À Maurice, seules 20 % des mères allaitent exclusivement leur bébé pendant les six premiers mois recommandés par l’OMS, qui vise 50 % d’ici 2027. Ce chiffre, confirmé par le ministère de la Santé lors d’un symposium national en août 2026, n’a rien d’une fatalité culturelle. Il raconte surtout un manque de soutien structurel et…

How to Increase Iron in Your Baby’s Meals (What I Wish I’d Known at 6 Months)
I learned that my baby’s iron was running low from social media. Not from a doctor, a book or my family. As a first-time mum with no babies in my immediate circle, I genuinely had no idea where to start with solids. I didn’t know what to give first, how much, or why any of…

What Does a Lactation Consultant Actually Do?
I didn’t know what a lactation consultant was until I badly needed one and didn’t know where to find one. That gap, between needing help and knowing what kind of help exists, is one of the reasons Nutura exists at all. So before we talk about anything else, let’s close that gap. The short answer…

30 Weeks Pregnant: Ten Weeks to Go and Your Baby Is Getting Heavy | Nutura Mauritius
Facebook Pinterest WhatsApp Ten weeks. That number lands differently at 30 weeks than it would have at 20. At 20 weeks, ten weeks felt like a long way. At 30, ten weeks is close enough to feel.

28 Weeks Pregnant: The Last Week of the Second Trimester
Facebook Pinterest WhatsApp This is the last week of the second trimester. Next week the third begins, and with it a different quality of pregnancy altogether. The final stretch.

Facebook Pinterest WhatsApp The second trimester that started at week fourteen with the gradual lifting of first-trimester nausea is ending.

Safe Sleep for Newborns in Mauritius: The Complete Guide (0–6 Months)
Before anything else about sleep, before wake windows and bedtime routines and whether to swaddle or not, there is this. The environment your baby sleeps in for the first six months of their life is the most consequential sleep decision you will make. Not the method. Not the timing. Not whether baby falls asleep at…

Toddler Sleep Guide: Why Everything Changed at One Year
You had figured it out. Not perfectly, nothing about baby sleep is ever perfect, but you had a routine that worked, a bedtime that was mostly predictable, an understanding of your baby’s tired signs that meant most nights went reasonably well.
