Somatic practices work from the body up so that we can fully understand how to regulate our nervous system through movement, breath, and self massage. Use all of these tools to truly comprehend what 'grounding yourself' can mean.

Imagine what it might feel like to be able to sense your full body and use your breath to find inner calm any time you need it! And what better time to keep connecting to your body than when you are growing and/or sustaining another little being?

There will also be a specific focus on how to use these tools to prepare for high-anxiety situations, like labor itself, coming down from stressors, and impending holidays. And, of course, ways of being a source of calm to co-regulate with your little one or partner.

Things to Consider When Selecting a Breast Pump

There are a variety of considerations for choosing the best breast pump for your needs. Among these are, how often you’ll be needing to pump and what your pumping setup will look like on any given day. It’s most likely that you will be using a standard double electric breast pump. Most of these types of pumps need to be plugged in to operate. Some of these are available with battery-power but those that are battery-operated usually have smaller motors and because of this, are not quite as effective as pumps that need to be plugged in. For those of you who may be away for long periods of time, it is recommended that you avoid the battery-operated pumps so that you can have a pump with a more effective motor. However, if you’re in a position where you truly cannot stop to pump, one of the wearable pumps would be a good option for you. If you’ve struggled with milk supply in the past or you’re working hard to maintain your milk supply, a hospital grade pump is likely to be best.

If you are in the USA, your health insurance should cover the cost of a breast pump. To start your search, first take a look at what pumps your insurance offer. From there, look at the cost of any needed upgrades and what it is you desire from a pump. Insurance usually fully covers baseline pumps. If there’s a need for upgrades or something like a wearable pump, you may need to pay extra for that or use your HSA funds to cover the full-cost. There is no one best pump. So, to further narrow down your pump choice, after determining what is offered through you insurance; look at what pumps come with options to change flange-size, cycle speed and suction variations, do you need something that’s battery-operated, or is your setup such that plugging something in isn’t an issue?

Choosing a breast pump can be very overwhelming. There are so many options and what is the best? The bottom line is that there is no BEST and no WORST, but...

We see so many parents trying to "bounce back" to the person they were before having a baby, but in reality you will never be the same!

You will grow, you will learn, you will love so much harder than you did as you watch your baby explore the world for the first time!

Learning to be yourself along with being a parent is life's greatest blessing and it truly is a privilege!

Each time you are removing milk by either latching baby or using a breast pump, you are helping your milk to transition from colostrum to more "mature milk" which looks more like what we're used to seeing!
