1. Ounce-counting culture
💦Pump output isn’t a measure of mothering, supply health, or breastfeeding success—yet it’s treated like one.

2. “Just pump more” as fix- all advice
🍼Pumping doesn’t correct latch issues, oral dysfunction, poor milk transfer, or feeding frequency—and often creates new problems.

3. Rigid Eat, Play, Sleep schedules for newborns
👶 Newborns need Eat, Eat, Eat. This framework masks feeding cues and undermines milk supply in the early weeks.

4. Overpathologizing normal newborn feeding behavior
😵‍💫Cluster feeding, frequent wakes, and comfort nursing are often labeled as “problems” instead of biology.

5. Medela Pump In Style
👎Medela used to be THE brand for effective pumps, but sadly, since they redesigned the P*S, it just isn’t good.

I LOVE watching a mom and baby hit their stride with breastfeeding……when things go from stressful to enjoyable and tears turn to smiles. It’s my passion ❤️ And, the best part is that it doesn’t cost a dime for the families I work with!

The Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine updated their recommendations for managing clogged ducts, engorgement, and mastitis in 2022.

This update was prompted by NEW EVIDENCE that clearly shows inflammation as the driver of clogged ducts, engorgement, and mastitis rather than a thickened plug of milk being the driving factor.

Sadly, there are so many who still advise using heat, massage, dangle feeding or pumping, and extra pumping. These things can make clogged ducts, engorgement, and mastitis WORSE!

Here’s what actually helps:
🧊cold packs
💦lymphatic drainage
🤱nursing/pumping based on baby’s cues (no extra pumping)
💊ibuprofen (talk with your doc)

Not all “experts” are equally trained. If you’re looking for expert support that is covered by insurance, I’m you’re gal!

With additional training in Infant Oral Motor Function, Pumping, Bottle Refusal, and More, I’d love to help YOU reach YOUR goals!

🤱When your milk supply regulates (around 6 weeks postpartum), you might notice that your breasts feel a bit softer and maybe your supply has even decreased just a bit. It should be responding to supply and demand, so if you are removing milk frequently either through pumping or effective nursing, your milk supply should match how much milk is being removed.

💦Don’t be fooled if your breasts feel softer. This doesn’t automatically mean that there’s a problem with your milk supply. If your baby is growing well, having plenty of dirty and wet diapers, and seems satisfied after feedings, then you’re just experiencing expected changes with supply regulation.
