Just no.

The things I have heard this week from patients astounds me. Can’t we do better for moms and babies?

No, your ni***es don’t need to toughen up.
No, you’re not making things up.
No, a formula top off isn’t the best plan.
No, actually breastfeeding does matter.
No, dad giving formula isn’t a way to help mom.
No, it won’t just get better with no intervention.

Have you been told you’re making things up? That formula is no big deal? That baby will outgrow their symptoms?

Book a consult today, and let’s actually solve problems together.

Why a tongue tie is so much more than “they can stick their tongue out”.

🙂‍↔️ Tongue tie encompasses the whole body, not just their tongue.

👅 You can see whole body restrictions, whole body compensations. This is why it is KEY to have a knowledgeable provider who UNDERSTANDS your baby’s body and how this restrictive fascia is impacting you and your baby, and no it won’t be the same for each mom and baby.

🙂‍↔️ If you went to a provider and they told you “no your baby doesn’t have a tongue tie, they can stick their tongue out”, RUN and find a different provider.

👅 Can you spot this baby’s issues (spoiler alert, she has tongue tie), but she can stick out her tongue 🙃

🫸🏼Things her doctor didn’t assess for; lip blisters (she was told it was chapped lips), poor oral resting tone, torticollis, poor milk transfer, nervous system agitation, poor functional assessments, short feeding times and the general lack of maternal wellbeing.

🙂‍↔️ This mom was experiencing prolonged ni**le pain and damage, baby preferred a certain side, and her baby was labeled as having “colic”, could only turn comfortably to one side and had trouble taking a pacifier.

👅 So what did we do? We looked at the whole baby, the whole mom and put together a clinical picture with a functional assessment, monitoring transfer weights, moms milk supply, addressing root cause for ni**le pain, infant assessment and functional testing.

Hot take: your husband can do a lot more than giving your baby a bottle to “bond with them”.

I’ve seen many a time that mom feels like she needs to pump so her husband can “bond” with their baby.

There are literally a thousand ways that you can bond with your baby that don’t involve a bottle.

Let your husband rise to the challenge and take the lead with bonding with your baby.

Having a lactation consultation should not be something that feels hurried or difficult. Having a visit should feel a little like this corner, peaceful, relaxing and respectful of your motherly autonomy. Mothers come to me at all different places in their feeding journey, some at the end of their rope and hopeless. You should leave your visit with answers and confidence in your feeding journey. Did you know that I do office and home visits and I work with most insurance companies? 💕Come see me at

When you’re in another country and you spot this on the milk container! The WHO recommends breastfeeding for 2 years to provide optimal nutrition and lifelong health benefits. Why does that not seem to be the “norm” in the USA though? For support and assistance, please reach out to help meet your feeding goals.
