Making a balanced doesn't have to be complicated.
Start with Greek yogurt for protein, add strawberries and bananas for fiber and natural sweetness, sprinkle in chia seeds for healthy fats and fiber, and top with granola for protein and fiber. When we build meals with protein, carbs, fat, and fiber we stay full longer and support steady energy.

A balanced meal provides energy, maximizes nutrient intake, keeps you full, and helps with weight management.
Include at least one carb, protein, fat, and fiber to your meals. For balanced snacking, aim for two categories to feel full longer and prevent blood sugar spikes.

Baby biting while nursing? Offer something to chew on before latching (a teething toy is great, but a frozen washcloth works, too!). This increases your little one’s comfort and usually leads to less biting while latched.

Let’s give a warm welcome to Jenn as an official part of the Milky Moms team 💜 Jenn has been with us since last summer, and from day one she has truly brightened our days. She brings the kind of positive energy that fills the room and makes everyone feel seen and supported. Whether she’s working hard to fit a patient in as soon as possible, helping behind the scenes, or offering an encouraging word, Jenn consistently goes above and beyond for the families we serve.
As a mom of three herself, Jenn deeply values having a supportive community for mothers. She often shares how much she wishes a village like Milky Moms had been there for her during her own journeys and that lived experience is exactly what makes her so passionate about being part of that village for others.

Please join us in welcoming Jenn in the comments below, and feel free to share any positive experiences you’ve had with her 💗.

See you this week.
