Someone left the perfect comment in response. “Western women really get to get over the notion that they somehow have better resources than everyone else. Formula and solids are available all over the continent.
There is just more formula lobbying in the west which has brain washed women not to breast feed. In other countries, women follow their gut, cultural norms or natural cues from the baby to initiate weaning.” -

9 months, now what?!

Not EBF anymore, but milk still as the primary source of nutrition. What's too much, not enough, what's normal, and what the heck is with these distracted 5 minute feeds?

We've got you covered in this post. Remember, this is what should typically happen as you progress towards Year 1. If this isn't the trajectory you're on, earlier intervention is always better than waiting!

Leave your questions in the comments! And save for when you get there so you don't forget.

Let's talk about lip blisters!

No, they're not always a sign of a lip tie. No, they're not "perfectly normal". The job of the lips is to create a seal. If they can't do that, or if they have to pick up the slack for other muscles that aren't working well, they get overworked. That often shows up as blisters, or the lips looking like they're two different colors.

Is this your baby? That's okay! It's typically not hard to correct. But we don't recommend "flipping the lips out" while they're trying to eat. If they're not using them properly, it's for a reason. It's our job to find out why, and show you how to help.

Be sure to follow so you don't miss other tips to make feeding your baby easier!

Red Light Therapy is AMAZING for healing!

Save this to try it you get sore!

Clicking isn't normal.

It can cause serious issues. In fact, most reflux in infants is "aerophagia-induced reflux" (reflux caused by swallowed air. Not acid reflux, which is one reason why acid-reducing medication isn't recommended by the AAP due to the health risks and lack of benefit.

Before filling that reflex prescription, read this. It just might be the cause of all that grunting, nasal congestion, spitting up, and gas.

What if we told you it isn't you.

You're not struggling because you haven't found the right latch video or tried the right low supply fix.

"Just keep trying." "Let's give it time." "Watch and wait." Advice like this ignores your gut instincts and makes you feel like if you could just work harder, things would get easier. We're here to tell you, you're doing enough. Your instincts are right. And you're in the right place.

Follow for feeding help that is more than just "try harder".

Calling it “extended” implies that it’s not the norm. While it’s true that most parents in the US do not continue after 1 year of age, it does not make it biologically normal. Most parents in the US also wean significantly sooner than they wanted due to lack of support and education, which doesn’t deserve to be normalized 💔
