I dream that our children will one day live in a world where no one blinks an eye when a baby is latched in public.

Where a server continues to look you in the eye while you order with a sleeping baby at the breast.

A world where people dont think they have to bring a bottle of pumped milk with them just because they're going out for the day.

Breastfeeding may be legal in all provinces/territories and states but it certainly isn't normalized.

Love celebrities who make their breastfeeding journey public.
Though the years I’ve seen Coco and husband Ice T as well as The Rock and his wife Lauren in the media so often breast feeding their littles till natural term.

( this is a screen shot as I didn’t want all those nasty comments to get more attention that they already were)

Safer Co-Sleeping

It is perfectly normal for babies to wake and feed at night throughout at least the first year of life. For many breastfeeding parents, bedsharing becomes a convenient way to tend to their baby’s needs throughout the night while also getting enough rest to take on the next day.

There are a few important safety measures to adhere to in order to make co-sleeping safer for your baby (the Safe Sleep 7).

There is so much to do before we decide on a frenectomy (tongue tie release)

So much collaboration between myself, your body workers and chosen dentist to ensure your baby is ready

I want to do everything first before helping you decide if this is what your baby actually needs

Sometimes a different nursing position and tension release can change everything. Exercises to help improve oral function as a release alone wont do that.
And sometimes we just need more time.
