Our regular Monday meetings will be taking a bit of a pause or looking a bit different over the next couple of months.
This week we will be meeting on Monday morning for a gentle walk and possibly stop off for a coffee along the way. We will be meeting slightly earlier than our usual group, so it should be still cool enough for the little ones.
A great way to start your week off with some movement and chats with fellow parents.

With Ramadan beginning this week, today we're sharing some information from our guest blog post - Supporting Breastfeeding During Ramadan.

"As peer supporters, we have great duty in supporting mums to feel empowered to achieve their goals by giving information so their decisions are informed. Supporting mothers during Ramadan is no different to helping mums reduce factors that may have a negative impact on their breast feeding or supply.

Things to consider are:

✨Mums will need to eat high nutrient dense food such as date, fruits and nuts to help replace the magnesium, zinc and potassium levels that may reduce during fasting.

✨Avoid drinking too many caffeinated drinks and replace with water, fresh fruits juice, herbal teas and green smoothies.

✨If a mum is fasting during the winter months which can fall between 10/12hrs of fasting, this is much easier as the sunset is much earlier and they have a longer period to eat and drinking during dawn. So really its like having a very late lunch.

For peer supporters who are not Muslim or who may not know much about Ramadan, it is imperative to keep in mind that choice should always be at the forefront of any breastfeeding journey and the support we provide will very much be based on an individual case by case basis. It’s also okay to say I’m not sure and signpost/refer mums to other sources for more information.

EDIT - Fasting while breastfeeding is not an expectation, but you can choose to if you wish, and it is safe for you to do so. If you are considering fasting while breastfeeding, you may find it helpful to talk a health professional.

Please remember, if you need breastfeeding support, our National Breastfeeding Helpline UK is available 24/7 💜

You can also find out if we have a service near you on our website:

Whether you are just starting to think about growing your family, or you’ve been navigating this path for some time, we see you. At Cuidiú, we know that the journey to conception isn’t always a straight line—it’s a deeply personal experience that deserves kindness.

It is completely normal to feel a mix of excitement, impatience, or even anxiety. Remember to be gentle with yourself. Your worth is not defined by a biological timeline.

When you’re looking for clarity amidst all the "old wives' tales," turning to reputable sources can help ground you. Here are a few evidence-based pillars for those trying to conceive:
* Folic Acid: Taking a daily supplement of 400 micrograms is recommended before conception to support early spinal development.
* Understanding your cycle can help. Research shows the highest probability of conception occurs during the 2-day window ending on the day of ovulation.
* Lifestyle over Perfection: Small, sustainable changes—like moderate exercise and reducing alcohol—are more effective and less stressful than trying to achieve a "perfect" lifestyle overnight.
* When to seek help: If you are under 35 and have been trying for a year (or 6 months if over 35), it is okay—and encouraged—to reach out to a GP for a chat.

In parenthood, connection over perfection is what matters most.
All those little moments of connection and reconnection every day are what builds healthy attachment relationships for our children ❤️
