Ūkaipō is a series of videos that explores the challenges and joys of breastfeeding in relation to the Māori creation story. In these videos, the stages of Te Kore, Te Pō and Te Ao Marama relate to the different stages parents encounter when breastfeeding and parenting our newborn pēpi. The creation story teaches us that all things are cyclical – the challenges, growth, development and joys that our pēpi bring, help us to grow as parents. As whānau, we come through challenges and experience the light and the darkness together, always growing and always changing.
Episode 1: Te kore – the realm of potential
Episode 2: Te Pō – the realm of becoming
