Today we celebrate International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) Day 💛

Being an IBCLC isn’t just a credential to me, it’s my passion. It means showing up for families in some of their most vulnerable, emotional, exhausting, and beautiful moments. It means listening without judgment, supporting without pressure, and guiding with evidence-based care and compassion.

I care deeply about the work I do. I care about the mother who feels overwhelmed at 2am. I care about the baby learning to latch. I care about the tears, the triumphs, the setbacks, and the one-year milestones that once felt impossible.

To be trusted in someone’s feeding journey is something I never take lightly. Every consult, every follow-up, every encouraging message — it matters to me.

Happy IBCLC Day to all of the incredible lactation professionals who pour their hearts into this work. And to the families who allow us to walk alongside you, thank you. 🤍

✨ EXCITING NEWS ✨

Raise your hand if you’ve ever googled ‘why won’t my baby sleep’ at 2am. 🙋🏻‍♀️

Well, I have an announcement...

While I’ve been supporting moms & caring for babies, I’ve also been studying behind the scenes all Fall & Winter. and I’m so excited to finally say it out loud.

I am officially a Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant! 🌙✨💤

Sleep has always been part of the conversations I have with families, because when everyone is well rested, everything feels much more manageable. Now I get to support you even more intentionally, not just in the newborn days, but far beyond postpartum.

I will now be offering gentle sleep coaching as an extension of my postpartum doula work with Rooted in Nurture. Another way I can walk alongside you and help your whole family thrive.

To celebrate, I’ll be opening a very limited number of spots for gentle sleep coaching at a special introductory rate. I’ll share more details soon, so please stay tuned!

I’m really, really excited about this one. 💕

This one is special. 🤍

I am SO incredibly proud of this mother.

When we first met, breastfeeding felt like an uphill battle. She was navigating:

• Latch difficulties
• Jaundice and all the feeding stress that comes with it
• Low milk supply worries
• Breast and ni**le pain
• Mastitis
• A tongue tie diagnosis

There were tears. There was exhaustion. There were moments of “I don’t know if I can keep doing this.”

But she kept showing up.
She asked questions.
She adjusted.
She healed.
She advocated for her baby.

And now? Her baby is almost ONE year old. 🥹

Not because it was easy.
Not because everything went perfectly.
But because she was supported, informed, and incredibly determined.

Breastfeeding journeys don’t have to be flawless to be successful. They can be messy, painful, complicated — and still end in strength and confidence.

To this amazing mother: you did that. 🤍

And to any parent in the thick of it right now — hard does not mean impossible. With the right support, things can turn around.

Pro Tip: Lubricate your fl**ges.

A dry fl**ge increases friction.
Friction causes swelling.
Swelling affects milk flow.

A small amount of coconut oil can make a big difference!!!

Becoming a parent is one of the most incredible transformations you will ever experience… and also one of the hardest!

One day you’re pregnant, preparing and imagining. The next day, your entire world has shifted. Your body feels unfamiliar. Your hormones are all over the place. Sleep is unpredictable. The “routine” you once had? Gone. And the new rhythm? It hasn’t quite found you yet.

That in-between space can feel overwhelming.

We talk a lot about the joy of bringing home a baby — and there is so much joy. But there’s also exhaustion, identity shifts, physical recovery, feeding challenges, and the mental load of keeping a tiny human alive.

This is why postpartum support is not a luxury — it’s essential.

💛 Family & Friends
The people who bring meals, hold the baby while you shower, fold laundry, or simply sit with you and listen — they are part of your healing.

💛 Doulas
Postpartum doulas provide hands-on, practical, and emotional support during those early weeks. They normalize what you’re feeling and help you feel less alone.

💛 Lactation Consultants
Feeding your baby can be beautiful… and sometimes frustrating or painful. Having a skilled professional guide you through latch concerns, supply questions, or pumping plans can make all the difference — not just for feeding success, but for your confidence.

No new parent is meant to do this alone.

If you’re in that “no rhythm yet” phase — please hear this:
It doesn’t mean you’re failing.
It means you’re adjusting.
And adjustment takes support.

Motherhood (and parenthood) is not about doing it all perfectly. It’s about being supported well enough that you can show up for your baby — and for yourself.

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!

How do I know my baby is getting enough milk?!

This is one of the most common questions I hear as a lactation consultant 🤍

Instead of watching the clock or stressing over ounces, look for THESE signs:

💧 6+ wet diapers a day after day 5, 3+ p**p diapers in the first 4-6 weeks
👂 You can hear swallowing during feeds
⚖️ Baby is gaining weight appropriately
🧘 Baby looks relaxed and satisfied after most feeding
🔢 Baby is eating 8-12+ times per 24 hours

If you’re seeing these signs, your baby is likely getting exactly what they need.

And remember — cluster feeding does NOT mean low supply!

Save this for 2am reassurance ✨

Confession: Today’s office = my car 🚗😂

Between home visits, I hopped into the front seat, propped up my prenatal breastfeeding education materials, and did a virtual consult from my “office”

But in all seriousness — prenatal breastfeeding education is SO important. Most parents spend months preparing for labor and their baby’s nursery… but feeding? Something you need to allll the time?! It often doesn’t get enough preparation!

Meeting with a lactation consultant during pregnancy helps you:

• Understand how your milk supply actually works
• Learn what’s normal in the first few days
• Make a plan if challenges arise
• Feel confident instead of overwhelmed

Feeding your baby is a big deal — and it’s so much easier when you’re prepared!

Yes, I’ll teach from a nursery, a couch, and apparently my car 😅 — because helping families feel ready before baby arrives is so important.

If you’re pregnant, put “prenatal lactation consult” on your to-do list! You won’t regret it! 💛

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

Today is a perfect day to discuss OXYTOCIN aka ❤️ The love hormone ❤️

Did you ever wonder how women make milk for their babies?! 👇

❤️In response to a baby suckling or pumping, oxytocin is released from the posterior pituitary gland which causes the milk to eject or let down from the breast. Oxytocin is released in pulsating waves 🌊 and then carried through the bloodstream to the breasts. Then tiny muscle cells interact with oxytocin and squeeze milk into the ducts of the breast. Some women can feel pressure or warmth when this happens.

❤️Oxytocin has another important role which is to contract the mother’s uterus. This helps control bleeding after giving birth and brings the uterus back down to pre pregnancy size. These cramps might be painful the first few days postpartum. Using a heat pack can be helpful.

❤️This process becomes so strong that some mothers start to leak milk while just looking at her baby or hearing a baby cry. Oxytocin is responsible for feeling a deep sense of love and connection with your baby as well as relaxation.

I hope you have a great Valentine’s Day ❤️💕😍😘
