A glimpse into the very important perks of private practice 😌

Finished a Breastfeeding Appointment and was literally driving past Chadstone… so naturally, had to stop for a coffee and a little shopping.

Private practice perks = flexible days, doing work I genuinely love and the occasional coffee & shopping detour haha.

If breastmilk is the perfect food, why doesn’t it provide enough vitamin D?

Because vitamin D is different from most nutrients.

Human milk contains very little vitamin D because humans have historically obtained most of their vitamin D through sun derived vitamin D synthesis, rather than relying on dietary vitamin D alone.

Breastmilk itself isn’t “deficient” in the pathological sense its vitamin D concentration is naturally low. Whether this becomes a concern for an individual infant depends on their other sources and risk factors.

Tomorrow inside Momentum, my membership for Midwives (plus Nurses, Doulas & LCs), I’m unpacking this topic, including the current recommendations.

And this is exactly the kind of clinical knowledge we dive into at my Lactation Training.

Want to know more about vitamin D supplementation and the breastfed baby?

Comment “VIT D” below and I’ll send you more info.

I used to dread my first hospital shift back after annual leave 😩

I’d return to work feeling miserable, counting down until I could go home.

Fast forward to today… I’ve just returned from annual leave and I’m genuinely so happy to be back at work.

So, what changed?

I moved into breastfeeding-focused private practice.

But more than that, I found my way back to the parts of Midwifery I love most; woman-centred care, evidence-based breastfeeding support, autonomy and making a real difference.

If you’ve lost your spark for postnatal support, come and join me at my next Lactation Training Day and let’s reignite it.

My Ni**le Butter is made with organic herbs and nourishing oils to soothe and protect your skin as it adjusts to breastfeeding.

And the best part? It’s not just for ni***es. Use it anywhere you need a little extra soothing and skin protection; well beyond your breastfeeding days.

A little tin with a lot of uses.

Ready to try it? Link in bio.

Last day of the holiday. Flying home tonight… and somehow “where should we go next?” has already entered the chat 😂 🌎 ✈️

Anyone else?

As Private Midwives, planning annual leave around our clients is so important.

I teach all of this inside The Midwife Entrepreneur for those keen to build a breastfeeding focused private practice.
