Milk and Kindness

Hello there!…thanks so much for sticking around 🙏 and a warm welcome if you’re new to Milk & Kindness. I really appreciate each & every one of you ☺️

I’ve been working away bts, balancing the wearing of many hats like most other solo clinicians working in private practice 🥰 and although I’ve not had the opportunity to show up here as regularly as the algorithm (or I) would like 🙃, I’m incredibly grateful that many of you have still found your way here when you needed to ✨

And I couldn’t have done it without you! 🫶🏼

With one of the busiest starts to any year to date for M & K, I’m so blessed for the power of word of mouth, and want to thank every one of you in this incredibly supportive community of families, friends & health professionals who continue to recommend Milk & Kindness services to others when it’s needed the most 🙏

While what my LC biz offers expectant & new families isn’t rocket science 🚀 it is 100% grounded in science! What you will always get when working with Nat is the ‘whole package’ as you rightly deserve, because it’s NEVER EVER JUST ABOUT THE FEEDING is it Mumma? I know you’re out there working really hard. I see you! You’ve got this lovely 🥹💕

Registrations are opening this week for our next round of STEP (Supported to Thrive in Early Parenthood) starting Tuesday 28 July ✨🤍

Parenthood is a huge adjustment and can swing between feeling joyful, challenging, confusing, beautiful, empowering, overwhelming, and sometimes isolating; all in the same day. That’s exactly why STEP was created.

Over six weeks, you’ll be welcomed into a safe, supportive space where you can ask questions, build confidence, learn from evidence-based education, and connect with other local parents who are navigating the same season of life.

STEP is here to remind you that you were never meant to do this alone.

🤍 A welcoming community
🤍 Practical education
🤍 Meaningful conversations
🤍 Lasting connections

Your village is waiting.

Regos go live Tuesday 21st July. Head to http://www.milkandkindness.com.au to book.
Get in quick as places are limited with priority going to our new Mummas x

🔥🔥 Registrations are now open for our next round of S.T.E.P starting 9 June! ✨

Supported to Thrive in Early Parenthood (STEP) is a 6 week FREE early parent program for Mums & their Bubs aged between 1 - 6 months.

STEP is facilitated by Nat Gray RN/CHN/IBCLC from Milk & Kindness, who has both a long term lived and professional experience supporting families in the Pilbara.

STEP is a program that prioritises creating connections & joy in early parenthood at a time when the outside ‘noise’ can feel pretty judgy and overwhelming. At STEP we gather in a judgement free space, having evidence-based conversations with local health professionals, whilst also sharing our own experiences with courage and honesty.

The STEP program sessions cover a range of parent requested topics including, postpartum recovery and returning to exercise, tips for adjusting to parenthood, infant development & milestones, managing sleep & settling with your little one, potential feeding challenges, support options for partners, and raising awareness about maternal and family mental health & wellbeing.

STEP is made possible with generous funding from Regional Development Australia’s (RDA) West Pilbara Communities for Children (WPCFC) grant & the Dampier Community Association (DCA).

If you’d like to our upcoming round of STEP commencing on Tuesday 9 June click the link in our bio to secure your spot. Spaces are limited!

Super grateful to The Karratha Women's Place Inc. for providing this lovely opportunity to meet local Mums-to- be and new Mums and chat about all versions of infant feeding and adjusting to early parenthood. See you there lovelies! 🤱🌸

Hi Ladies, join us Wednesday (13th May) for the next get together for our "Mums to Be and Bubs on Knees" group 🤰👶🤰👶

This is a FREE social group for soon to be Mums and new Mums with bubs who aren't mobile yet, to meet others who are on the same journey of adjusting to motherhood, make new friends and enjoy a cuppa.

For this session, the lovely Nat from Milk and Kindness will be joining us as well to have a chat and answer your questions 🥰🥰

You can drop in anytime between 10:30am-12:30pm and stay for as long or as little as you are able to.

🌰🌰 ‘Sisters not Twins’ is a reassuring gem I would share every day in my role as an IBCLC. So I thought it was time to get my custom-made knitted b***s out here to make that point 🌸🌸

Have you noticed your breasts can vary in size, shape, and even nips can look super different from each other, never more obviously than when they start making milk for our baby 🤱

This ‘uniqueness’ might mean that one is something of an ‘overachiever’ and the other an ‘under performer’ in comparison. This variation is mostly due to our bodies rarely being symmetrical but can also emerge because our Bub has a fave side. This difference can also mean differences in breast size, milk making tissue, milk volume & storage capacity, and the way that milk releases during a breastfeed or pump. SO Is this ok?

🌰 If Bub is latching comfortably for Mum?
🌰 Settled when feeding?
🌰 Gaining weight? Then absolutely yes!

If you have concerns though or have noticed a sudden change or variation in your breasts or bubs breastfeeding, then always reach out for qualified guidance and support

Working as an IBCLC, is one of the most fulfilling jobs imaginable for me. With one of my all time fave opportunities, meeting & guiding expectant parents about lactation & breastfeeding before they’re in the thick of early parenting with their newborn ✨🤱

Whilst 1:1 sessions are super popular, many couples will opt for group education and tbh, I have seriously missed not yet having the chance to run a face to face small group antenatal class in 2026.

I think it’s time Pilbara Preggies!!!
So tell me what M&K group education you’d prefer?

⭐️ Our OG Preparing to Breastfeed Masterclass
OR
⭐️ Our trailblazing, one of a kind seminar for the Dads to Be ‘Blokes,Babies & Breastfeeding’?
