Many mums returning to work wonder how breastfeeding will fit into their new routine.

" Expressing milk will enable you to maintain milk production as well as ensuring your baby can still receive your milk whilst you’re apart. If you decide not to express your milk at work you can still continue breastfeeding when you’re at home. You may need to express at first to avoid the discomfort of engorgement and the risk of mastitis"

La Leche League GB has some excellent practical advice and information for breastfeeding parents returning to work: https://laleche.org.uk/working-and-breastfeeding/expressing/

What a joyful time we had Scottish Lavender | Lavender Farm Scotland last month! 💜

I always try to find ways to give back with my work and fundraising for Breast Cancer Now has even more meaning these days.

I’m delighted to share that we raised £400 with the fundraiser on the 12th of July. Every donation helps and I’m really grateful to be in the position where I can donate the proceeds of these mini sessions while also helping create memories to last a lifetime.

Huge thank you to everyone who took part and a shout out to the team at Scottish Lavender Oils, Milnathort for their support. We’ll definitely be back next year.

If you want to help support this brilliant charity, I have a page set up and the link is in my bio x

We're looking for volunteers to carry out feeder box surveys in the Aberdeen area!

This involves checking a number of squirrel feeder boxes once a fortnight, making sure they're clean and topped up, and sending hair samples for identification. You will need access to your own vehicle as come of the boxes are in remote areas, and be able to walk across uneven ground.

If this sounds like something you would be interested in, please email [email protected]

We'll have more volunteer roles in the North East later in the year, so keep an eye on our page if you want to get involved!

The Breastfeeding etc. (Scotland) Act 2005 is a significant piece of legislation in Scotland that protects the right to breastfeed or bottle feed a child in public until the child is 24 months old. It makes it an offence to prevent or stop a person in charge of a child from feeding milk to that child in a public place or licensed premises. The Act also provides for vicarious liability, meaning that employers are liable if their employees prevent or stop someone from breastfeeding in the course of their employment. The Act aims to promote breastfeeding and ensure that mothers can feed their children in a relaxed and supportive environment.
