Many people want to learn as much as they can about birth, but not as many prepare to feed their baby their milk. There are several ways to get ready to breast or chest feed:

1. Take a class 🎓
2. Find your support ahead of time 💓
3. Contact your insurance provider ☎️
4. Talk to your boss 📤
5. Create a postpartum plan 🐣

How did you prepare to breast/chest feed? Tell us in the comments.

💛 Did you know that your body can start to produce milk as early as the second trimester? Colostrum, baby! While some people leak colostrum prior to birth, it is important to remember that leaking is not an indicator of future milk supply.

💛 Colostrum is high in protein, fat-soluble vitamins, minerals, and antibodies that protect the baby from bacterial and viral illnesses. It is a thick, yellowish substance that is commonly referred to as “liquid gold” due to its color.

💛 Because a newborn baby’s stomach is so small in size for the first few days after birth, it only takes a little bit of colostrum for them to get all of its benefits. Those tiny bellies fill and empty frequently, which is also due to colostrum: it has a laxative effect that helps the new baby eliminate meconium from its system.

💛 There has been an increase in awareness of hand expressing or catching colostrum before birth. The expressed colostrum can be used to supplement your new baby in certain situations. Additionally, it helps expectant parents learn to hand express and grow more confident in their body **As always, please check with your health care provider prior to antenatal expression.**

What surprised you the most about your milk transitioning from colostrum?

Lifesaving. Traumatic.
Cesarean births can be both.
Sometimes by necessity. Sometimes by choice. It is not “the easy way out.” 🙄
It is not lesser than a vaginal birth 🙄
Magic happened here ✨

April is Cesarean Awareness Month. It is aimed at reducing preventable C-sections, improving recovery, and supporting Vaginal Birth After Cesarean (VBAC). It highlights that nearly 1 in 3 births are cesarean, focusing on education, informed decision-making, and honoring the strength of parents recovering from major abdominal surgery.

Key aspects of Cesarean Awareness Month include:
* Preventing Unnecessary Surgeries: Researchers estimate nearly half of all cesareans could be safely prevented.
* Safety and Risks: While often life-saving, C-sections are major surgeries that carry risks like hemorrhage, sepsis, and organ injury, often with longer recovery times.
* Empowerment and Education: The International Cesarean Awareness Network (ICAN) advocates for informed consent, letting parents know they have options regarding providers, birth settings, and VBAC.
* Supporting Recovery: The month emphasizes support for the physical and emotional recovery from abdominal surgery, often while caring for a newborn.
* Advocacy: * It aims to reduce stigma, improve care, and ensure birth plans are respected.

Hot take, inspired by a clients we’ve worked with 🌶

This also applies if your lactation support person makes you feel like 💩 or unsupported for ANY reason. All support is not created equally.

This of my favorite illustrations of breast anatomy!
・・・
Our breasts tend to not be celebrated very often for what they were actually created to do. What our bodies are capable of providing for another living being is incredible and nothing short of perfection and should never be shamed, but celebrated.⠀⁠⠀
⠀⠀⁠⠀
Our milk ducts are intricate and life giving network of channels nestled among fat cells and glandular tissue. These milk ducts branch off near our chest wall and are called ductules which have small cluster of sacs called alveoli. A cluster of alveoli are called lobule and a cluster of lobules are called lobe.⠀⁠⠀
⠀⁠⠀
AXILLARY LIMPH NODES⠀⁠⠀
The axillary lymph nodes help fight infection in our bodies by filtering lymph fluid from your breasts.⠀⁠⠀
⠀⁠⠀
FATTY TISSUE⠀⁠⠀
Fat tissue surrounds the ducts and lobules.⠀⁠⠀
⠀⁠⠀
LOBULES⠀⁠⠀
Produces milk during pregnancy and breastfeeding.⠀⁠⠀
⠀⁠⠀
FIBROUS TISSUE⠀⁠⠀
This tissue helps support your breasts and is what makes them feel firm.⠀⁠⠀
⠀⁠⠀
MILK DUCTS⠀⁠⠀
The milk ducts carry milk from the lobules to your ni**le during breastfeeding.⠀⁠⠀
⠀⁠⠀
AREOLA⠀⁠⠀
Is the dark area around your ni**le.⁠

It’s World Doula Week! Yesterday was World Doula Day. March 22nd specifically was chosen because it is around the Spring Equinox, which represents the return of fertility in countless cultures.

WDW recognizes the role that doulas play in the health of parents, babies, and families in the birth and postpartum period. Doulas can shorten the length of labor, reduce the risk of c-sections, increase rates of breast/chest feeding initiation and duration, and reduce the incidence of postpartum mood disorders.

We are grateful for the doulas that work collaboratively with us to support new families and baby’s feeding plan. Thankful for the work you do to empower families in their feeding journeys ❤️

Did a doula support you with pregnancy, birth, or in the postpartum period? Show them some love below.

Wishing a very happy World Doula Week to a few of the fabulous doulas and doula orgs we get to work with. Give them a follow:














And more that we forgot 🙈

I often get asked how It’s More Than Milk practices and what our approach is. The best way I can describe it is Integrative Lactation Care. It’s a different way of thinking about lactation support: one that sees you as a whole person, not just a milk maker. 

Integrative lactation care brings together science, compassion, and holistic healing to support both you and your baby. It’s more than just help with latch and supply (we do that, too).

It is whole person support for you and your baby. Integrative lactation support provides evidence-based lactation guidance with holistic approaches. This can include nutrition, bodywork, mental health support, and infant wellness.

From nutrition to posture, from emotional wellness to baby’s comfort: it’s all connected. Feeding your baby isn’t just about milk. It’s also about healing, balance, and confidence. 🤱

Ready to feel supported in every way? Head to the link in bio to learn more about our offerings.
