Mum HQ Mackay

07/08/2025

Hey mums, sorry for being MIA here - I've been getting back into the swing of uni and moving locations. Tomorrow is our last day at CLM, and we will be open in school hours!

We are clearing out to make our move less of a hassle and reducing back to only our nappy bags for The Held Project for now.

This means we have A LOT to give our community, and will rebuild once we find a new location.

We have nappies, wipes, sterilisers, bottles, wraps, clothing, prams, portacots, playmats, a nursing chair, breast pumps and more... We will be open TOMORROW for you to come and take what you need. We will be set up from 9:30am ready to go to make bundles for you! PLEASE come and help! Helping YOU is helping us in a big way.

We will be back bigger than ever hopefully in a short while 💕

Happy world breastfeeding week mamas!

Happy world breastfeeding week to all our b**bie mamas!

Special shout out to our in-house super b**b milk machine Hayley, who exclusively breastfeeds premature TWINS. She pushed through pumping while they were in NICU, tandem feeding, oral ties, and more! Hayley, you're a powerhouse, and we see all the amazing effort you've put into breastfeeding and we are SO PROUD of you!

Happy wbw to all of you superwomen!

(And no matter how you feed your baby, you are still seen, loved and celebrated by us!)

It's been a huge week for me getting back into the first week of uni after a long break! I'm taking the day off to rest and prepare for next week. We have found a new location (yay!) so keep an eye on our socials to find out more. 💕🫶🏽 See you next week!

Hey Mackay mums! This week at Mum HQ things are looking a bit different as Amanda is back at uni. We now have the fabulous Hayley on our team to be opening on Mondays! Hayley is a local mum of 3 and a passionate maternity advocate, with lived experience of postnatal depression and complex twin pregnancy resulting in premature birth. If you'd like a coffee and a chat, head on down to HQ! Baby bundles can still be requested, and if you have one still at HQ to be collected they can be done so in our opening hours. See you this week!

Attention Mackay mamas! Illuminate may be a bit of a flop, but Harper Bee is the place to be! Currently here and my kids are having a blast doing the bead it bar, face painting and sidewalk chalk drawing! Come check it out all weekend! Harper Bee

Hey mamas! Open tomorrow to receive your donations, for you to have a chat, and meet a few gals on our team who will be in tomorrow. Starting next week, I'm back at uni so some of the other mums on our team will be taking shifts at HQ - come meet them too! 😁

Also, if you need help, remember we're here! Spread the word!

Parents of Mackay - we got you! We accept donations of all things baby and pregnancy related (just double check out capacity for big stuff first) and we also are the people to talk to if you need anything! 😍 Don't be shy! We won't ask questions. In this economy, everyone's having a dumpster fire of a time. Well... I know I am 🤣 share this around to our local mums groups to let people know we exist, and that we didn't disappear, just our original socials did 🥲👹
