Not sure if you “need” lactation support? 🤱🏼🍼

If you’ve ever wondered:
“Is this latch okay?”
“Is baby getting enough?”
“Why does this hurt?”
“Do I really need to pump?”
“Does baby need a bottle?”

That’s exactly when to reach out. 💕🤝

I provide in home lactation support so we can assess everything in real time — in your space, with your baby.

Support early.
Support later.
Support whenever.

You don’t have to wait until something feels urgent 🤍

If you’ve been given a ni**le shield — this is not a failure 🤍

There are absolutely situations where they’re appropriate and helpful.

But they should always come with:
✔ A reason
✔ A plan
✔ Lactation follow-up

Shields can impact milk transfer.
And milk transfer drives supply.

Because oxytocin (your letdown hormone) is stimulated by ni**le stretching — and a shield can limit that stimulation. Most shield use should be temporary, with the goal of transitioning off when possible.

If you’re using one and don’t have a plan in place, let’s make one 💛

✨Did you know your insurance may cover in home lactation visits—sometimes with little to no out-of-pocket cost? ✨

Whether you’re preparing for baby, in the early days of feeding, or navigating new challenges, I’d love to be there to support your journey.

Every week I am offering one free virtual lactation visit to a St Croix River Valley family who would not otherwise be able to access IBCLC care. I have really enjoyed doing this and my slot has filled the last 3 weeks that I have been doing them. Help me get the word out so no one has to go without care!

While I would love to help everyone, this offering is intentionally meant to give back to my local community and support families right here at home.

This visit is for families who may:
• Not have insurance or lactation coverage
• Have tried the support they have access to without result
• Are unable to currently pay out of pocket

How to seek this care:
👉 Send me a private message or book via my scheduling link (selecting free visit)

Anybody who knows me is aware that volunteering in my community is my jam. I'm passionate about giving back to others so feel it is important to do this in my business also. Please share this resource with anyone you think may benefit! 🤍

✨ River Valley Moms ✨

Feeding your baby — breastfeeding, pumping, combo feeding, or just wondering what’s normal — can bring up a lot of questions. And early motherhood can feel isolating. This group is here to change that 🤍

This week on Thursday I am hosting a River Valley Moms meet up!! This is a welcoming space for moms who are expecting or have a baby under one. It’s a chance to get out of the house, connect with other moms, share stories, ask feeding questions, and find community — because motherhood is better when we do it together. 💕

📍 Wilberg Memorial Library, Osceola, WI
🗓 Thursday, February 12 | 11 AM – 12 PM

👶🏼 Bring your baby, your questions, and even your coffee. I’ll have a scale available for weight checks or weighted feeds if you’d like support — but mostly, come for connection and reassurance. Toddlers are welcome too, so don’t let that stop you from coming!

Invite or tag a mom friend who might love this! Hope to see you there! 🫶🏼☀️

💤 Breastfeeding Reduces Risk of SIDS by 36%

📊 The Evidence:

A major meta-analysis published in Pediatrics (2017) reviewed data from over 9,000 infant deaths and found that any breastfeeding, regardless of exclusivity, was associated with a 36% reduction in the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).

Exclusive breastfeeding for at least 2 months reduced SIDS risk by up to 50% — and the protective effect increased with duration.

🤔 Why does breastfeeding protect against SIDS?
There’s no single cause of SIDS, but breastfeeding may help by:

🛡️ Enhancing immune protection
Breastmilk contains antibodies and immune factors that protect against infections — especially respiratory and gastrointestinal illnesses, which are linked to increased SIDS risk.

🧠 Supporting neurological and cardiorespiratory development
Breastfed babies tend to have more stable heart rates, better arousal responses from sleep, and improved brainstem function — all crucial for survival during sleep disruptions.

🌡️ Reducing inflammation
Human milk reduces inflammatory markers and may promote better autonomic regulation, which helps prevent sudden cardiorespiratory failure during sleep.

👃 Decreased exposure to harmful pathogens
Breastfeeding reduces the risk of infections and bacterial colonization, particularly in the upper respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts.

🗣️ Bottom Line:
Breastfeeding — even partial — is a powerful, evidence-based way to reduce the risk of SIDS. Promoting and supporting breastfeeding is one of the most impactful public health tools we have for infant survival and safety.
