Our first in-person Mother Community meet-ups
are up and running in Bristol, UK.
We are very excited to announce the launch of our first in-person community meet-ups. Running alongside our online calls, these spaces are the place to come to meet and journey alongside other mothers, including a few of us.
The meet-ups will be open to all mothers. You do not have to breastfeeding anymore to join us.

Our Sun Bloom video podcasts are live!
The Sun Bloom Conversations is a series of conversations from around the world inspired by the censorship on social media of the image by Chloe Trayhurn of a breastfeeding mother as "sexually provocative adult content".
The podcasts will open up space to talk it out, explore the reasons for the censorship - which go well beyond social media - how we feel about it, and the real world results of it. We'll rage and laugh and grieve and explore through various lenses, always bringing the focus back onto how incredible women's bodies really are and what we can do to bring ownership of our bodies back to ourselves.
Chloe Trayhurn's painting Sun Bloom, which we have printed onto stunning scarves in collaboration with Chloe has been censored by Facebook as "sexually suggestive adult content", and we've had rather enough.
We will be exploring this topic in a series of podcasts.
Let's bring the focus away from shaming women and their bodies and back onto just how remarkable women and their bodies actually are.
A conversation between Wisdom Blogs Founder Liza K Collins MD
and our Founder Claire Tchaikowski.
"Imagine if everywhere we went [if we're struggling with breastfeeding], people said 'Ok, we need to help you, because we know how important this is both for the next generation and also for you.' and within a day you could be seen by people who get it"
Human Milk in Juno Magazine
JUNO Magazine's new Spring 2021 issue features 3 pages on human milk, and Human Milk. Our Founder Claire explores the contents of our milk and has a bit of a rant, calling for mothers and breastfeeding support organisations to get the recognition, social framework and funding they need for breastfeeding to really succeed.
The article includes a photo of gorgeous Dede and her tiny human. Thank you Dede!
