Proper Fl**ge FITS and a new blog -

My newest training has taught me a different approach to fitting fl**ges for pumping families. What does this new approach look like? Smaller fl**ges, more studies, more science, and more MILK! Have you been struggling to get enough milk while pumping? Maybe you need a proper fl**ge fitting using th...

Let’s get one thing straight — I love breastfeeding. The bonding, the health benefits, the full-puppy-syndrome snuggles? All of it.
But whipping out a b**b in public? Cue the internal screaming.

NOT A GAS TANK
Your baby is not a car. The goal is not to put gas in the tank to see how far it can go between top ups. It’s to teach a tiny human to listen to their body and it’s caloric and hydration needs from an early age to help them grow and develop. This is FEEDING. How you feed is different than how I feed. How your family feeds is unique and not how my family feeds. From what we eat, to how often we eat, to when we eat it’s such an individual process!! Some adults are grazers. They like to snack on small meals all day. They sip water throughout the day and always have a water bottle handy. Some babies are like this, too. Some adults are bingers. They eat really big meals less often. They only drink water in big glasses around meal times. Some babies are like this, too. And there’s everything in between. The goal is not to reach some magic number of ounces in a limited number of feedings because an internet blog said baby needed x number or ounces in 4 feedings a day. That can cause undo stress for both parents and child. The goal is to learn your unique baby’s feeding habits and help them foster those habits within your family context as they grow and develop into a bigger and bigger human.

Breastfeeding: magical, messy, and sometimes totally leaves you thinking "WTF?". Got a story? We wanna hear it all- the good, the bad, the weird, and the leaky.

I have been asked this many times since becoming a breastfeeding parent, and many more times since starting my lactation career.

I can't answer it any better than Breastfeeding Mama Talk does💖💖💖.

Why isn’t there a formula feeding week?

Oh, sweetheart… there already is. It’s called every single week of the year.

Formula companies spend billions of dollars on advertising to make sure their product is everywhere you look — on billboards, TV, social media, and even in the mail before your baby is born. They send free samples to hospitals so it’s sitting in your postpartum room waiting for you. They mail you coupons, discounts, and “welcome packs” while you’re still pregnant. They hire influencers, run nationwide ad campaigns, and have entire teams dedicated to making sure their product stays front and center.

World Breastfeeding Week is literally one week out of 52 — one week where breastfeeding gets a tiny fraction of that spotlight. It’s not about shaming anyone for how they feed their baby. It’s about giving space to a natural, beautiful, and often under-supported journey in a world that constantly tells moms to do anything but breastfeed.

So no, we don’t need a “formula feeding week.” You’ve had one. Since… forever.

This is our week. 🤱✨
