The sacred art of breastfeeding

Holistic Breastfeeding Consultations

The sacred art of breastfeeding is wisdom women have passed down to one another for generations. “Ko te whaea te takere o te waka. Mothers are the hull of the waka” – Dr Hinemoa Elder

For some mothers and babies breastfeeding may come naturally. And for others, it can take a bit of learning for both mother and baby, especially for those that are recovering from childbirth interventions or who may not have a breastfeeding mother or auntie to learn from. These māmās may need some nurturing support and wise mother wisdom to trust they can do it.

What We Can Support With:

• Trusting breastfeeding & understanding your body (your Breastmilk Production Manager)

• Practical comfort and ways to support your body, mind and positioning

• Mastitis prevention, oversupply or undersupply, growth spurts, fussiness & breast strike

• What to eat to maintain energy & digestive health for you & a nutritious breastmilk supply for your little one

Breastfeeding is more than just nutrition, we’ll also support you to;

• Build trust with your baby

• Understand baby cues

• Bond with your baby

The breastfeeding environment is important to this connection.” – Caroline McNicol
