‼️With so many ”viral” baby products out there, it is hard to know what you should actually spend your money on. Every family is a little bit different, everybody’s priorities are a little bit different, but I promise not everyone needs to spend $300+ on a MomCozy bottle washer 🙈

Whether you’re just trying to stay within a budget, trying to avoid over consumption, or trying to build a minimalist baby registry, these options might work well for you too.

STOP!
Just because your breast pump has 12 levels of suction doesn’t mean you should use them all.

To avoid ni**le damage and to maximize milk output, first make sure you have the right fl**ge size, but ALSO make sure you’re using the right suction setting.

For most moms, it works well to increase the suction to the point where is just starts to become uncomfortable, then turn it down one level.

Having trouble finding your fl**ge size or knowing which breast pump settings are best for you? I offer insurance-covered lactation support and specialize in pumping 💙

🙈 What mom confessions do you have?
sometimes social media feels super heavy when it comes to motherhood, and I just wanna lighten the mood.

We’re not going to get it perfect every time.……or really ever! All we can do is love our kids and keep showing up💕

If doom scrolling, has you feeling like a terrible mother, just take a minute and realize that all of those opinions and representations of motherhood on social media are very curated, and not necessarily real.

I once used a Dust Buster on my 8 month old lol. He LOVED it😂

Hi friends, I’m Jacque! As a mom of four and an RN, IBCLC, I’ve been through the "pregnancy fog" more than a few times. If there’s one thing I’ve learned from both my personal journey (hello, four C-sections!) and my years in clinical practice, it’s that preparation is the secret to peace of mind.

I want you to feel empowered, not overwhelmed. Here is how I recommend mapping out your milestones so you can reach your goals with confidence!

✨ The Second Trimester: Building Your Foundation

20 Weeks: The Anatomy Scan. This is such a special milestone—enjoy that peek at your little one!

24–28 Weeks: Glucose Screening. Grab a snack for afterward and use the waiting room time to start your pediatrician search. Not interested in the sugary drink....just know there are alternatives!

The Research Phase: Now is the time to start looking at daycare waitlists and building your "village."

🎓 The Third Trimester: The Prep Work

28–34 Weeks: Take your Birth Prep Class. > Why now? You want the information fresh in your mind, but you also might want to be done before the "third trimester tired" really kicks in. Whether you’re planning a vaginal birth or a gentle C-section, knowledge is power!

35–37 Weeks: Meet with a Lactation Consultant. > Jacque’s Pro-Tip: Don’t wait until the baby is here to talk about feeding! A prenatal lactation consult is a game-changer. We can talk about your health history, colostrum harvesting, and—my personal favorite—getting your pump and fl**ge fit sorted before you need them.

36 Weeks: Pack that hospital bag! (Add an extra-long charging cable and your favorite nursing bra to the top of the list).

💡 A Note from My Heart to Yours:

Parenthood is a wild ride, and things don't always go exactly as planned (trust me, I’ve been there!). The goal isn't perfection; it's about having the right tools and support in place so you can pivot with grace.

What’s one thing you’re checking off your list this week? Let’s chat in the comments! 👇
