Lactation consultant and Nurse, Courtney Hawkins, answers the breastfeeding questions new mums are too embarrassed to ask

When a mother is thinking about breastfeeding or learning for the first time, a lot of questions come up, so let me answer the most common ones. As a lactation consultant, NICU nurse and mother of four, I have sat with so many new mums who quietly ask the same questions once they feel safe enough.   So, let’s get into them! Is breastfeeding meant to hurt? The short answer is no BUT in the early days and weeks it can feel tender and awkward. Trying get baby to latch properly and holding them in the right position takes time and…

Mum Health Investments Worth Budgeting For in 2026

Being a mum can be exhausting! Between caring for children. Keeping up with household chores. Supporting a partner. Managing work commitments. And, in many cases, helping ageing parents. There is rarely a moment when someone isn’t relying on you. In fact, many women spend their days juggling responsibilities from morning until night. Often putting their own needs at the bottom of the list. With so much going on, it’s completely understandable that their personal health can get put on the back burner. A missed exercise session here. A postponed health check there. Another week of poor sleep. It can all…

Meet J.I.M | 30-Minute Infrared Fitness Studio, Bondi Junction & Paddington

Between school drop-offs, work, family life and trying to squeeze in a little time for yourself, finding a fitness routine that actually fits your life can feel impossible.

Independent Property Valuation vs Agent Appraisal: What Every Australian Homeowner Should Know

Most Australian homeowners have received an agent appraisal at some point and assumed it told them what their property is worth. It gives a number, it comes from someone who knows the market, and it costs nothing. What’s not to like? The problem is that an appraisal and a valuation are not the same thing. They are prepared by different professionals, for different purposes, and carry very different legal weight. Confusing the two in the wrong situation can mean incorrect tax calculations, a failed finance application, or a major decision made on a figure that has no legal standing behind…

The Rise of Stackable Qualifications: Building Skills One Course at a Time

The biggest hurdle for professionals wanting to learn more isn’t going back to study per se, it’s finding a way to make it work logistically. Balancing an already busy career with an even busier home life can make taking time off for a full-time qualification seem impossible. Consequently, many people quietly agree to prolong their tenure in their existing role by a couple of years, not from a deficit of ambition, but because enacting the next phase feels too unsettling. Yet at the same time, there’s more pressure than ever to keep upskilling. Job descriptions change, industries evolve, and it…
