Olympic champion Clarisse Agbegnenou is one of the greatest judoka of her generation.

Love her, especially how openly she shares about balancing elite sport and motherhood, including images of herself breastfeeding at training like this one she shared yesterday šŸ¤

Save then share this with your partner as a little postpartum gift guide 🌹

Because maybe this is the kind of post birth energy you’re aiming for… and sometimes they just don’t know what they don’t know šŸ˜†

Consider this a public service announcement. I’m here to help šŸ˜

Thank me later x

The best time to prepare for breastfeeding is before you’re sitting there with a crying newborn, feeling overwhelmed.

An antenatal breastfeeding appointment can help you feel more confident stepping into your breastfeeding journey.

If you’re pregnant and want to prepare for breastfeeding, DM me anytime.

Medicare rebates are available across the first 6 weeks postpartum, meaning you may be able to access personalised breastfeeding support with a private midwife for less than you expect.

Breastfeeding hint for partners: order her a tin of Ni**le Butter šŸ¤

When I see an order come through under a partner’s name, being sent as a gift, I always smile.

Because while they can’t do the breastfeeding, they can care for the one who is.

Those small, thoughtful gestures mean more than you know.

Order now via the link in bio.

A few months ago I shared that my last car was completely paid off through my business… and now it’s time for an upgrade (and I’ve been waiting for this car to come in for three months).

Moments like this remind me why understanding the financial side of private practice is so important.

Inside my Mentorship for Midwives (also LC, RN’s, Doulas etc) wanting to move into private practice, we don’t just cover breastfeeding support skills, we also work through the financial foundations of running a sustainable business.

That includes real costs like car repayments, fuel, servicing, insurance, registration, tyres all the other business expenses that come with travelling to families homes.

So if you’re left wondering how to factor these costs into your pricing, I hear you.

And I’m here to help you build a business that not only supports your clients, but also supports you financially.

This is exactly what we l’ll cover inside The Midwife Entrepreneur.

Comment or DM MENTORSHIP and I’ll add you to the waitlist for future intakes.

Did you know some babies attach more deeply side lying because their whole body is fully supported?

When a baby is chest to chest, tummy to tummy and well aligned with their mum, side lying can encourage a calmer, more organised attachment for some.

I taught a Package client side lying this week and it’s done just that for this pair. Side lying is a position worth learning before you’re desperate for it.

Coffee, shopping, sushi and some precious one-on-one time with my mini. One of my favourite ways to spend a day off from client appointments.

(Extra points to my camera girl for getting artsy and somehow filming this entire Reel without revealing the stitches in my forehead šŸ˜‚šŸ‘). See my stories

Just finished an antenatal Telehealth appointment with one of my new Package clients, and she asked me for postpartum gift ideas for her.

My answer?
Great pyjamas.

Honestly, postpartum is one season of life where living in beautiful, comfortable PJs just makes sense. A few luxe pairs on rotation is the dream… some for bed and some to shower and change into fresh for the day that you feel chic in šŸ’ā€ā™€ļø

Best they button down at the front to make skin-to-skin and breastfeeding easy.

For those breastfeeding through winter, this is a great reminder from La Leche League International, on what your milk is doing to protect your baby during cold and flu season.
