Love Grace's Place

Apologies to anyone who has been missing out on us since Christmas. We have had a run of it with covid and a few things with miss grace herself!!! All good now but just need some time to get back into it and push to bring Love, Grace's place forward. 💜💜💜

Drop a picture of the first time you held your NICU baby 💜

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New year💜💜💜

Empty arms

He sat upon the couch, his arms were open wide.
He was waiting for a baby to be placed inside.
Instead his arms were empty...a place where a baby should be. A baby that gained it's wings and now is flying free.
He bowed his head and said a prayer with a teardrop in his eye. He took a deep breath and tried not to cry.
Merry Christmas in Heaven to all the babies that won't see Santa this year. Know that you are dearly missed and we wish that you were here.

A huge thank you to Dave Roche, who donated a massive €500 to Love, Grace's Place. 💜💜 Donations to the Neonatal unit like this allow the unit to purchase equipment they need, to have days in the unit where family get to see babies maybe for the first time after weeks, to provide help where help is needed 💜💜💜
If we can relieve some of the burden parents are facing in probably some of the hardest times of their lives, then our purpose will remain and we will continue to raise awareness and funds for the wonderful unit 💜💜💜
Again thank you so much Dave and your gorgeous daughter Aoibheann 💜💜

Have you got your family PJs yet? ✨

Got leaking milk?

🙋‍♀️ Raise your hand if you’ve ever had to change the sheets because your milk leaked all over them.

💃 Dance if you just threw down a towel and went back to sleep.

🤷‍♀️ Shrug if you didn’t do anything at all and just rolled over and went to sleep.

Leaking happens when the tissue is very full and the sphincters (valves) of the milk duct relax, allowing milk to flow out of the ni**le. Leaking or even spraying can also happen when oxytocin is released in the brain, the hormone responsible for signaling the body to relax and release milk. Most leaking stops between 6-12 weeks, some may have it continue until about 4-6 months, and a few will experience leaking their entire lactation journey (our founder is one of those- that’s where the name comes from!) Not everyone leaks and it’s ok if you don’t. For those of us that do, waking up in a puddle is just one of the more unglamorous aspects of nursing! It’s also why we’re grateful for our waterproof mattress covers.

TLB supporter, Naturepedic has organic Waterproof Mattress Protector https://bit.ly/3IUHBQ1 and there’s 15% off with the code TLB15.

Tis' the season to save! We've got gifts they'll love, for everyone on your list, at new lower prices in store now! 🎁

Baby’s come in all shapes and sizes. One nappy might fit great one baby but might not another.

Baby’s can be heavy wetters or light wetters.

It can all be so confusing when trying to get cloth right. When you find what works it will all fall into place.

If you have a nappy you love the fit of but the absorbency just does not suit you can simply change up the inserts to the ones that do.

It can be all trial and error so don’t get disheartened. You just may need a simple tweak and it will all come together.

Remember to reach out and ask for help advise if you need a helping hand x
