The BUMP&CO. bi-weekly newsletter for pregnant and new parents in Hong Kong
As you navigate the incredible (and sometimes overwhelming) world of early parenthood, this week invites us to pause and reflect on something deeply personal yet powerfully public: breastfeeding.
World Breastfeeding Awareness Week isn’t just about milk. It’s about choice, support and community - especially here in Hong Kong, where many parents juggle tradition, career pressure and high-density living with the emotional rollercoaster of new parenthood.
Rates are rising, but exclusive breastfeeding for six months remains tough for many. Whether due to work, family pressure or sheer exhaustion - you are not alone.
The Unspoken Realities
Breastfeeding can be:
A political act in public spaces
A privilege not afforded to working-class parents without paid leave
A lifeline in emergencies and food-insecure communities
A trauma trigger for survivors of sexual violence
What Support Looks Like
Paid leave & lactation spaces
Inclusive care for all families
Respect for cultural feeding traditions
Safe, judgment-free spaces
Your Role Matters
Ask about workplace lactation policies
Support parents feeding in public
Share your feeding story - whatever it is!
🤍 If you're looking for Breastfeeding Resources in Hong Kong, check below or reach out for our recommendations of postnatal doulas and IBCLCs.
A huge thank you to our incredible mumbassadors for organising coffees, playdates and park picnics. You’re the heartbeat of this community — proving that it really does take a village to raise a child.

BIRTH BREATHING WORKSHOP WITH CALM 🌀
In this 2-hour class, you’ll learn three powerful breathing techniques designed to support you through each stage of labour - and ideally, become tools you carry with you well beyond birth. While we all breathe naturally without thinking, the breath needed during labour is more intentional, helping you connect with your body and your baby.
Much like training for a marathon, mastering these breathing techniques takes practice and purpose. 🗓️ Saturday, 30th August ⏰ 09:30-11:30 📍 Omkara Studio, Central 🎟️ Spots are limited, book here @calm_hongkong
