We blinked and somehow there are only a couple of days left in 2025. This year was all about going with the curve balls thrown at us, from insurance changes to moving an office while still seeing families 😵‍💫 Growth in 2025 showed up in quieter ways, through stronger systems, deeper support, and a healthier team. Swipe through for a breakdown of the year by numbers.

A few stats not included in the graphic:
🧤 478,901: pairs of gloves used
🐶 97: number of fur babies we met at home visits
💦 11: smallest fl**ge size measured

As always, a huge thank you to the therapists, dentists, body workers, doulas, and other perinatal professionals for recommending me and working collaboratively to optimize a baby’s health and their feeding! The biggest thank you goes to the families who have trusted me with their precious babies. I can’t wait to share what’s planned for 2026 🥂

This is a gentle reminder that you can love your child AND still wish for a fast forward button for your life. Two opposing feelings can be true at the same time.

Read that again.

You aren’t broken, you aren’t a bad parent, you don’t hate your child (and they don’t hate you), and you certainly haven’t messed anything up. Your feelings are always valid.

So let’s talk about it, because I’m certain you’re not alone. There’s so much beauty and even power in knowing you’re not the only one stuck in the sucky stuff.

Tell me in the comments about whether your current phase of is one that you love, or whether it’s one you’d prefer to skip over.

For many families in the US with a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA), December means it’s time to spend the money in the account before it disappears. If you need to spend your remaining funds, here are some practical ideas:

1. Lactation support: It’s More Than Milk accepts FSA and HSA cards all year long!

2. Breast pumps and supplies: While this includes pumps, pumping bags, replacement parts, and lactation items, it does NOT include baby bottles. I know, I don’t get it either.

3. Menstrual products: Stock up on pads, tampons, cups, period underwear, and other items that you need to help with your menstrual cycle.

4. Sunscreen and prescription sunglasses: Sun protection is where it’s at! Get some fancy new shades that allow you to see in the bright sunshine. If you’re looking for sunscreen, here’s a pro tip: head to ’s website, search for FSA/HSA Eligible, and shop your heart out. The list of items includes some skincare products, too! You’re welcome.

5. Pain Relief Items: In addition to over the counter medications, you can use FSA funds for non-medicated pain relief items, such as massage guns, heating pads, and wrap/braces for carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis pain, and more.

6. Fertility Products and Contraception: Pregnancy and fertility tests are FSA eligible, along with condoms, birth control for women, and ovulation trackers. Even medication for erectile dysfunction is FSA eligible.

How did you spend your leftover FSA or HSA funds? Tell me in the comments. Be sure to bookmark this post for later and share with a friend.

This is one of the most frequently asked questions I get during prenatal and postpartum visits. While the decision to have a drink while making milk is a very personal one, it’s important to know the pros and cons to make the best decision for your family.

Can you believe that it’s Hanukkah and that Christmas is almost here? And New Years isn’t far behind?! I wanted to share some tips on making it through this magical but often stressful time. Unsolicited advice, a packed calendar, and everyone wanting to hold the baby can derail even the best nursing relationship or robust milk supply. Swipe through for five tips on surviving the holidays as a milk making parent.

Here’s a reminder as we start to feel the pressure to create ✨holiday magic✨ on top of all the other things we do.

I’m not knocking the Pinterest parents - more power to them! Many of us don’t have the time, inclination, or funds for beautifully decorated homes, making snowflake garlands out of different textured paper, or whatever your favorite content creator is doing. The magic is you and your family, not the aesthetic.

I often get asked what brought me to do this work, and like many others in my field, it was my own experience that got me interested in lactation.

While nursing my youngest child presented its own challenges, my journey with my oldest has left an indelible mark on me. It helped me figure out what I wanted to be when I grew up! To this day, I lean back on this experience when working with families.

Fifteen(!) years ago today, I had a baby boy three and a half weeks early. He was perfect and we all left the hospital early. I thought everything was going well with breastfeeding. Four days later, I saw just how wrong I was - he had lost nearly a pound from birth weight. Weeks of a nurse-pump-supplement routine (aka triple feeding) and using donor milk from a friend helped my milk supply and my son’s weight. After two months, I finally felt confident enough in my milk making abilities to stop weighing him regularly at the breastfeeding center close to my house. I returned to work at 12 weeks, and we continued to nurse for nearly 2 years.

This picture right here is my why. It’s why I became a lactation consultant. It’s why I work so hard to support my clients with their lactation goals. It’s why I provide them with evidence based info and empower them to make the best decision for themselves. All those long nights spent feeding and reading Kellymom and La Leche League’s websites to improve my own lactation experience turned into a calling. I couldn’t be more grateful to do what I do.

PS: this is us at Harmony Collab’s anniversary party from August. Yes, he is now taller than me and shaves his face. No, I can’t talk about it 🥹
