Portrait Hebamme Ann-Katrin Hiller
Welcome to our blog!

My name is Ann-Katrin Hiller and I am a midwife at Team Livella. I have been practising this amazing profession for 10 years. As a midwife, I support women throughout the unique journey that is pregnancy, birth and postpartum.

What makes this profession my passion is that I get to provide mums-to-be not only with medical support, but also with emotional security. It is a very special time which is accompanied by questions, worries and fears, and I provide the necessary security and reassurance so that future parents can go through this phase in a relaxed manner.

I am really proud of guiding families through these crucial moments and giving them strength when they need it. Having a direct impact on the wellbeing of new mothers and their newborns makes my work deeply meaningful.

I am sure that you will find many interesting topics and products here at Livella that can accompany and support you during this unique time. Have fun browsing!

For many expecting mothers and their partners, preparing for birth and parenthood is an integral part of pregnancy. But one aspect many future parents forget about is to prepare for breastfeeding.

The World Health Organisation recommends exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months. Thereafter, breastfeeding should be continued alongside solid foods for up to 2 years (or even longer). This means that, even if a mother decides to take the full 52 weeks of maternity leave she is legally entitled to in the UK, there will be an overlap between breastfeeding and the return to work.

There are many different breastfeeding problems that can lead to pain during the nursing period, one of them being a thrush infection on the nipples. Breastfeeding thrush can develop both on the mother’s nipples and in the baby’s mouth. Giving a clear thrush diagnosis is not always easy because the symptoms may be similar to other causes of breast or nipple pain.

It’s not uncommon for a woman’s nipples to become sore during the first few days and weeks of breastfeeding. While sore nipples can be a real nuisance, the pain gets much worse when the nipples crack open and start bleeding.
