I am a better guide at every consult because of moms like you, sending updates on our care plans!
I have recently been making updates to fl**ge fittings based on moms adventures through weeks of body changes that affected physical response to the fl**ges we start with. Don't be shy to speak up! I will help you find a way to get ongoing help, no matter your resources! I'm seeing that moms are sizing down for comfort and output after 2-3 weeks and beyond.

I had such a lucky weekend in LA learning from some masters in the lactation field. Lisa Lahey, Maya Bolman, pioneer suck training / hand expression expert Chele Marmet, and the women who attended and each offered little treasures of information.
On my lunch break at the conference I poked in and out of the shops that lined the surrounding streets. I went into a mystical garden shop and saw some sculptures that were cast after antique garden goddesses. A century and a half ago one sat on each corner of someone's property offering symbolic protection. I think it was a metaphor for the women passing on their science and wisdom! After a day of jet lag rest, I am more than excited to start a day of 3 home visits and start using my growing toolbox!

The weather is beautiful, and I couldn't be more excited to fly to California tomorrow for some work skills training. It's a two day intensive workshop on therapeutic techniques for areas like engorgement management and optimizing baby's oral function. Excited to return and incorporate these tools into my practice!

One of my favorite aspects of breastfeeding are the beautiful connections. A latch, a fl**ge fit, a little hand wrapped around mom's finger, Dads doing skin to skin. I love the physical and emotional connections.

A lot of clients are often surprised when we chat and they find that my college degree wasn't in a health field. It was actually a BFA in blacksmithing. I was particularly enamored with with the simple connections of hand tools, like a hammer. And that theme was a common thread in a lot of the works I made.

So it was very serendipitous, when perinatal mental health therapist, Betty Barratta, messaged me and asked if I wanted to meet up at a coffee house called "The Forge". The interior decor was inspired by blacksmithing tools. We knew of each other through mutual clients, but had never met.

It was really fortuitous. I was having several consults where I needed help troubleshooting psycho somatic connections to breastfeeding outcomes. I was hearing from my clients that Betty was a knowledgeable and empathetic clinician that helped them with those connections.

I was curious this morning, when I started this post, if The Forge bakery where we met, was the site of an old blacksmith shop. I found that the owners actually liked the theme of forging connections and friendships with people. And I love that too!

I will put Betty's business website in the first comment, if anyone needs a great perinatal mental health therapist!

I have a confession. Breastfeeding was easy for me. I didn't have to think twice about it. When to start or wean. I just followed what felt right- day to day. But I know that looks different for every family out there. Sometimes women call me and ask for help weaning at one week. And you know, weaning consults are some of my favorites. Because I truly believe in my clients when they ask me to help guide them in the way that is right for them. I believe in parental love and instincts. 💛

I love putting the in my manis! 🤗

I want you to know, you are going on an adventure. By definition, an adventure is something outside of your comfort zone, a little risky, a lot of humility, and leads to intense personal growth and resiliency. It is normal for anyone to be scared- but when you feel scared, acknowledge it and be proud. Proud to grow into the adult that watches over and looks out for the next generation. Let go of perfection and embrace mistakes. Enjoy learning, and self love. When your baby sees that you do this, it will be so much easier for them to do!

When you schedule a lactation consult with me, this is what you can expect.
I will ask you what your goals are. I will work with you within those parameters. If you want a textbook style meet up where we focus only on tried and true pathways, I'm your girl. If you want to play and find out if one breast only responds to a hand pump and one responds to an electric- I'm your girl. If you tell me your baby's needs fall under "outlier"- I will definitely weigh in and write a care plan based on safety and your family's individual situation.
I LOVE and MARVEL at the different ways parents follow their divine intuition and then ask for a framework to ensure that the health of the family unit is protected.
What are my small rewards for being part of family's care team? Oh my. Well- these kinds of texts. When parents let you know they feel happy. Wether they are sending me pics of poopie diapers or a very proud pumped volume- I am so happy to be part of their wild and loving adventure! 😆💛♥️

The other day I was doing a fl**ge fitting on a client's coffee table and noticed some beautiful bowls of nuts and seeds decoratively arranged. I had no idea that it was a holiday display.

This morning I was scrolling through my online news and saw a photo where a table was set with similar decorations and the headline was that it is called Haft-Sin, an arrangement in homes to celebrate Nowruz, the Iranian New Year marked by the first day of spring.

Wow! I texted my clients and asked if they wouldn't mind sharing their spring equinox Haft-sin on my social media and they were more than happy to. I also asked if they would put the pump back in the pic!🤗😉

A brief list of things you might see (modified from google)
Sabzeh (Wheat/lentil sprouts): Rebirth and growth.
Samanu (Sweet wheat pudding): Strength and fertility.
Senjed (Dried oleaster fruit): Love and wisdom.
Seer (Garlic): Medicine, health, and protection.
Seeb (Apple): Beauty and vitality.
Serkeh (Vinegar): Patience, wisdom, and aging.
Somāq (Sumac): The color of sunrise and new beginnings.
Symbolic Additions to the Table:
Mirror: Reflects light, honesty, and self-reflection.
Candles: Enlightenment and happiness.
Goldfish: Life and progress.
Painted Eggs: Fertility and humanity.
Holy Book or Poetry Book: Wisdom

And what better symbol to add to the table than a pump- when you are celebrating new life!

Thanks to my clients for sharing this! 💛
