this! Childproofing isn't just something "nice" to do--it saves lives!

BREAKING NEWS: Health Canada (the equivalent of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission) has adopted the mandatory standard under the STURDY Act (ASTM F2053-23) as the mandatory safety and testing standard in Canada, in part thanks to comments submitted by PAT (and Kim, the founder of Meghan's Hope) in support of this improvement in their safety standard for dressers and clothing storage furniture.

We are thrilled with this improvement in safety for Canada's most vulnerable citizens. We are also grateful that our voices and stories continue to be heard and have an impact in creating safer dressers and other clothing storage furniture, and protecting kids from tip-overs like the ones that stole our children from us.

Thank you, Health Canada!

It's so exciting that so many people around the world 🌍️ want to learn about fl**ge fitting! Unfortunately, I've figured out that I can't personally go everywhere (oh, but I DO try✈️!). However, I realized I CAN sortof clone 👩🏻‍🦳👩🏻‍🦳 myself...so I'm THRILLED to announce that the FIRST
Approved Fl**ge Fitting Instructor
is Amber Clark, RN, IBCLC, TTP!

She will be teaching her first Babies in Common workshop in May, in Wales, UK. Keep reading to learn more about this event and about Amber.

Amber is currently working at Oxford University Hospital as the Infant Feeding Lead. She is the clinical lead and developer of the Early Breastmilk Toolkit, created in collaboration with Health Innovation Wessex during her time as Infant Feeding Specialist at University Hospital Southampton.

After taking a thorough online training with me in 2023, Amber starting doing fl**ge fitting, using the Fl**ge FITS™ Guide and varied sizes of fl**ges, in two hospitals in her role as infant feeding lead. She has worked with several Trusts within the NHS to support them in their efforts to implement changes for their patients, as well. She also has experience in private practice, doing home visits as a lactation consultant. In 2025, she attended an in-person workshop with me in the UK, and has been collaborating with me on making this new workshop a reality since then.

Finally, one of the leading vacuum companies has decided to release a breastpump! It's sleek and yet its design is a nod to the first breastpump made in the 1950s with the grey steel and glass...it's got a steampunk vibe and yet it's modern!

Of course, they have also heeded the call to ensure that allll the different sizes and shapes of fl**ges can work with it, which is a relief. And they'll make all the fl**ges available during the ordering process, along with the Fl**ge FITS™ Guide for parents to download.

So happy to see a pump company finally taking the lead when it comes to innovation and updated fl**ge sizing!

unfortunately, this is an April Fools' Day joke...too bad it's not real.
