"Have you tried cutting dairy?"

We'd be rich if we had a dollar for every time our clients were told that.

"Did it help?"
"Not really."
"Then it's probably not dairy." Here are all the reasons that a random elimination diet isn't the best option.

Comment below if someone told you to cut dairy!

Okay but why do so many lactation consultants still teach this 😅

Do you see the problem here? The "moving target" latch - the "sandwich", "flipple", and so many others. Your baby is using their entire body and a specific set of reflexes to latch. You line them up perfectly, wait for their mouth to open, squish your anatomy into a "sandwich", and brush their lips, only to have them shake their heads back and forth like they can't find the ni**le that's right in front of their face, or latch on shallow and you both get frustrated and cry.

Stop asking them to latch to a moving target! Stop brushing, shaping, sandwiching, and moving your body around. Keep still! Don't change the shape or brush their lips. You're forcing them to chase the ni**le around and try to grab onto a moving target.

Still not sure what to do? Comment below if you're confused!

We want to know! As IBCLCs, our favorite advice is to encourage you to listen to your gut. If you tell us you think baby is struggling with something, even if you’ve already been dismissed by the pediatrician or another provider, we know we need to listen and help. You know your baby best. ❤️

Upgrade your clog care!

Before you come at us, the only study on sunflower lecithin "unsticking fats" involved adding it to the milk of tube fed babies so the milk fat didn't stick to the tubing. That isn't how human bodies work! Your milk ducts aren't made of PVC.

You need techniques that really work, not social media trends. We're hosting a free virtual workshop on 3/17 to talk about all things mammary health. Watch for the sign up in our stories.

The answer is C - Snack Pumps!

Frequent milk expression is the BEST way to have a great supply and perfect fat content. Even hand expression after feeding works! Scheduled feedings, long overnight stretches, block feeding, and sleep training all drive the fat content down.

Sunflower lecithin doesn't increase fat or make it less sticky. That's a myth. You're not making skim milk. You don't have to load up on certain foods so your milk is "good enough". You're doing great!

Share this with a friend to let them know they're doing a great job.

We're talking evidence based techniques, not social media trends.

Everyone deserves feeding support.

If you're not planning to nurse your baby, you should still be prepared for how to feed them! You'll still need to care for yourself since your body will make milk regardless. Focusing on responsive feeding, good oral function, a healthy gut, safe formula prep, and avoiding predatory marketing can set you up for a successful feeding journey. If you're struggling, we can help!

Save this if you're pregnant and not planning on nursing.
