Throwback to 11 years ago—swaying a cranky baby next to the Christmas tree…

🎄Gentle rhythmic movement helps regulate a baby’s nervous system, and low, warm lights can be calming. Sometimes it’s not about doing more, sometimes it’s about slowing down and doing less!

🎄 Rhythmic movement mimics the womb, and soft lighting can reduce stimulation—two powerful tools for calming an overtired baby

Spectra moms… this one’s for you 😅

Ever get all hooked up, comfy, hit the power button and think:

“WHY does this feel so aggressive already?!”

PSA: It’s not you. It’s the pump.

👉 The Spectra automatically turns on in expression mode when you first power it up.
👉 Which means you have to hit the massage button first (yes, every time).

✨ Why this matters:
• Massage mode = stimulation → helps trigger letdown
• Expression mode = milk removal → once milk is flowing

Skipping massage mode is like trying to sprint before warming up 🏃‍♀️

Is it a quirky design choice? Absolutely.
Is it annoying once you’re already all set up? Also yes.
Is it still a great, reliable pump for many moms? 100%.

So if your pump ever feels “too much” right out of the gate…
Just remember: power on → massage button → THEN expression 💡

Your ni***es will thank you 😉🍼

Hey breastfeeding moms! Have you ever noticed that one breast seems to be producing more milk than the other? You're not alone!

This is a common phenomenon, and there are a few reasons why it might be happening:

⭐️ *Hormonal differences*: Each breast has its own hormonal balance, which can affect milk production.

⭐️ *Frequent feeding*: If your baby tends to feed more frequently from one side, that breast will respond by producing more milk.

⭐️*Proper latching*: If your baby has a better latch on one side, it can stimulate more milk production.

⭐️ *Anatomical differences*: Sometimes, one breast might have more milk-producing tissue.

Don't worry, it's totally normal! Just make sure to:

- Alternate breasts during feeding
- Monitor your baby's output to ensure they're getting enough milk overall
- Consider consulting a lactation consultant if you have concerns

Remember, every breastfeeding journey is unique, and what works for one mom might not work for another.

“I’m putting all of my energy towards making this relationship work. It’s not something that comes very easy.”

-from a 1st time breastfeeding mom (me back in 2014 prior to becoming a lactation consutant!!)

✨ Breastfeeding is beautiful, but it’s also a learned skill—for both mom and baby!

✨ Determination, support, and preparation make a world of difference.

✨ Learning about feeding before your baby arrives can help you feel confident, empowered, and ready for the early days. And working with a Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) ensures you’re getting evidence-based, individualized guidance every step of the way.

✨ Whether you’re preparing during pregnancy or navigating challenges after birth, your breastfeeding journey deserves support, patience, and compassion. You don’t have to figure it out alone!!

Holiday-mastitis!

Yup. I said it, holiday induced mastitis. The holiday season increases the rates of clogged ducts and breast infections. The stress of meeting deadlines, wrapping presents, traveling, visiting families, rushing, shopping and cooking etc etc etc the list goes on!! All on top of continuing to meet the demand of feeding your baby and meeting all of his or her needs. Here are some tips to help prevent clogged ducts and mastitis ⬇️

🎄Don’t skip feedings and don’t go longer than normal between feedings! Often while traveling, babies may nap for longer periods of time. Very excited family members might want to hold and spend time with baby and this could cause a longer time between feeds or shorter feedings. Make sure to set a timer for feedings if needed!

🌟While visiting family don’t be afraid to set limits. Time limits for how long you will be visiting for. Limits on who or how many people will hold your baby. Figure out when and where you need to feed or pump. Think ahead and come up with a “game plan”.

🎄Holidays are great but for a lot of people it can be very stressful. Stress can prevent the milk ejection reflex from fully “emptying” the breasts. This can lead to breast fullness and eventually clogged ducts. Try to use techniques to help you relax while feeding or pumping. Listening to relaxing music or a guided meditation might help.

🌟Stay hydrated. Try to rest as much as possible between parties and holiday festivities.

🎄Most importantly love on your little one! If you need to say no to “one more thing” for your sanity, it’s okay! Do what feels right ❤️

If you need help during your breastfeeding or pumping journey, don’t be afraid to reach out to a Board Certified Lactation Consultant! They are the experts in lactation and will be able to provide the support you need!

👶 Did you know? 👇

✨ Once your baby reaches about one month old, the amount of milk they take in a 24 period stays about the same all the way until 6 months?!

Unlike older kids who eat bigger and bigger meals as they grow, babies mostly increase how efficiently they feed — not how much volume they need. Their stomach size stabilizes, and breastmilk continues to meet their nutritional needs perfectly without needing larger and larger bottles or longer and longer feedings.

✅ Most babies take 3–5 ounces per feeding from 1 month through 6 months.

✅ Growth happens because they feed more effectively, not because they need “more”.

✅ If you’re pumping or bottle-feeding breastmilk, this can take the pressure off — you don’t have to keep “upping the ounces.”

Breastmilk changes composition as your baby grows, so the milk adapts for them — no major volume changes needed. 💛

This is good reassurance for both breastfeeding and pumping parents: your baby doesn’t need more ounces to grow beautifully — just consistent feeding!

I find it absolutely fascinating that breastmilk changes to meet our baby’s needs!

Yes!!!! Take the time to watch 👇

This right here! I always am so very thorough with my assessment and approach. I always recommend the least invasive options starting with oral motor exercises, stretches, body work (chiropractic/pediatric PT/OT) and then a release if needed! It’s certainly a process and can take time to determine things ❤️

I do so much more than “check a latch”! If you are concerned your baby might have a tongue and/or lip tie I would be happy to help support you on your journey. I have been doing this for 6 years and absolutely love my job!

Going back to work?!

Make sure to schedule a consult with an IBCLC before heading back to work after maternity leave.

Why?

Going back to work either part time or full time is a huge adjustment in your routine for both you and your baby. Coming up with a “game plan” will be extremely helpful to maintain your milk supply and keeping baby happy with the new routine!

Here are some things that would be covered in this consultation 👇

✴️ Pumping schedule/routine while you are away from your baby

✴️ Paced bottle feeding to prevent overfeeding, overfeeding can lead to “perceived low milk supply” which is not actual low milk supply! It can also cause more spit up and stomach upset for your baby

✴️ How to identify and treat clogged milk ducts/mastitis if they do occur

✴️ Your legal right to pump milk for your baby in a clean and private place that is NOT a bathroom

✴️ Milk storage guidelines and recommendations based on your options at work and when traveling back and forth

✴️ Reverse cycling advice! Aka baby starts feeding a lot more at night to make up from being away from you!

✴️ Bottle refusal? This can be a consult all by itself but lots of babies who are mostly breastfed might not like the idea of bottle feeding and an IBCLC like myself 🙋‍♀️ could help!

Your insurance might cover this visit completely at no cost for you! Check out my website for more information if interested!

THE LATCH

What’s the deal with a good latch? Why does it matter so much? Quick break down ⬇️

1) NO pain! This is a pretty good reason. You will feel a pulling or tugging but not a pinch or a pain with a nice deep latch. It should NOT feel like you are nursing a little baby shark 🦈

2) Sends the right amount of signals to the moms brain to release lots of hormones to produce enough milk. A deep latch can REALLY impact milk supply 🧠🥛

3) Drains the breast easier, baby gets a full belly

Deep latch ➡️
more milk➡️
fuller belly➡️
happy baby➡️
no pain➡️ happy mom🤱

If the latch isn’t right, don’t suffer. Work with an IBCLC to help you get that deep latch you and your baby deserve 💙💗
