As part of our REAL MUM STORIES campaign, Rae has written in and told us about her personal struggle to produce enough breastmilk to feed her first baby. After desperately trying several ways to improve her milk supply she eventually tried our Healthy Mummy Smoothies. Her third baby is now THRIVING on her breast milk. It’s wonderful to hear that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Read Rae’s story
“I struggled for 7 months to breastfeed Matilda. The last couple of months were really trying and the stress of it all made me give up sooner than I had planned.
It’s funny how we get these ideas in our heads as Mums that we have somehow failed if we don’t do what ‘they’ say is the right thing at the right time. It is so stupid.
If your baby is alive and happy at the end of the day you’ve done a bloody amazing job and should feel nothing but pride no matter how you got there.
I started the Healthy Mummy smoothies when Charlotte was about 14 months and managed to get to 18 months before she weaned. Before discovering the HM smoothies I ate heaps of lactation cookies. Heaps. I am almost positive that they contributed to the excess weight gain. I liked them a lot!
This time around my supply is the best it has ever been. Margot is ‘thriving’ according to my MCHN. To people who don’t have to worry about political correctness she is a beautiful chubby bubby! She has rolls in place I never knew that rolls could ever form. I love it!!!
I have two smoothies a day and I am not at all short on milk.
It makes me really happy. I adore breastfeeding, it works perfectly for me and Margot and hope to do it for as long as we both want to.
The Healthy Mummy smoothies are completely breastfeeding friendly. They don’t contain nasty weight loss accelerants or caffeine so you can rest assured that your baby is getting nothing but those delicious 24 vitamins and minerals in every sip. They also contain Fenugreek which is a proven lactation booster.
I adore them. I’m hooked!!!”
Thank you Rae for your story, I’m sure there are many mums who could relate. It’s also so great to know that our Healthy Mummy Smoothies helped you so much.
