Loyal Lactation

Today I had three virtual clients

1 In New York
1 in Georgia
1 in California

A lot of people are skeptical about if I can help them virtually since I can’t physically put my hands on them but they are pleasantly surprised.

If you’re not in my service area I’d love to work with you virtually as well.

As we are coming up on a new round of test takers I wanted to share some of the things that I found very helpful when preparing for my IBCLC exam. I also took IBCLE practice exam but they no longer offer it in the way I took it so I didn’t add it to the list.

I previously did a video on books I used to study. If you want more study info comment below.

UPDATE ON the ByHeart Recall

You should wash items and surfaces that may have touched the recalled formula using hot soapy water or a dishwasher. If possible, you should record the lot number or take a picture of the product prior to disposal or return of the product.

Symptoms of infant botulism can take as long as several weeks to develop, so parents should remain vigilant if they used the recalled lots of formula. Parents or guardians should seek immediate medical care if your infant consumed ByHeart Inc. Whole Nutrition Infant Formula and has any of these symptoms:

Poor feeding
Difficulty swallowing
Decreased facial expression
Loss of head control
Respiratory difficulty

I’ve been working with this Mama before the arrival of her baby via gestational carrier.

Phase 1: We wanted to “Mimic Pregnancy” (6–8 weeks)
Use birth control pills with both estrogen + progesterone
This signals to your breasts: we are pregnant now.
Some parents add domperidone or metoclopramide to boost prolactin
(This part depends on doctor comfort + availability.)

What’s happening:
Your breast tissue is growing milk glands behind the scenes. You may not see milk yet — but the foundation is being built.

Phase 2: We Switch to Milk-Making Mode
Stop BC + Start Pumping
Continue domperidone (if using).
Start pumping 8–10 times a day (yes, even overnight at least once).
Power pump 1–2x daily for a week at a time to jump-start supply.

What you’ll see:
• Drops or moisture first
• Then teaspoons
• Then slowly ounces over weeks

Her little one is due next week & we can’t wait to get baby latched.

Did you know you could induce lactation?
