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
💛

Breastfeeding is so much more than a way to feed a baby 🤍

Yes, it provides nutrition but it’s also a powerful regulatory tool for babies.

When a baby breastfeeds, several things happen at once 👇

• Skin-to-skin contact
• Rhythmic sucking and swallowing
• Warmth, smell, and sound of their parent
• Release of calming hormones like oxytocin

All of these work together to help calm the baby’s central nervous system.

Breastfeeding can help 👇

• Settle an overstimulated or fussy baby
• Support regulation after stress or discomfort
• Ease transitions (new environments, tiredness)
• Help babies feel safe, connected, and grounded

This is why babies often want to nurse not only when they’re hungry, but also when they’re tired, overwhelmed, or needing comfort. It’s not “using the breast as a pacifier” it’s babies doing exactly what their nervous systems are designed to do.

Feeding, soothing, regulating, connecting—breastfeeding can support all of it 💫

(And for families feeding in other ways 👉close contact, responsiveness, and comfort still matter just as much!)

So grateful to work alongside Brittany Kimble of Kimble Lactation Support 🤍

I’ve witnessed her work firsthand with our mutual clients, and she truly knows her stuff. Calm, knowledgeable, and so supportive in those vulnerable feeding moments.

If you’re planning to breastfeed, I highly recommend setting up a prenatal breastfeeding visit with her, as well as continuing support after baby arrives. Having that relationship established ahead of time can make such a difference. Kimble Lactation Support accepts most major health insurances!

Brittany will be offering a FREE breastfeeding class at the Abington Community Library on Feb 17 at 6pm and you may register via this link ⬇️⬇️ https://lclshome.org/event/breast-feeding-basics/

This is what a great postpartum village looks like, and I’m so thankful to be part of it!

I want to share an exciting update 🤍

Over the past year, I’ve been working behind the scenes to become in-network with several major insurance plans, and I’m happy to say I can now accept many private insurances, including:

• Aetna
• Blue Cross Blue Shield (unfortunately, Highmark is not included)
• Cigna
• Geisinger
• United Healthcare

My hope is that this makes lactation support a little more accessible and one less thing for families to worry about during an already busy season of life.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me, referred families to me, and encouraged this step along the way—it truly means so much!!!

If you ever have questions about coverage or need support, I’m always happy to help 💛

Side-Lying Breastfeeding 🤱💤

💙 Side-lying breastfeeding can be a game-changer especially for nighttime feeds, postpartum recovery, or when you just need a little more rest.

Here’s how to do it:

1️⃣ Lie on your side with your baby facing you, tummy to tummy. Your baby’s nose should be level with your ni**le.
2️⃣ Bring your baby close so they don’t have to turn their head to latch—ear, shoulder, and hip in a straight line.
3️⃣ Use your bottom arm to support your head, and if needed, place a small pillow or rolled blanket behind your baby for support (not under baby).
4️⃣ Gently guide your breast so your ni**le brushes baby’s upper lip, wait for a wide open mouth, then bring baby in close.
5️⃣ Once latched, relax your shoulders and jaw. You should be comfortable, with baby’s chin touching the breast and nose free.

✨ Tips:
• Great option after a C-section or during long nights
• Switch sides by either rolling baby to the other side or changing positions between feeds
• If pain, clicking, or shallow latch occurs, adjust baby’s position—closer is usually better

💙 Breastfeeding doesn’t have to be upright to be effective. Comfort matters—for both you and your baby 💙

If you’re struggling with positioning or latch, lactation support can make all the difference.

✨The Conversation Between
Baby & Mom ✨

Breastfeeding is more than feeding — it’s communication.

When a baby nurses, their saliva interacts with receptors in the breast, signaling the mother’s body to adjust milk composition. Human milk is a living fluid that changes based on:

• Baby’s age – early milk is rich in immune factors; milk evolves as baby grows
• Baby’s health – maternal antibodies increase when baby is exposed to illness
• Baby’s unique needs – research shows subtle differences in milk composition related to infant s*x and developmental demands

Breast milk contains immune cells, antibodies, hormones, enzymes, and bioactive compounds that support brain development, gut health, and immune protection — and it continues adapting throughout lactation.

This isn’t coincidence. It’s biology doing exactly what it’s designed to do 🤍

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
