💛 Safe Sleep Week NZ 💛

Every sleep. Every nap. Every night.

Safe sleep practices help reduce the risk of Sudden Unexpected Death in Infancy (SUDI) and give babies the safest possible start in life.

This Safe Sleep Week, we’re encouraging whānau to remember the key safe sleep messages:

✨ Always place baby on their back to sleep
✨ Use a firm, flat, clear sleep surface
✨ Keep baby’s face uncovered
✨ Share a room, not a bed, for at least the first 6 months
✨ Keep baby smoke-free before and after birth
✨ Ensure baby has their own safe sleep space

Small steps make a big difference. By creating a safe sleep environment every time your baby sleeps, you’re helping protect what matters most.

If you have questions about safe sleep, please reach out to your midwife or healthcare provider.

🤎 Save this post for future reference
🤎 Share with an expecting or new parent
🤎 Help spread awareness during Safe Sleep Week

Although our Pink Ribbon Brunch is over, we still haven't stopped hearing so many lovely things about the event 💗The support, feedback, and kindness shown by everyone has truly meant so much to us.

We are so incredibly grateful to all of the amazing businesses who generously donated gifts, vouchers, raffle prizes, and spot prizes for our Pink Ribbon Brunch 🎀

Thanks to the generosity of these businesses, we were able to keep our brunch as a low-cost, donation at the door event, making it accessible for everyone in our community to come along, support the cause, and be part of such a special morning.

Your kindness and support helped make our event so special and played a huge part in the success of our fundraising efforts. We truly appreciate every contribution and the willingness of our local businesses to come together for such an important cause.

Thank you for helping us support women and families affected by breast cancer and for being part of something so meaningful 💕

We are so proud to say we absolutely smashed our original goal of raising $750 and have now raised an incredible $2,301 💗 Including $1,043.70 raised from our brunch, which was also added to our fundraising page during Xero's Double Your Money campaign, making the impact even bigger. Thank you again to everyone who supported us along the ay - we couldn't have done it without you all.

After such an amazing response this year, we're already excited to start planning for next year - aiming to go even bigger and better 💕

What an incredible day for our Pink Ribbon event💕

We're still feeling so grateful for the love, generosity, and support shown by our amazing community. To everyone who attended, donated, shared kind words, bought raffle tickets, helped behind the scenes, or simply showed up to support such an important cause - thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Thanks to your generosity, we were able to raise an amazing $1,053.70 today, bringing our total Pink Ribbon donations to $2,311.70💕

Seeing everyone come together to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer support and research was truly special. Every conversation, every laugh, every donation and every bit of pink made a difference.

A huge thank you to everyone who contributed their time, effort, prizes, baking, set up, and energy to help make the event such a success. We couldn't have done it without you all.

A big thank you to Tonic Cafe who generously let us use their space as well as provided free coffees for everyone and Property Brokers Pahiatua and Post Office Hotel for providing the food. Also to Sweet Thingz for providing extra sweets💕

Together, were helping support women and families affected by breast cancer, and that means everything💕

Happy Mother’s Day to every kind of mother and mother figure 💐

Today we celebrate the women, non-binary people, and trans mothers who nurture, protect, guide, and love — in all the ways motherhood exists.

To the mums with babies in their arms, and the mums carrying their children in their hearts.
To the mothers who are grieving, longing, healing, or remembering.
To the stepmums who chose love every single day.
To the grandmothers raising their grandchildren with endless strength and care.
To the foster mums, adoptive mums, bonus mums, and mother figures who show up with unconditional love.
To the non-binary and trans parents who embody motherhood in their own beautiful and valid way.

Whether your child is beside you, far away, grown up, or no longer with us — your love matters, your motherhood matters, and you are seen today.

Wishing comfort, love, and recognition to all who mother in any form. ❤️
