Your Milk Story Lactation Consulting

Your Milk Story Lactation Consulting IBCLC Lactation Consultant, Prenatal & Postpartum support, Infant Massage classes

“But first… how does someone know they should schedule a prenatal lactation consult?”

This question comes up all the time — and honestly?
Most parents don’t realize they needed support until they’re already overwhelmed postpartum.

This clip is a small moment from my conversation on the Supportive Breast Friend podcast with Shelby Nelson , pulled from the full segment “Trust Is Built Through Touch.” We talk about how nurturing touch and breastfeeding are deeply connected — and why learning before birth matters so much.

Prenatal lactation consults aren’t just for people who expect problems. They’re for parents who want:

A plan before exhaustion sets in

Confidence feeding their baby in the first 48 hours

To understand their body before learning on zero sleep

Fewer surprises and more support after birth

Preparation doesn’t mean something will go wrong.
It means trust, confidence, and connection get built sooner — through education, touch, and support.

You don’t have to pump to get milk out.
Your hands already know how. 👋✨

During prenatal consults, every family we work with at Your Milk Story Lactation Consulting gets a colostrum collection kit—because learning hand expression at 36+ weeks (after confirming with your OB) is a skill that can make a huge difference postpartum.

Why this matters:

In the first 24–48 hours after birth, milk is colostrum—thick, concentrated, and often hard for a pump to remove

Your hands? Much better tool for the job

If baby isn’t latching yet or there’s separation after birth, knowing how to hand express can be a game-changer

This is a skill you can use anywhere—Target 🛒, stuck in traffic 🚗, or when you forgot your pump at work (it happens)

Hand expression isn’t a “backup plan.”
It’s a core feeding skill—and one you deserve to learn before you’re exhausted and overwhelmed postpartum.

✨ Want this level of prep too?
Schedule your prenatal lactation consult today. We’ll cover hand expression, feeding goals, postpartum planning—and you’ll leave with tools you can actually use.

Prepared, capable, and confident. That’s the goal. 💛

✨ Our Mother’s Milk Bank at Austin Depot Impact—2025 Recap ✨

From 1/1/25–12/26/25, our depot collected
🍼 14,600 ounces of donated human milk
💛 From 12 incredible donors

That translates to ~43,800 meals for medically fragile babies served by Mother’s Milk Bank at Austin .

Let that sink in for a second. That’s not just milk—that’s nourishment, growth, and hope.

A few things that make this especially meaningful:
• Many donations were large, bulk donations (well above the ~200 oz average)
• Several donors chose our depot exclusively for drop-off
• Easy, local drop-off clearly matters—and you showed us that

📈 For comparison:
In 2024, we collected 10,223 ounces
➡️ That’s a HUGE increase this year, and it happened because donors showed up, pumped with intention, and made the effort to give.

If you’ve ever donated, encouraged someone else to donate, or helped spread the word—this impact includes you.

And if you’re thinking “Maybe I could do that too”… yes. You can. 💪

Thank you to every donor who dropped off your precious liquid gold at our Your Milk Story depot. 💛

This season always makes us stop and reflect on what (and who) we’re truly grateful for — and honestly, it’s you.

Every family who walks through our door, texts us with a question in the middle of the night, shows up exhausted but committed, celebrates a tiny feeding win, or trusts us to sit with them in the hard moments… you’re the reason Your Milk Story exists.

You let us witness courage.
You let us witness vulnerability.
You let us witness love in its most tender form.

Thank you for trusting us with your baby, your story, and your goals. It’s the greatest privilege of our work — and we don’t take a second of it for granted.

Wishing you and your families a peaceful, connected, nourishing Thanksgiving holiday. 💛
