Experienced in-home, office or virtual lactation consulting. Serving all of northern Arizona. My role is to help families meet their breastfeeding goals.

Normalize normal milk supply.
Not every pump session will be full.
Not every breast will make the same amount.
And that does not mean something is wrong.
Milk output changes throughout the day, between breasts, and from one session to the next — and all of it can still be exactly what your baby needs. Social media has made it easy to believe that overflowing bottles are the standard, but for most breastfeeding parents, they’re not.
You are not under-producing.
You are producing normally 🤍

Breastfeeding does not guarantee your period will stay away.
Some parents get it back at 6 weeks.
Some at 6 months.
Some not until they fully wean.
There is no timeline your body has to follow — it’s all normal. Watch the video for what this means for your cycle, fertility, and milk supply ✨

Breastfeeding doesn’t come with an instruction manual — but a few little tips can make a big difference.
From catching let-down with a Haakaa, to pumping smarter, to warming milk on the go (and yes… always having snacks), these small habits can help make your nursing journey feel a little more supported and a lot more manageable.

Ever feel overwhelmed when you look at your pump? You’re not alone.
In this video, Maya walks you through how to use a Spectra pump so you can feel confident, comfortable, and supported every time you pump. From settings to suction to getting the best milk flow possible, she breaks it down in a way that actually makes sense.

Because pumping shouldn’t feel intimidating — it should feel empowering.

Every body is different — some continue nursing through pregnancy, some notice supply changes, and some naturally wean. There’s no right or wrong path, only what feels best for you and your baby.
Watch the video for the full breakdown and know you’re not alone in this season ✨

Breasts are sisters, not twins.

It’s completely normal (and incredibly common) for one breast to make more milk than the other. One might have a stronger let-down, more milk-making tissue, or respond better to your baby or pump — and that’s okay.

This doesn’t mean anything is wrong with your body.
It doesn’t mean your supply is low.
It just means your body is doing what bodies do: being beautifully unique.

As long as your baby is growing, satisfied, and producing wet diapers, your milk is doing exactly what it needs to do — even if one side is carrying a little more of the workload 🤍
Your body knows how to feed your baby.

If your hands-free pump isn’t giving you the output you expected, it doesn’t mean your body is failing — it usually means something small just needs adjusting.
From fl**ge size to ni**le alignment to how relaxed you are while pumping, there are so many little factors that can affect how much milk flows. The good news? Most of them are easy fixes once you know what to look for.

Swipe through to check the most common reasons a hands-free pump might not be working as well as it should — and remember, pumping is a learned skill, not something you’re supposed to just magically know.
You deserve support, answers, and a pumping setup that actually works for you 🤍

If your milk supply dips right before or during your period — you’re not imagining it.
Hormonal shifts (especially drops in estrogen and progesterone) can temporarily affect milk production and let-down, making it feel like your supply is suddenly lower. For some babies, this can mean more frequent nursing. For some parents, it means less milk when pumping.
The good news?
This dip is temporary — your supply will rebound once your hormones stabilize again.
Keep nursing, keep pumping, drink plenty of fluids, and give yourself grace. Your body is balancing feeding a baby and a cycle — that’s powerful. 🤍
You’re still making exactly what your baby needs.

Breastfeeding in the side-lying position can be a total game changer — especially for tired parents and sleepy babies.
This position allows you to lie on your side while your baby nurses facing you, which can help reduce strain on your back, arms, and shoulders. It’s also a beautiful way to slow things down, relax, and let your body do what it’s designed to do.
Side-lying is especially helpful for:
• Middle-of-the-night feeds
• Recovery after birth
• Parents with sore ni**les or a tender body
• Babies who nurse better when things are calm and quiet
Just remember to keep baby’s nose aligned with the ni**le, their body facing yours, and their airway clear.
There is no “one right way” to feed your baby — only the way that feels safe, supported, and comfortable for both of you 🤍

Your body is doing something incredible — even when you can’t feel it.
A let-down is your body’s natural way of moving milk to your baby. Some people feel tingling, some feel pressure, some leak… and some don’t feel a thing at all. All of it is completely normal.
If you’ve ever worried that your milk “isn’t coming out” or that something is wrong because you don’t feel a let-down, this is your gentle reminder: your body knows what to do.
You don’t have to force it.
You don’t have to make it happen.
You are already nourishing your baby in the most beautiful way. 🤍
If you ever need support, reassurance, or a second set of eyes — Happy Baby is here for you.
