✨ Let’s talk about fl**ge sizing. ✨

If pumping feels uncomfortable, slow, or frustrating — there’s a good chance the fl**ge size is the problem… not you and not your pump.

A poorly sized fl**ge can lead to:

🚫 Ni**le pain or rubbing
🚫 Cracked or damaged ni***es
🚫 Low output or slow flow
🚫 Clogged ducts or mastitis
🚫 Frustration, dread, or wanting to quit

The truth?
Most parents are given the wrong size right from the start.
And your fl**ge size can change as your baby grows, hormones shift, or pumping habits evolve.

A proper fl**ge fitting can:

✨ Increase milk output
✨ Protect your ni***es
✨ Make pumping more comfortable
✨ Help maintain supply
✨ Make pumping feel sustainable — not stressful

You deserve pumping sessions that feel productive and not painful.

If you're guessing your size, switching randomly, or thinking “this shouldn’t hurt this much”… it’s time to get support.

You don’t have to figure it out alone.

Your comfort matters. Your milk matters. And we’re here to help. 💛

The title "Lactation Consultant" is not a one-size-fits-all term, though it can be used that way because it is the most commonly used term for professionals that assist with lactation and breastfeeding.

However, there are big differences in the requirements and expertise that each level of our profession offers, which many people may not be aware of.

Indy Lactation Care is proud to offer all IBCLC professionals to serve our clients. You can be confident that you will be in expert hands.

We make every effort to get our clients on our schedule as soon as possible. It's as easy as texting 317-495-8967 or visiting indylactationcare.com to get started!

✨ Friendly reminder for our established mamas ✨

If you’ve already had your first visit with us — don’t forget to schedule your follow-up care.

Feeding isn’t “one and done.”
Babies grow. Needs shift. Milk supply changes. Routines get disrupted. And with the holidays coming — travel plans, visitors, skipped naps, new environments, pumping in the car, bottles at family gatherings… things can feel a little chaotic.

Follow-ups are here to support you through:

✔️ Pumping + travel
✔️ Bottles with family
✔️ Holiday schedule changes
✔️ Returning to work after the new year
✔️ Growth spurts
✔️ Feeding regressions
✔️ Anything that feels different, confusing, or uncertain

If you ever find yourself thinking:

“Is this normal?”
“Should this feel this way?”
“Why is this suddenly harder?”
“Do I need to adjust something?”

—that’s your sign to check in.

You don’t need to wait until things feel overwhelming.

Follow-up care is meant to protect your progress, not fix a crisis.

✨ You deserve support every step of the way — not just at the beginning.

📲 Book your follow-up at milkandhoneylactation.com

We can’t wait to see you again. 💛

Hi friends 💕🫶🏼I wanted to share something new and a little special — we’ve started a blog at Milk + Honey. It’s a space for real stories, gentle support, and the heart behind this work.

Our first post is a personal one about my own breastfeeding journey and how it shaped everything I do today. If it resonates with you, or someone you know, I’d love for you to read and share. Thank you for always being here. 🤍

Read the first post:

Let’s Talk About P**p: Why Is Baby’s P**p Mustard Yellow?

Okay, so you just changed a diaper, it looked like someone squeezed a packet of yellow mustard in there—maybe with some cottage cheese or tiny seeds mixed in. First thought? “Is this normal?!”

👶 Good news: It is!
Mustard-yellow, seedy, or runny p**p is exactly what we expect from a breastfed baby—especially in the first few months. It means milk is being digested well, and their little system is doing its job.

🟡 Why is it yellow?
Breastmilk is digested quickly and efficiently. The yellow color comes from bile and how your baby’s body processes it. Formula-fed babies often have tan or brown p**p, but breastfed babies usually land in the yellow zone.

🌾 What are those little seeds?
Those “seeds” are tiny curds of digested milk fat—another sign that your baby is getting plenty of that good, fatty milk and breaking it down like a champ.

💨 It’s runny—is that okay?
Yes! Breastfed baby p**p can be very loose or even watery at times. That’s normal, and different from diarrhea, which usually comes with a sudden change in frequency, smell, or discomfort.

🧷 So, what’s not normal?
🚩 Mucus, blood, green frothy stools, or p**p that smells unusually foul could be a red flag.
🚩 P**p that’s consistently hard, dry, or pellet-like might mean constipation (more common in formula-fed babies or after solids are introduced).
🚩 And no p**p at all? If your baby hasn’t p**ped in days and they’re under 6 weeks, it's time to check in.

💡 P**p is a window into baby’s gut health and milk intake. It may not be glamorous, but we love a good diaper check when figuring out feeding!

If you’re unsure about what’s normal or something just feels off—trust your gut and reach out. You don’t have to figure it out alone.

Let me say this louder for the moms in the back who are being sold teas, pills, cookies, powders, and every magical unicorn potion on the internet:

Milk supply is built by milk removal.

Not by a smoothie.
Not by a supplement.
Not by a drink someone swears “boosted them overnight.”

Your breasts respond to one thing above everything else: how often and how effectively milk is being removed. That’s it. That’s the physiology. When milk sits in the breast, production slows. When milk is removed frequently and consistently, production increases.

Yes, some things can support you. Hydration. Nutrition. Rest. Good fl**ge fit. Stress management. But nothing replaces the actual signal that tells your body “hey, we need more milk.”

If you’re struggling, it’s not your fault. You’re not doing anything wrong. You just need the right information, not false promises.

Remove milk often.
Protect your supply.
Trust your body.
