✨ Exciting News! ✨

After months of dedication, studying, and hands-on learning, I’m proud to share that I am now officially a South African Certified Lactation Consultant (SACLC) 🤱🏽👩🏽‍🎓

The journey wasn’t easy, it included about 60 hours of online lectures, 100 practical hours, countless assignments and a challenging 3-hour exam.. but it was absolutely worth it.

Supporting mothers and babies on their feeding journeys has become such a huge passion of mine, and this certification allows me to serve families with even more knowledge, confidence, and care.

Thank you to my amazing friends and fellow LC's Amber Kukard and Anna Le Grange for your advice, support and help. Here’s to empowering more parents and helping more little ones thrive! 💕

Breastfeeding success relies on strong support from family, friends, healthcare workers, and employers.

In South Africa, where many moms face challenges like work return and social pressures, supportive environments empower mothers to continue breastfeeding.

Let’s build a world where no mom has to choose between nourishing her child and her daily life. Share your story, advocate for breastfeeding-friendly spaces, and stand with mothers in your community.

Together, we can create sustainable support systems that help every baby thrive.

Thank you for making it to Day 7 of 💕

Day 6 of

Today we're talking about supporting working moms

In South Africa, the Basic Conditions of Employment Act: Code of Good Practice mandates critical support for both pregnant and breast‑feeding employees

• Clinic Access: Employers must allow time off for antenatal and postnatal clinic visits during pregnancy and after birth.

• Breast‑feeding Breaks: For the first six months of a child’s life, breast‑feeding employees are entitled to two 30‑minute breaks each working day to breast‑feed or express milk.

These aren’t favours, they are your rights. Your body is working overtime to grow and support new life.. and the law is on your side to support you through this season. ❤️

Don’t be afraid to ask, advocate, and take the space you need, for you and your baby.

You are not alone. You are seen. And you are doing amazing!

Breastfeeding isn’t always easy!

It's day 5 and we're focusing on some of the challenges moms may face while breastfeeding.

Sore ni***es, low milk supply, or returning to work? You’re not alone! These are common challenges.

Seek help early, the right support makes all the difference.

Remember that selfcare is NOT selfish 💕

The Golden Hour: the First Hour After Birth ✨

That first hour? It’s pure gold. Skin-to-skin contact during the Golden Hour helps your baby adjust to life outside the womb, stabilises their breathing and temperature, and naturally encourages the first latch.

Starting breastfeeding within this hour increases success rates and helps build a deep bond.

If that hour slips by, don’t worry, there is support to help you and baby find your way.

Celebrate the power of those first moments this World Breastfeeding Week!

It’s World Breastfeeding Week! 🤱🏽

This year’s theme, “Prioritise Breastfeeding: Create Sustainable Support Systems,” reminds us: Every family, community, and employer plays a vital role in supporting breastfeeding mothers for healthier babies and a healthier nation

It’s just past the halfway mark of the year, and I’m feeling so grateful for the incredible little patients and families I get to work with every day. From helping with feeding challenges and reflux to supporting colic, plagiocephaly and so much more, each baby teaches me something new about strength, resilience, and love.

Yes, I’ve been pooped on, thrown up on, and everything in between.. but those moments remind me why I do what I do. It’s an absolute honour to be a small part of these families’ journeys and to support these tiny warriors as they grow and thrive.

Here’s to the second half of the year, bringing more healing, more smiles (and yes, maybe a little less spit-up 😂)!
