✨ Winning Wednesday ✨

Plot twist: we’ve got a second-generation Bloom grad in the building… and thriving. 😎🌸

There’s just something cool about seeing a family come back around. Same trust, same goals, new baby, same great results. We love a full-circle moment.

Okay, your turn! What’s your win this week? Drop it below 👇

It’s no secret that postpartum is hard, especially when your baby is up every hour around the clock those first few weeks. 💤

So to kick off the weekend with a laugh, we want to know:
What’s the funniest thing you did while sleep deprived in those early postpartum days?

We’ll go first…
Emily:
During a middle-of-the-night pump, I walked into the kitchen to put my milk in the fridge… and instead poured the entire bottle of freshly pumped milk straight down the drain. Sleep deprivation at its finest. 😭🥛

Miranda:
My husband had just gone back to night shift after three weeks home helping (especially overnight). I startled awake convinced I had somehow lost the baby in the bed… only to find him safely swaddled and fast asleep in his bassinet. I sat there for a solid five minutes trying to piece together the fact that I was the one who swaddled him and put him there. 🫠

☔️ Winning Wednesday ☔️

This rainy Wednesday is bringing us down! Our team has so many wins each week, it’s honestly hard to choose just one, but this week, we’re sharing one from Kisstin!

This is the smile of a mom who now knows that breastfeeding does not have to be painful and the look of a sweet baby who just got his belly full with a perfect pain free deep latch. Mom and baby have worked so hard and are doing AMAZING! We couldn’t be proud of this dyad! 💛🌸

Share with us how you’re winning this week! Let’s celebrate together! 🎉

If breastfed babies designed Valentine’s candy hearts… we have a feeling they’d look a little something like this. 💕🍼

Lucky for them, mama’s got the sweetest treat of all. Happy Valentine’s Day, Bloom families! 🌸💛

✨ Winning Wednesday ✨

The face of a 2-week-old baby who just transferred 2.5 ounces, is cozy in his happiest place on mama’s chest, and knows that life is very good. 🥹💛

This journey began with more worries than wins, but with just a few thoughtful tweaks, this dyad is absolutely soaring. Watching moments like this never gets old.

We need some extra positivity to get through this snow! Share with us how you're winning this week so we can celebrate with you!

This is how I imagine all you sweet mamas at home with your babies!

Bloom is closed for in person visits for today and tomorrow, both for road conditions and temperature. You all know my office has zero insulation and my little heater is working hard on 30 degree days…. On colder days we don’t stand a chance! 🥶

If you have an appointment scheduled, we will be reaching out about either switching to telehealth or rescheduling in person to later in the week!

Stay warm, stay safe, and snuggle up those babes!

Excellent reminder on what to do with stored milk in case of a power outage!

Here in KY, with temperatures as frigid as they are projected to be early next week- remember that outside may actually be colder than inside your house/fridge/freezer if the power goes out. Put milk in coolers and set outside but watch temps to make sure they stay well below freezing…. Which unfortunately looks to be the case for the next several days! Stay safe and warm, mamas…. And protect all of that liquid gold!

⚡️ POWER OUTAGE + BREASTMILK?
Here’s what to do to keep baby and breastmilk safe.

Power went out and you have breastmilk in the fridge/freezer...I know that panic feeling so well, especially when your milk represents HOURS of work and a food source for your baby.

✅ FIRST: Keep fridge/freezer doors CLOSED as much as possible.

MILK IN THE FRIDGE

🧊 If fridge is ≥ 40°F / 4°C for 4+ hours: save for a milk bath.
✅ If still cold (≤ 40°F / 4°C): use within typical timeframe.

MILK IN THE FREEZER

❄️ If milk has ice crystals: SAFE TO REFREEZE
❄️ If milk is fully thawed but still cold: use within 24 hours (do not refreeze- some parent will opt to refreeze based on their own comfort).
🚫 If milk is warm or you’re unsure: save it for a milk bath.

✨ Pro Tip: Move freezer milk to a cooler with ice packs if outage lasts longer than expected.
✨ Pro tip: keep a cheap fridge thermometer inside your fridge/freezer, it makes decisions SO much easier during outages.

✨ Winning Wednesday ✨

Four days. That’s all it took for this sweet girl to show us what she could do. 💪
Before her frenectomy, latching without a shield wasn’t possible. Now? She’s been exclusively feeding at the breast for the past 4 days and transferring milk like a pro. Looking how stinking adorable that little face is!

Fellow mamas, what’s a win you’re celebrating this week? Share it with us in the comments!

Your words mean more to us than you know. 💛

Leaving a review for Bloom is one of the most meaningful ways you can support our small business. Your experience helps other moms find us, feel less alone, and take that first brave step toward support.

If Bloom has been part of your journey, whether for one visit or many, we would be so grateful if you’d take a moment to leave a review. It truly helps more families find the care they deserve.
