One of the most helpful things to remember in the early days of breastfeeding is just how tiny your newborn’s stomach really is. 🤍

On day one, it’s about the size of a cherry — holding only about 5–7 ml at a time.

Because of this, newborns are designed to feed often, not take large volumes. Frequent feeding is how your baby stays satisfied and how your body receives the signal to bring in a strong milk supply.

Sometimes when babies want to nurse frequently, it can feel like something must be wrong — like they aren’t getting enough. But in most cases, this pattern is simply normal newborn biology.

Routine supplementation isn’t necessary for many families and, when not medically indicated, can sometimes interfere with the natural supply-and-demand process of breastfeeding.

What helps most in the early days:
• lots of skin-to-skin
• feeding on cue
• trusting those small but powerful feeds

Your baby’s stomach is small on purpose — and your body is beautifully designed to meet that need. ✨

You’re not doing it wrong, mama. You’re learning together.

It is SO much more than just getting the tie released! If you’re being urged to release without any sort of eval from a Myofunctional Therapist - PLEASE seek another opinion!

This is why we paired with My Myo Works LLC at Hello Baby Co.! They are one of the BEST! 🩷

Hello all! 👋🏼 So happy to see you here! I wanted to take a second to introduce myself 🥰

My name is Trinity Barton and I’m a Registered Nurse and Certified Lactation Counselor with a nursing background in Obstetrics/Post Partum. Mommas and Babies hold a special place in my heart, as I’ve always aspired to become an OB Nurse following the footsteps of my late Aunt, Tracey Howe. There’s nothing more pure than the captivity conveyed by parents when they lay either eyes on their newborn - not only watching the babe be born, but a Mother & Father be born alongside their newborn is such a treasure. We live in small town Iowa where the teachers that taught our parents taught us and are now teaching our babies too 🥹.

As I’m currently in the thick of motherhood to four young children, I’ve been through so many trials myself during my personal breastfeeding journeys that it drove my desire to help mothers establish a joyful experience of their own.
Between tongue ties, slow weight gain, ni**le pain, vasospasms, low milk supply, tongue and lip tie releases, SNS systems, ni**le shields, Speech therapy/Myofunctional therapy, CFT, Chiropractic care with tension release focus, exclusive pumping for 13 months- I’ve pretty much experienced more than a plethora of hurdles in all 4 of my journeys.

I truly believe God laid so much in my path for me to help assist other moms just like me, with firsthand experience and the compassion and knowledge I’ve gained along the way to help point you in the right direction to other stellar providers because unfortunately, it takes a village sometimes.

I believe that our community could thrive with additional Lactation Support, and we’re here to service, support and encourage you in every step of your feeding journey, from start to finish here at Nourish with Trin!
