Are you a breastfeeding mum and proud of it? Have you signed up for The Big Latch On?

Women's Health Action Trust is a not-for-profit organisation and every year during World Breastfeeding Week, they host the “Big Latch On”. The event is an opportunity for breastfeeding mothers to get together all over the country and simultaneously breastfeed. This is the event’s fifth year and each Big Latch On has attracted more women than the one before. Last year there were 1122 mothers and babies latched on and counted. The feedback they get from women who take part is that it is a wonderful event and we get many coming back with subsequent children.

So what are you waiting for sign up for the event in your area.

This year the Auckland Breastfeeding Network in Auckland is organising a region-wide "Big Latch On" event at the Hoyts Cinema Complex in Sylvia Park . Breastfeeding women from all over Auckland have registered to take part in the event. They are offering a free movie and spot prizes including a BabyBaby Gift Pack containing our Feeding Pillow and BabyBaby Skin Care. We also have sent 100 sample packs to our friends at the Timaru event.

Let us know if you are going to any of the events this year. We would love to hear from you and especially would like a photo of you using our feeding pillow!

Whimsical Giraffes

These whimsical creates are an elegant way to add a touch of magic to your child's space. They are made from a fine fabric adhesive that is re-positionable, so it can be moved about many times. They are also completely waterproof so can go outdoors and those sticky little fingermarks can be wiped away. These gorgeous patterned creatures will adhere to any smooth surface without damage to your painted walls...they really are magical!
These gorgeous creatures with baby are available in two sizes at BabyBaby.







PS: Check out my beautiful niece and gorgeous nephew posing for these photographs.

Could this be your child?

I have to say Evian have done a fantastic job here marketing their H2O. I'm sure many of us see our own kids as capable as these - you know those fearless climbers the ones other mothers are glad they don't have. While you are gearing your child up to be the next Evian 'star' make sure you have plenty of Multi Healing Balm on hand for all the grazes and bruises that are bound to happen during practise (or play).
Enjoy!

Mothers Milk

I just came across this great organisation promoting the use of Human milk banking in New Zealand.
From their website: Donated breast milk is invaluable for babies in newborn intensive care (NICU), because it is their best source of nourishment and provides unique protection from infections. Premature babies fed breast milk are six times less likely to suffer a life threatening gastro-intestinal condition called necrotising enterocolitis.

On Christmas Day 2000 my own baby was born with a rare intestinal condition. She was full term but was unable to digest any food. In the hopes that one day she would be able to absorb I religiously expressed breast milk while she was in the NICU.
What I discovered was that as the mother of a full term infant I had tons of milk, my supply was not a problem, however, my baby would never get that milk. I also discovered that most of the mothers with premature babies did not have good milk supplies.
Here I was with excess milk and no baby to drink it and these tiny babies desperately needing breast milk which their frantic mothers could not supply.
I was not allowed to donate any of my breast milk and after three months an entire freezer full was discarded.
I think by having a human breast milk bank in New Zealand gives mothers the option to use it or not. It also means that for mothers like myself our efforts would not have been in vein.
There is a huge story in the US at the moment called Feeding Mosses. where 25 women took turns to breastfeed the baby after his mother died. This story has prompted a lot of discussion on breast milk banking.
I truly think the choice to use donated breast milk is up to the individual but at the moment we do not have the choice.

On average we blink over 100,000 times per day, and every time we smile, frown or make a funny face, we place a demand on the skin around the eyes. As a result the eyes are usually one of the first areas to show the first signs of ageing.

We should all start using anti-ageing eye cream on a regular basis at around twenty years of age; however, it is never too late to start and today we are offering a FREE 2B Eye Cream with the purchase of any two 2B Skin Care products*.

The skin around the eye is one of the most sensitive areas on the body. Because of this it is important to know how to properly apply eye creams. Proper application will reduce chances of irritation - including redness and swelling. Incorrect application can lead to causing more damage.

Here's how...


Only a tiny amount of any eye cream is needed to cover the area. Using the ring finger (as this finger has the softness touch) dot the eye cream along the edge of the bone surrounding the eye. One dot of cream pressed between the two ring fingers should be sufficient to cover the area. Gently pat (do not rub!) the cream into the skin - staying around the edge of the bone. Do not get closer! Eye creams, once absorbed into the skin, will spread. If the eye cream is applied too close to the eyelid - the cream will flood the delicate eye area and cause dark circles or worse increase the risk of product entering the eye causing swelling and irritation
