Café Milk - Horley

🏃‍♀️ HUGE THANK YOU TO POLLY & SAM! 🏃‍♂️

We are incredibly grateful to Polly and her brother Sam, who are running the Reigate Half Marathon to raise vital funds for Café Milk.

Our charity is incredibly close to their hearts, as their mum helped set up the group nearly 20 years ago in 2007!

As a small charity, we rely entirely on amazing supporters like them. 1 in every 4 mums in East Surrey relies on our drop-in sessions in Horley, Redhill, and Caterham for crucial infant feeding support. Every penny raised keeps our doors open. If you are able, please show Polly and Sam your support by sponsoring their run!

Love this explanation and visual representation from Milk and Motherhood - Johanna Sargeant IBCLC. Really useful video to keep handy when the weather gets warmer.

Thought this may be useful link to put here as we head into a week of super hot weather.

We talk all about the safest baby room temperature for your baby, reducing the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS, cot death).

Good afternoon all,

As we head into this week with a weather warning and Mondays temperatures looking like they are going to be high, please only attend if you really need to see someone for feeding support.

The amber warning is in place until Thursday.

Thank you
The Cafe Milk Team 💙

I'll be honest, I'm expecting to hear from lots of UK parents with mastitis symptoms this week.
Why? Post heatwave comedown.

During the extreme heat we've had, lots of little ones have been boobing loads more than usual. Might have been waking for extra (sweaty) night feeds too. Can be pretty intense, but all very normal, and might have led to a bit of a supply boost!

But the weather is changing pretty quickly back to cooler (hurray!)
So it's entirely possible that the amount of breastfeeds is going to drop down, and maybe bigger gaps in between, leaving b***s sitting there much fuller than usual.
And that right there is a potential risk factor for mastitis.

Remember, mastitis isn't usually a breast infection. It's inflammation and milk that isn't moving as well, which causes inflammation, which stops milk moving well, and so on...

So what can you do?
Keep an eye on your b***s. If in doubt, and your little one isn't up for a feed, hand express (or express) off enough to feel softer and more comfortable.

If you do start to feel any tenderness or pain, swelling, heat, or see any redness if you are of lighter skin tones, get in there quickly with the self help measures (cold compresses for example, not heat and massage)
Look after yourself x
