Okay I adore Lauren and never thought I’d be sharing a reel of hers on my lactation page, but here we are 😂

Once you transition babe to their own crib heres some helpful info. Basically less is more. Crib. Matress. And baby in a sleep sack. Done.

No wedges, no loose blankets, no crib rail covers of anykind. The more you know 💕

JJ how do I even begin to explain how much of a gem you are to expectant and postpartum mamas! You are the best!

If you are pregnant and looking for a confident and experiences massage therapist during pregnancy this is your gal! She is our local prenatal massage therapist and you can keep seeing her after baby is here! Prenatal is her specialty, but after you use her services, you will want to continue well after baby arrives!

You know I love my Prenatal Princesses.

I also love to help my Mamas grow into their new or expanded role.

What does Postnatal Massage look like at Family Tree Massage and Wellness?

For timing, if you have a regular delivery with no complications, you can receive Postnatal Massage as soon as you are feeling up to it.
With a surgical birth or a birth with complications, I ask that you either obtain clearance from your Healthcare Provider OR wait until after your 6 week check-up. It is important to me that you are healing well and are not dealing with any further complications that would be contraindications for massage.

As far as positioning, we can go back to face down and face up positioning, as long as that is comfortable for you. If that isn’t comfortable for any reason, we simply pull out all the pillows and switch back to the side-lying position.

One other important thing to consider with a Postnatal Massage is if you are nursing and would like to leave your bra on for your session, please make sure to wear a style that unhooks in the back. That way, you can leave it on, but you can unhook it while we work on your back, providing those lovely, long, slow massage techniques that really encourage the rest and restore side of your nervous system to do its thing.

Please contact me if you have further questions about Postnatal Massage or to schedule your next massage session.

Fact Friday!

Infant Risk Center is an amazing resource for families! I love this post they made. About making informed and educated decisions on breastfeeding while taking new or short term meds.

You can always reach out to me to check meds for you, and if we don't have enough info you can always call and check in with infant risk about how old you baby is, the dose you are taking, and come up with a plan that works for you and baby!

"When I was a breastfeeding mom, I didn’t know about the InfantRisk Center. On multiple occasions, I was told I’d have to stop breastfeeding when prescribed medications like antibiotics or even eye drops. It was frustrating and scary - but I did my own research, talked to other doctors, and found out continuing to breastfeed was actually safe," shares Alicia Nelson, BSN, RN, IBCLC and call center nurse.

"My 'why' is to be the resource I didn’t have. I want to support other moms and babies on their breastfeeding journey, and help them make safe, informed decisions without fear or misinformation. No one should have to choose between their health and feeding their baby when it’s not medically necessary."

We at the InfantRisk Center know it takes more than facts to make decisions. Sometimes you need guidance from a seasoned expert. Thanks to the generosity of the David D. & Nona S. Payne Foundation, we have a free call center for parents or providers. Call the InfantRisk Center, 1-806-352-2519, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. CST with any questions about medications and breastfeeding.
