Super Bowl Sunday 🏈🍗❤️

🌶️ Spicy Food and Breastfeeding🌶️

One of the most common breastfeeding myths we hear is that eating spicy or flavorful foods will make your baby gassy or fussy. The good news? That’s simply not true for the vast majority of babies.

Breast milk is made from your blood—not the food sitting in your stomach. While tiny flavor compounds can pass into milk, they do not make breast milk “spicy” or irritating to your baby’s gut.

In fact, eating a wide variety of foods while breastfeeding can be a good thing!
✨ Babies are exposed to different flavors through breast milk
✨ This early flavor exposure may help support more adventurous eating later in childhood
✨ Many cultures around the world eat bold, seasoned foods while breastfeeding—with happy, thriving babies

🚫 There is no routine need to avoid foods like garlic, onions, spicy dishes, or seasoned meals while breastfeeding.

🔎 When might food matter?
Only in rare cases—such as a true food sensitivity or allergy—would dietary changes be recommended, and this should always be guided by a lactation consultant or healthcare provider.

💛 Bottom line:
If you enjoy your food and your baby is growing well, you can feel confident continuing to eat a balanced, flavorful diet while breastfeeding.

Eat well. Feed confidently. Trust your body. 💪🤱

Ohhh yes, It’s Sunday!!!!

I work with families that choose to pump instead of latching baby or those that need to do both. Your choice is supported.

Sometimes in life we need to pivot and change directions when things aren’t working out the way we imagined and I support you! ✊

Oh and yes, pumping is breastfeeding! ✊

How to Use a Haakaa/Silicone breast pump (The Easy Way!)

✨ The Haakaa is a silicone pump that gently collects milk while you breastfeed—no cords, no buttons.

How to use it:
1️⃣ Squeeze the base of the Haakaa
2️⃣ Place it on the opposite breast while baby nurses
3️⃣ Release to create gentle suction
4️⃣ Let it collect milk hands-free
5️⃣ Remove carefully and pour milk into a storage container

⚠️ Important Warnings / Use With Care:
• If the Haakaa hurts or causes pain, remove it and stop using it
• Use no more than 1–3 times per day — frequent use can contribute to oversupply
• Do not use the Haakaa on a breast before your baby has fed from it
• Gentle suction is enough—more suction is not better

💡 Best used during letdown on the opposite breast after baby has started nursing.

If breastfeeding feels hard right now, you’re not doing anything wrong.

Like climbing stairs, progress happens one step at a time.

With time and support, many families find it becomes easier and more efficient. You’re doing an amazing job 🌼

13 years ago, this was our reality 👇

My newborn being fed with a tiny tube at her dad’s finger. Breastfeeding was painful, her latch wasn’t working, and I wasn’t ready to introduce a bottle in those first days—but my baby still needed to be fed.

What many parents don’t know is that a bottle isn’t the only option early on.
There are gentle, temporary alternatives like finger feeding, syringe or cup feeding, and supplemental systems that can support your baby while you work through latch challenges.

This is why learning about feeding options before birth matters!!!

✨When feeding feels urgent, having knowledge gives you choices—and confidence✨

If feeding doesn’t go as planned, it’s not your fault. There’s almost always more than one path forward 🤍

✨ Two Breastfeeding Classes Coming Up! ✨

I’m excited to share that I have two upcoming breastfeeding classes on the calendar!

Learning about breastfeeding before your baby arrives can make a huge difference.

Breastfeeding is natural, but it’s also a learned skill—for both you and your baby. Taking a class during pregnancy helps you understand what’s normal, how to get a comfortable latch, what to expect in those early days, and when to ask for support.

Whether this is your first baby or your third, every feeding journey is different. A little preparation can help you feel more confident, supported, and ready to meet your baby’s needs when they arrive.

If you’re expecting and want to feel more prepared for feeding, I’d love to have you join us 🤍

❄️ Snowstorm Prep: What to Do With Breast Milk If the Power Goes Out 🍼🤱

With the possibility of a power outage during the upcoming snowstorm, I wanted to share some guidance to help protect your stored breast milk 💙

Here’s what to know:

🧊 Keep freezer & fridge doors closed as much as possible
• A full freezer can keep breast milk frozen for up to 48 hours
• A half-full freezer stays cold for about 24 hours
• A refrigerator will stay cold for about 4 hours if unopened

🔌 Once the power is back on, check your milk:
• If the milk has started to thaw but still has ice crystals → it’s safe to refreeze
• If the milk is fully thawed but still cold → place it in the refrigerator and use within 24 hours
• If the milk is warm or no longer cold → it should be discarded

Breast milk is precious, and power outages can be stressful—especially during winter storms. Planning ahead and knowing what’s safe can help take some of that stress off your plate 🤍

Feel free to save or share this post in case you or someone you know needs it!

Stay warm and safe ❄️

I have been told I look like a ghostbuster!!! But no I’m not catching ghosts with this pack, I’m weighing all the babies 👶 👩‍🍼🤰🤱👶

I’m heading out to see families today and support them in their own feeding journey. Everyone’s journey looks different and that’s what makes life special.

We all are unique in what our needs are and I’m here to support you!!

I always make it a point to ask what YOUR goals are, because at the end of the day that’s what is important. My only goal is to help you reach YOUR goal. Happy Friday!!!! Let’s do this 💙

Starting solids can feel exciting… and also really overwhelming.

Questions like:
• Is my baby ready?
• What foods do I start with?
• How much should they eat?
• Am I doing this right?

This is where I love supporting families 🤍

I help parents understand when it’s developmentally appropriate to introduce solids (not just based on age, but on readiness cues), how to safely and confidently get started, and how to make this transition feel calm instead of stressful.

This sweet little one in the video is 7 months old, and together we worked through:

✔️ signs of readiness
✔️ textures and progression
✔️ responsive feeding (following baby’s cues)
✔️ building confidence for both baby and parents

There is no one “perfect” way to start solids — and you don’t have to figure it out alone. Feeding should feel supportive, responsive, and enjoyable, not filled with pressure or anxiety!!

If starting solids feels confusing or stressful, I’m here to help guide you every step of the way!

If feeding your baby hasn’t gone the way you imagined, please hear this IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT

Infant feeding is incredibly complex. So much more goes into it than effort, love, or “doing everything right”

Sometimes there are physical and anatomical challenges—like tongue ties, lip ties, a high palate, muscle tension, or torticollis—that can make feeding harder for both baby and parent ❤️

On the parent side, things like clogged ducts, ni**le blebs, low milk supply, oversupply, or an overactive letdown can add pain and frustration to an already vulnerable time
❤️

When these challenges show up, it may mean adjusting or changing the original feeding plan you had hoped for. And that can be really hard
❤️

Grieving the feeding journey you envisioned while trying to meet your baby’s needs in real time is exhausting. You’re allowed to feel disappointed, sad, confused, or overwhelmed—sometimes all at once
❤️

What matters most is not how your baby is fed, but that you and your baby are supported throughout the process.
❤️

Having an IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant) assess feeding, identify what’s going on, and offer individualized strategies and hands-on techniques can make a huge difference. Sometimes small changes bring big relief. Sometimes support helps you find a new path that feels more sustainable and aligned with your family’s needs. Either way, you don’t have to navigate this alone
❤️

Feeding your baby is not a test you pass or fail. It’s a relationship—and relationships deserve compassion, flexibility, and support
