting season, your health and your baby’s health matter.

Faith does not require harm.

Support exists.

Hi Dr. Doreen! Happy New Year! I’m doing well. Apologies I haven’t been as responsive. It’s been quite busy. Baby is doing really well. 4 months now, almost 5.

Thanks for the support you’ve given us new mums. It’s been really helpful to have that forum. I especially valued being able to hear the experience of other mothers. That was very helpful as we’d often be going through similar things.

I also valued the information you shared with us. However, I’ll admit I didn’t always get the chance to go through it in detail or to contribute much as it was a really busy time navigating motherhood for the first time.

Thanks again for everything!

Public service announcement:
Breastfeeding is not supposed to feel like a punishment 😅💚🧡

Pain may mean:
✔ Latch issues
✔ Positioning challenges
✔ Oral function concerns

Pain is common.
It is not something to kuguma.

Ramadan Mubarak to all our Muslim mothers and families 🌙💚🧡

As this sacred month begins, we honour the devotion, discipline, and reflection that Ramadan brings.

For pregnant and breastfeeding mothers observing the fast, remember, your health and your baby’s health matter deeply. Islam gives exemptions for those who need them. Caring for yourself is not a weakness; it is wisdom.

If you are fasting and breastfeeding, and you’re unsure how to do so safely, we are here to guide you.

May this month bring peace to your home, strength to your body, and barak to your family.

Ash Wednesday always carries a quiet kind of strength 🌿💚🧡

Today, we pause.
We reflect.
We begin again.

For many mothers, this season of Lent mirrors motherhood itself: sacrifice, surrender, endurance, and deep love that asks much but gives even more.

We are reminded that caring for little ones is sacred work. Feeding, nurturing, showing up at 2am… it is service in its purest form 🤱🏾

As we enter this season, may you be gentle with yourself.
May you be supported.
May you be nourished too.
