Matching in red and making memories ❤️

Jessica captured this special moment breastfeeding her baby in the park — a reminder that some of the most meaningful moments of motherhood happen in the everyday.

Whether it's at home, on a walk, or enjoying time outdoors, breastfeeding can create moments of comfort, connection and closeness wherever you are.

Thank you, Jessica, for sharing your beautiful brelfie with us.

Diabetes is increasingly common among women of reproductive age – and its impact extends well beyond glucose management. Type 1, type 2 and gestational diabetes present unique challenges that can impact on maternal wellbeing, infant health and breastfeeding outcomes.

Our freshly updated eModule takes a closer look at the lived experience of diabetes in the perinatal period. Inside, you’ll explore:

- the impact of diabetes during pregnancy and early postpartum
- common challenges affecting breastfeeding
- practical, evidence-informed strategies to better support mothers in your care.

JUNE SPECIAL: Until the end of June, you can enrol for the special discounted rate of just $20!
