Mum and Me magazine was born out of the desire to support new mothers, with the aim of eventually being able to support the groups they often rely upon.

Mum and Me magazine enables new mums to access useful information without scary, sensationalist stories and without being bombarded by advertising from large corporations. The content supports gentle parenting and breastfeeding by introducing positive role models and images.

Mum and Me magazine is working towards assisting mothers’ peer support groups to raise funds for themselves by selling copies of the magazine. It is a unique concept in publishing and someone once said ‘it is like the Big Issue for babies’ and they were spot on. Enabling peer support groups to be partially self-sustaining is a major goal for the magazine project. We believe very strongly in community support for new mums.

Many health professionals, lactation consultants, peer supporters and mums, have expressed their approval, support and enthusiasm for this project.

We strive to comply with the WHO Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes. Please check on the Links page for a direct link to the document if you are not familiar with it.

Mum & Me magazine is independently owned and published. The magazine is managed by a single person who relies on articles from other mums and professionals to bring to you a diverse range of topics and depth of knowledge.
