💡 Fun Fact Friday!

Even after a breastfeeding journey has come to an end, the ability to produce milk can sometimes remain for a surprisingly long time. In some circumstances, milk production can be restarted through relactation, even after years have passed.

There are also fascinating accounts of grandmothers relactating when caring for or breastfeeding their grandchildren. It’s a wonderful reminder of just how adaptable the breastfeeding body can be! 💜

We were lucky today to have a few mums in our group who’ve already been through breastfeeding and returning to work so, we could hear real, recent experiences alongside useful information. 🤍

We chatted about how you might feel about returning to work, when and how to start sending expressed milk to nursery, and how your body adapts as feeding patterns change.

So many questions, so many different experiences, and a good reminder that there isn’t one “right” way to make it work.

See you next week! 🫶

📚 We had such a lovely evening last night catching up, chatting and discussing our latest read, The Last Letter by Rebecca Yarros.

There were definitely some divided opinions! Some of us really enjoyed it, whilst others weren’t quite as convinced. We did all agree, though, that it was an emotional storyline with tissues advised, but we felt the ending perhaps became a little too emotional, with a few unnecessary twists thrown in! 😢

Next month we’re going for something a little more upbeat, and voting for our next book will be open this week! ✨

If you’d like to join us, just drop us a DM with the word BOOK and we’ll send you the link to join our WhatsApp group. 💜

This topic is always such a great reminder of how amazingly you’re doing when it comes to keeping a baby alive. ❤️

Some of you shared good naps, lie-ins and surviving solo parenting, while others had the first week of school and nursery with your older ones.

Seeing your pet, having some time for yourself, going to a hair appointment, keeping the older ones alive, or even getting a handprint cast are all totally valid reasons to celebrate. 🥹

Thank you for sharing your small wins with us, and we hope to see you again next week! ❤️

💬 Breastfeeding Weaning FAQs

Weaning is part of breastfeeding journeys, but there’s no set age, deadline or milestone that says when you should stop.

Breastfeeding is a relationship between you and your baby, and every family’s journey is different. Whether you’re wondering if you’re ready to wean or thinking about how to gently reduce feeds when the time feels right for you, our breastfeeding professional Viv is answering some common questions for you.

Remember, you don’t have to figure it all out on your own. We’re here to support you through every stage of your breastfeeding journey. If you’d like to talk through weaning with a breastfeeding professional, our free clinic is here for you. 💜

🏆 What’s been your win this week? 💜

Sometimes it’s the big things… but sometimes getting everyone out of the house on time, drinking a hot cup of tea while it’s still hot, or simply surviving a tricky day deserves a little celebration too! 😂

Whether your win is baby-related, parenting-related, or just something that made your week a little easier we want to hear it! 🎉

We look forward to seeing you then! 💜
