Nourish and Nurture Lactation Consulting

Always helpful information since many medical providers do not know the updated guidelines. I’ve had patients advised to pump and dump after a dental appointment with local anesthesia which is unnecessary and adds stress to moms.
Most (95% or more) common medical procedures and medications do not require any pumping and dumping. It’s RARELY needed.

🌟 New Publication Alert! 🌟

We’re excited to share that our article, “Anesthesia Care of Lactating Patients,” by Sarah E. Dodd, MD and Kaytlin E. Krutsch, PhD, PharmD, MBA, BCPS, has been officially published in Advances in Anesthesia!

This publication provides evidence-based recommendations to help healthcare professionals safely manage anesthesia and surgical procedures in breastfeeding mothers—supporting both maternal recovery and infant well-being.

We’re proud to contribute to advancing safe, informed care for nursing families everywhere.

This is happening in every state. Insurance companies failing to cover basic and complex lactation consults. The laws put in place 10 yrs ago or so were not specific enough so the companies don’t have to comply and no one is enforcing it.
In the end they will pay for less healthy moms and babies. The families are hit hardest though.

This is a great read! I see so many feeding problems due to the wrong brand or flow of bottles. Certain named bottles are notoriously difficult for babies.

Mixing by hand may be safer.

CR made over 120 bottles of formula using Baby Brezza and Baby Exo baby formula makers and found that all failed to deliver the right amount of formula powder into bottles.

Any new or expecting parents need this service. I see dozens of babies each week and many are not restrained in their car seats safely . I’ve suggested how to position babies many times. New parenthood is a busy time. Reading a manual is not easy honestly . The car seat manufacturers could do better. This business is an amazing addition to our community and he’s a dad of young children who is certified to help you safely install car seats, baby proof and more! https://www.facebook.com/share/XnMUYxz9y45oJfyd/?mibextid=LQQJ4d

Many American women want to breast-feed — and try to. Only about half keep it up. It's like they've lost the instinct. One researcher thinks she's figured out why and how to get the instinct back.
