Packing your hospital bag doesn’t need to be overwhelming — a little structure makes all the difference.

One of my favourite tips? Pack in sections. Use a small bag for mom, one for baby, and another for your birth partner. Labeled pouches or zip bags make everything quick and easy to find during labor (especially when you’re not the one digging through the bag!).

Keeping it simple helps you stay calm, organized, and fully present for the big moment ahead.

Embrace the journey, you’ve got this!

Breastfeeding shouldn’t be consistently painful.

While the early days can come with sensitivity, ongoing pain is usually a sign that something needs adjusting.
With the right support, early latch correction, and comfortable positioning, most pain can be prevented... and feeding can become a calm, connected experience for both you and baby.

If you’re struggling or just want reassurance, send us a DM to book your lactation consultation and get the support you deserve. 💛

Your birth partner isn’t just “there”. They are an essential part of your support team. From preparing with you, to advocating during labour, to nurturing your recovery after birth… their presence matters more than they know.

🗓Join our antenatal classes starting January and February to learn how to navigate birth as a team.

Labour is a powerful journey that unfolds in stages — from those first gentle contractions to the moment you finally hold your baby in your arms.

Knowing what happens in each stage can help you feel calm, confident, and in control of your birth experience. In our antenatal classes, we guide you through every step — from early labour signs, to birth preparation, pain management, and postpartum recovery.

Knowledge is power, mama. Let’s make sure you’re ready for the big day.

That first kick is more than movement — it’s magic.

Most parents start to feel their baby’s movements, often described as flutters or “butterflies”, between 16 and 22 weeks of pregnancy.

These early kicks are a reassuring sign that baby is growing and developing well. If you ever notice a decrease in movement, trust your instincts and contact your healthcare provider.

November is Premature Birth Awareness Month 💜
When a baby arrives too soon, parents are thrown into a world they never expected - monitors, medical terms and long hospital days.

You might not be able to fix it but you can make it easier. Let us raise awareness and support every family walking this path.

If your baby suddenly wants to feed non-stop — don’t panic! This is called cluster feeding and it’s a normal, healthy part of early breastfeeding.

Cluster feeding = normal BUT
Constant cluster feeding = time to check in.

Sometimes it’s a growth spurt.
Sometimes it’s your baby saying, “Something feels off.”

If you’re unsure, your lactation consultant can help you figure it out!
