  3. What I wish I knew before breastfeeding and pumping.. 1. You don’t need to pump as soon as your baby is here to bring in your supply - just put them on the boob as often as you can in those first days. Enjoy the cuddles, skin to skin and time with your bub and it will come in naturally. 2. Don’t listen and compare yourself to people online, your friends/family or to your neighbour that produced enough for every baby on the street. Everyone is different and what you produce is the perfect amount. 3. A newborn baby has a stomach the size of a pea, they don’t need gallons of milk straight away. 4. Your milk might not come in straight away. That’s ok!! Stay positive, keep cuddling and loving your baby and it will happen. And if it doesn’t, there are options! Just don’t stress yourself out. 5. Newborns lose weight in the first week - it’s normal. By day 7 you will have some idea of what feeding journey you are on and will be able to work it out from there. 6. See an LC! Listen to midwives and nurses but don’t take it as textbook, research for yourself and ask questions. If you’re wanting to breastfeed I highly recommend chatting to a LC before you give birth. 7. There is no need to pack your fridge and freezer with milk. Just no. 8. If you want to breastfeed, you won’t need to really start expressing and storing milk until 4 weeks in if that’s what you want to do. You will be feeding on demand until then so don’t think on day 7 you need a fridge full of milk. 9. Don’t be bullied into thinking you need to be making more milk than you are. Your baby will be the best to determine your supply so trust the process. 10. Be kind to yourself. You’re doing fucking great sweetie. I know what it’s like to stress about the amounts that are coming out when expressing and that it doesn’t seem like enough, but it is. If you need to top up with formula that is fine too!! Don’t be bullied to think formula is bad. Your baby and your body will determine your journey, just trust the process. Colostrum: I never got colostrum prior to Elke. I tried to express and it never came. That’s ok!! Not everyone will be able to express prior to their baby arriving. Xoxo

  1. 🍣 SUSHI ON A BOAT @sushibrazilia made in a FOOD TRUCK!? Am I tripping? As soon as I saw @jasyan_ video of eating sushi in a sushi boat at the BEACH, I knew I had to try it. You’ve probably brought sushi takeout and eaten at the beach but not with a boat!? Chef Leo, who’s come from a culinary background and worked at Mr Miyagi for many years prior, has opened up this beachside kerbside food truck for 2.5 years and business is busy as always bc locals and people around Melbourne are ordering it for catering events or just to walk over and eat by the beach. Brazilian Japanese modern style sushi is a first for me, but supposedly is quite popular in Brazil 🇧🇷. They incorporate more cream cheese but Leo has his own flare with the crunchy bits of texture and umami. Looks like any other modern/fusion sushi joint but I’ve never had crispy salmon skin underneath a beautifully raw salmon. Definitely saucier than traditional sushi as well as fusion sushi spots, but they haven’t lost the fatty umami taste of the salmon or fish. Highlight was definitely the crispy salmon skin sushi roll which was a perfect harmony of sweet, salty, crunchy and soft. If we’re talking about texture, the panko fried sushi rolls with cream cheese was the ultimate fusion bomb and the best one I’ve had in Melbourne. Boat can be available with Combo A ($139) or B ($169) which is reasonably priced. I love my traditional sushi platters in Hawthorn and Camberwell, but this one sent me off to shore and on a boat to Brazil & Japan. 100% worth the drive, especially if you’re wanting the ultimate sushi date experience ✨ I’ll become the local they hate, because I’m ungatekeeping this hidden gem @sushibrazilia invite #melbournefood #melbournesushi #melbournejapanesefood #braziliansushi #friedsushi

  2. 🇻🇳 VIETNAMESE CHARRD? 🍔 @searbytungthit NO ONE HAS DONE THIS AT A BANH MI SHOP @facemeat_tungthit is revolutionising banh mi, the goated SANDWICH in the world with their ALL DAY & NIGHT charcoal operation. @searbytungthit is searing all their premium quality meats and wagyu to execute I dare say restaurant dining flavours at this corner shop in Springvale. Your favourite meaty street foods in Melbourne is all at this one stop shop including wagyu truffle burger, steak frites, charcoal chicken and ofc banh mi 🥖 🍔 wagyu truffle burger, truffle mayo, caramelised onion, Vietnamese pickled cucumber, chilli jam 4/5 (if changed to potato Martins bun 4.5/5) 🥖 steak & eggs banh mi 3.8/5 🐖 crispy pork belly banh mi (banh mi heo quay) 4.2/5 🥩 steak frites with truffle butter & XO sate sauce 4.75/5 🥯 garlic cream cheese brioche bun 4/5 (together with XO sauce 4.5/5 ☕️ viet iced coffee 1L 5/5 I can’t believe you can even get this at a banh mi shop. With @tungthit_sizzlingsteak already bringing out A-game and showstopping performance from their beef Wellington & short rib banh mi, you already know @searbytungthit has nothing to hide and does not need to prove anything more. Highlights were the steak frites and the truffle burger which almost resembled my favourite burger but with a Vietnamese kick 🌶️🧅. Honestly would go back for all except the Steak & Eggs only bc I prefer it in a proper rice dish. As a proud Vietnamese who prefers authentic traditional style dishes, Anthony executes that breaking through tradition and elevating Vietnamese cuisine is possible. Insane quality and texture of the pork, steak (I heard their charcoal chicken is good) - another step up and you might feel like you’re walking into a fine dining establishment but in a cafe 🍽️ invite #melbournefood #melbournebanhmi #vietnamesesteakfrites #melbourneburgers #vietnamesefood

  3. 🥩 BEST BOTTOMLESS DEAL? @98lygonst Wednesday nights just got even better 98 Lygon Street Bar & Bistro is literally in its name. Not hiding anything, and bringing serious game with their steak and wine. On Wednesdays they are clearing the kitchen and is simply chopping and grilling DRY-AGED SIRLOIN STEAK for their $69pp BOTTOMLESS STEAK night 🥩 The perfect date night spot on a Wednesday. The girls eat up the fries, and the guys eat up the steak. Or if you’re like me, you eat both LOL 🤰 The steak was perfection. After we cleared one plate, the second plate came out and tasted even better. It is the quality of steak they use, and I dare say might be better than most wine bars that offer steak on the menu. It has a slight marbling, but still got a generous thickness of meat that is super easy to chew. The marinade enhances that meat and together with the chimichurri and the 8 Treasure 🎁 Butter, you really melt into your seat. You can add some extra sides that cuts through the richness of the steak. We got their romano beans which had a beautiful mixture of harissa, labneh and mint but I’m not a huge lover of beans. They also have 🍅 tomatoes with goat curd, charred leeks, or even the classic wine bar veggie fave butter lettuce 🥬 Great wine to pair with the steak, and you’ll be looked after by the team here. 100% coming back and would prefer this over a mid $30 steak night. invite #melbournefood #melbournesteak #wednesdaysteaknight #bottomlesssteakfries #melbournewinebar
