Christmas is a season of warmth, comfort, and togetherness — and for mums, it’s also about finding little ways to care for our children while creating meaningful moments.

  • Always ensure recipes are age-appropriate for your baby or toddler

  • Breastmilk powder should be added after cooking where possible, to preserve nutrients
