Jacque Ordner - Milk Guide Lactation

04/06/2026

Most people know that lactation consultants help with positioning and latch, but they may not know that we help with so much more than that. IBCLCs are infant feed feeding specialists.

If it has to do with babies and feeding, that’s my specialty! Honestly, I love helping with anything babycare related, even if it’s not feeding.

Having support in your corner can make all the difference in how your journey plays out💕

‼️Do any of these takes surprise you?

👀Just remember that infant feeding products often rely on extremely misleading and even predatory marketing.

🤱Don’t trust your breastfeeding journey to influencers….rely on the expertise of IBCLCs who work with real moms and babies day in and day out. And even then, make sure you vet them because not all IBCLCs have the same level of expertise.

🚩Sometimes you’re told something is normal because the person you’re talking with doesn’t know any better.

I’ve been there! Early on in my practice, I didn’t know what I did didn’t know. That’s why continuing education and a desire to constantly be learning is necessary in the medical field.

📣Moms, you know when something isn’t quite right for you and your baby. Trust your instincts and and don’t settle for being told it’s normal or your baby will “grow out out of it.”

👋 Hi! I’m Jacque! I’m an RN, IBCLC, and mom of four. I offer insurance covered lactation support and free education via TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook. I’d love to connect with you!

Full throttle rocking is an example of proprioceptive input for your baby, and it’s amazing for helping to calm an excited nervous system.

The key is big movements while keeping baby secure!

Biting and breastfeeding🦈

Three tips to help prevent or stop biting:

🦈Stay engaged with your baby during feedings. Make eye contact, hold their hand, and give them your full attention during the feeding.

🦈Biting typically happens toward the end of a feeding, so be extra vigilant at that time. Watch for a narrowing of the latch befor biting occurs. Pull baby in closer or break the latch to prevent biting.

🦈 If your baby does bite, break the latch and turn them away from the breast to make the association that biting = no milk 🚫

😖Even though biting hurts, try not to yell or react harshly because this can cause a nursing aversion / nursing strike.

🍼Now….bottle refusal isn’t always just a timing thing. Sometimes it’s a sign of oral dysfunction (think tension,tongue tie, low tone, suck issues) and that warrants an evaluation with a Lactation Consultant who has advanced training in oral dysfunction (like me).🤱🙋‍♀️

But often, It’s timing. And once that window closes, it can be steep uphill battle.

You don’t have to use bottles often. Even a few times a week starting at 4–6 weeks can keep the option open. 💛

Save this. Send it to your pregnant bestie.

The world told me motherhood would break me.
That I’d lose myself. That I’d be depleted, lonely, invisible.
And honestly? Some days, they weren’t lying.
But here’s what they forgot to mention —
When you shift your eyes from what you’re losing
to who you’re pouring into...
everything changes.
I’m not just wiping tears and cutting crusts off sandwiches.
I am building a human being.
I am planting something in this generation
that I will never fully see bloom —
and that is the most powerful thing a woman can do.
Yes, motherhood stretches you.
It pulls you apart at the seams.
But stretching isn’t destroying.
Stretching is growing.
So no — I’m not losing myself in motherhood.
I’m finding out exactly who I was always meant to be.
To every mama in the thick of it:
You are not pouring into a void.
You are pouring into a legacy. 🌿

So many moms get so discouraged when breastfeeding doesn’t go as planned in the first few weeks.

I either see them get defeated and quit without seeking help OR they try to do too many things at once and get overwhelmed (triple feeding, for example)

Most of the time, we just need to work on one thing at a time. Maybe it’s milk supply first, then latching. Or, perhaps it’s body tension, then stamina at the breast.

Whatever you’re struggling with, just know you don’t have to fix it all at once! We can work on feeding in bite sized chunks (see what I did there 😉) until we can fit the pieces of the puzzle together!

If your desire is to breastfeed, don’t quit until you’ve had real support in your corner! Support really is a game changer 💕
