Don't be a fool on April fools day! Try your best to follow the 5-5-5 rule!

It is SO important to rest and take it easy even if you feel great after birth! You will thank yourself later if you slow down during those first couple weeks postpartum.

There is so much that both you and baby are learning for the first time! Please let us know if you need some extra support in feeding your baby! We would love to be part of your village!

DIY Pumping Bra Hack

You’re home with your new baby; nursing, snuggling, and getting to know this new little human. You haven’t purchased a pumping bra because you haven’t gotten around to it yet or maybe didn’t really think you’d need one. But here you are, in need of a pumping bra so you can do some hands free pumping.

Worry not! There’s some stuff you likely received from your labor/delivery that you can use at this moment to get your hands free-pumping journey started. It requires no sewing, no hot glue, and zero creativity. You know those mesh panties the hospital gave you? Grab two pairs of those and some scissors and you’re well on your way to a soft, comfortable and no-cost pumping bra.

The best way to relay this hack is for you to see it done, so watch the video above and watch Katy guide you through the steps to this DIY pumping bra hack.

Don't have a pumping bra? Don't worry! Here's a great pump hack to help get you through. Get your leftover mesh panties and a pair of scissors to make you...

How to Use a Ni**le Shield for Breastfeeding

It is highly recommended that you work with a lactation consultant to guide you through ni**le shield usage so that you can be sure you’re using the right ni**le shield and that you’re using it for the right reasons.

Ni**le shields come in different sizes and different shapes. So how do you determine which one is best for you? A ni**le shield that is too large will move around and have trouble staying in place whereas one that is the proper size will use your breast’s ni**le as a foundation to stay in place.

To apply the ni**le shield, flip the outer rim up, place the ni**le piece over your own ni**le and apply to your breast. A properly-fitting ni**le shield will help draw your ni**le into the shield which helps the shield stay in place during use.

Lactation consultants are able to assist in the use and fit of ni**le shields. Please speak with an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) to be sure ni**le shields are the best option for your particular challenge.

You've decided you need a ni**le shield, but how does it work? How do you put it on? Some tips and tricks for using a ni**le shield properly for breastfeed...
