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!

While having plenty of milk might seem like a good problem to have, an oversupply of breast milk can actually be very uncomfortable for mother and baby. Overly full breasts can become very painful, and the strong milk flow can be quite overwhelming for a baby and even hinder a healthy development.

Breastfeeding in public is a highly controversial topic—not only among breastfeeding mums, but also in society in general. While some mothers have no problem putting their little one to the breast in public places, others can’t even think of it without feeling uncomfortable. What does the law say about publicly nursing a child? Is breastfeeding allowed in public? What are the rules for breastfeeding in public in the UK? And how does breastfeeding in public work?

Is it necessary to take food supplements for breastfeeding? What nutrients should you increase while breastfeeding? And what supplements for breastfeeding are superfluous?
