Little Bird Lactation

Closed until further notice
Not for good, but still
Not exactly a statement I thought I'd be writing this year...

Sorry for the short notice, it snuck up on me too. But life has a way of moving fast ...

Thanks to all your amazing support, this small business has grown beyond my expectations these last 3 years❤️

Its grown so much in fact it's outgrown it's original framework for operating.
It's time to give this Little practice an update!

In an effort to continue to give the highest quality care, ALL SERVICES will be on hold while Little Bird undergoes a restructure.

Additionally Little Bird's phone number (507)450-6277, email (littlebirdibclc@gmail.com), and social media accounts WILL NOT be monitored or active during this closure.

While the timeline isn't exact, I anticipate to be closed for a few months while I navigate operating Little Bird, in a balance with my full-time nursing job, and being a working mom myself, with kids on the precipice of young adulthood.

I'm hoping to come back new and improved and ready to help!
Thank you for your patience and understanding and for your support of Little Bird in the community for 3 1/2 years running. It's been more amazing than I can even wrap my head around to have shared so many experiences with each and every one you and your beautiful babies!

I'm hosting one last feeding Friday before this pause, this Friday 12/5 at the Motherhood Collective and I'd love to see you and answer a few questions before I'm offline for awhile!

❗️Update❗️
Little Bird is TEMPORARILY closing.

But don't worry I'll be back in business as soon as possible, cause you know I can't stay away!

Little bird will be closed August 1st through early September, while I am out on surgery leave.

During this time I'll be focusing on my recovery so I won't be able to answer calls and messages, but I encourage you to reach out to your local hospital lactation, for any needs that arise.

I'll plan to transition back with first opening access to phone calls and then eventually in person visits.
I'll post any details about reopening right here, on social media!

And in the meantime, I'm gonna knock out all my continuing education, so I'll be coming back better than ever!

Don't have too many babies while i'm away You know I'll be missing you all. See you in september!

More Maternal health info you for...Did you know that 1 in 3 birthing people report feeling traumatized by their birth?

That is a staggering number. This can significantly impact the postpartum period, increasing the risk for PMAD's and shadowing all of the new territory to be navigated and memories to be cherished.

Brushing off our experiences with catch all phrases like "Well at least you're both healthy", just doesn't cut it.
We deserve better.

The good news is that there is lots of overdue light being shed on PMAD's and maternal mental health. This helps increase resources and better understanding from both healthcare professionals and the community in general.

In our own community, we are lucky enough to have several mental health professionals that can focus specifically on birth trauma and Maternal Mental health issues and concerns.

Check out the resources tab on The Motherhood Collective website for some of our favorite providers to support you through the perinatal period!

Its patio season! Take full advantage of the weather and bring your next nursing session outside🌞

Feeding doesn't have to be all work. Take your mama-multitasking to the max and use feeding time as a time to slow down and offer some nuturing to yourself along with your baby.

An outside breast or bottle sesh offers a chance for you and babe to soak up a little sunshine and fresh air!

Whether you settle into a chair in the backyard, a blanket on the beach, the perfect clearing on a hike, or maybe even patio seating at your favorite cafe or brewery, treat yourself and your baby to a little time in nature 🌻
