Today, as I was leaving my clients’ home after her Breastfeeding Appointment, I encouraged her to do one thing...

Go have a nap with your baby.

In the early days of breastfeeding, a nap isn’t just about catching up on sleep. It gives you the chance to slow down, breastfeed responsively, rest your body horizontally and boost oxytocin levels that support both milk flow and bonding.

The washing can wait.

These newborn naps don’t last forever. So if you need permission... this is it.

As someone who wears contact lenses every day, comfort is my number one priority.

I’ve been trying the Two of a Kind Halo contact lenses and after wearing them for 12 hours through a client appointment, lunch plans, errands, training and everything in between, my eyes still felt comfortable and fresh by the end of the day.

Halo lenses are enhanced with hyaluronic acid and infused with Vitamins E, B6 and B12, while the saline solution they’re housed in is designed to provide increased hydration throughout the day.

If you’re a contact wearer, you can shop Halo lenses via the Two of a Kind website.

Ever wondered why you suddenly feel so thirsty the moment your baby attaches?

That’s because the hormone oxytocin, released during your let down, can trigger thirst and with human milk being almost 90% water, your body is reminding you to replace your fluids.

One Ni**le Butter… two sizes.

✨ 30g tin – Perfect for your nappy bag, handbag or hospital bag. Keep it close by for those early feeds, appointments and whenever you’re out and about.

✨ 100g tin – Your home base. Keep it on your change table, beside your feeding chair, in your first aid kit or packed for travel.

Both contain the same beautiful Ni**le Butter you know and love.

I’m sooo excited to bring these study days back to Melbourne for Midwives, MCH Nurses, SCN Nurses, Doulas and health professionals supporting breastfeeding families.

A full day dedicated to learning, connecting and exploring research based practices that help protect breastfeeding journeys from day one.

This little one has just reached one year of breastfeeding 🥹

Halfway through each year, I review my outcomes, not because numbers tell the whole story, but because they help me measure whether I’m achieving my mission.

My 2026 statistics (January–June):

✨ 100% of my Package clients were exclusively breastfeeding at 6 weeks
✨ 100% of my Package clients were exclusively breastfeeding at 6 months

These outcomes are the result of continuity of care and evidence based support through my 662movement; supporting mothers during the first 6 weeks to help lay the foundations for long term breastfeeding success.

And going back to this lovely pair, one year is such a special milestone.

Congratulations to this beautiful family! 🤍

A career built around continuity, not shifts.

The sun is setting

and

I’m arriving at a breastfeeding clients home.

This is the beauty of building a private midwifery business specialising in breastfeeding support. You create a career that’s built around your own family, continuity of care and supporting mothers when they need you most.

If you’ve been wondering whether there’s another way to practise as a Midwife...

.. there is.

And I’d love to help you build it.

A client shared something with me yesterday that I can’t stop thinking about.

She was told the formula her baby received in hospital wouldn’t affect her long term breastfeeding.

This is not what the research shows.

Women deserve evidence based advice that protects their breastfeeding goals from day one.

That’s why I’m bringing my Lactation Training to Melbourne!

If you’re a Midwife, MCH Nurse, SCN Nurse, Doula, or another health professional, comment with one word to tell me where you’d attend:

Your feedback will help shape where this training lands first and I can’t wait to share this study day with you 🤍

Thinking back to this beautiful snorkeling day I was so grateful I’d packed a tin of Ni**le Butter.

Salt water and sunshine can really dry out your skin and the nourishing oils and herbs were exactly what I needed afterwards.

It’s one of those products that keeps proving it’s not just for breastfeeding.
