Every breastfeeding journey is different. 💗

We know that, for many reasons, not every mum who wants to breastfeed is able to — and every feeding journey deserves support.

For mums who want to breastfeed, we’re here to help you work towards your breastfeeding goals, with support and care along the way. 🤱💕

🤱 World Breastfeeding Week | Did You Know?

Breastfeeding changes your body in incredible ways—but it can also affect your pelvic and vaginal health.

A new 2026 study found that many breastfeeding women experience symptoms of Genitourinary Syndrome of Lactation (GSL), yet most were unaware the condition even existed or that treatment was available.

Symptoms may include:
✨ Vaginal dryness
✨ Pain with in*******se
✨ Burning or irritation
✨ Urinary urgency or recurrent UTIs
✨ Reduced comfort during everyday activities

These changes are largely related to the temporary hormonal shifts that occur while breastfeeding. While they’re common, they don’t have to be something you simply “put up with.”

The good news? There are evidence-based treatment options. A pelvic health physiotherapist can work alongside your GP or specialist to help identify the cause of your symptoms and develop a treatment plan that supports both your recovery and your breastfeeding goals.

This World Breastfeeding Week, let’s also remember to care for the person doing the feeding. 💛

If something doesn’t feel right, don’t suffer in silence—help is available.

🤱 World Breastfeeding Week 💗

Many people know Lauren as a Women’s, Men’s and Pelvic Health Physiotherapist—but she’s also an IBCLC Lactation Consultant.

These two roles work hand in hand, allowing Lauren to support families through breastfeeding challenges, in particular mastitis, breast engorgement, inflamed breast tissue and ni**le pain while promoting holistic postpartum healing.

Every feeding journey is different, and every family deserves compassionate, evidence-based support.

This World Breastfeeding Week, let’s celebrate parents, support breastfeeding families, and remind every mum that she doesn’t have to do it alone. 💗
