🏈 Game Day Prep Starts Before Kickoff 🏈
Feeding Foundations: Prenatal Edition 🤱🍼

Super Bowl Sunday reminds us of one big truth…
You don’t show up on game day without a game plan.

And feeding your baby?
That’s definitely not something you want to wing.

Think of our Feeding Foundations Prenatal Class as your pre-season training:

1. Learn the basics of breastfeeding, pumping, AND bottle feeding
2. Understand what feeding actually looks like in those first days (spoiler: it’s not like Instagram)
3. Build confidence before you’re tired, sore, and Googling at 2am
4. Create a flexible plan — because no two games (or babies) go the same way

🏈 Choose Your Team… or run a hybrid offense!
• Breastfeeding? We’ve got you
• Pumping? We cover that too
• Bottle feeding (breast milk or formula)? Absolutely

No matter how you feed, preparation = confidence.

Sign up for our Feeding Foundations Prenatal Class now so you’re not learning the rules during the game.

Because the real MVP isn’t perfection —
it’s education, support, and having a plan. 🏆

Winter Postpartum Foods That Heal, Nourish & Actually Make You Feel Good

Postpartum + winter can leave you feeling tired, achy, and blah.
The goal right now isn’t eating perfectly, it’s all about warming, nourishing, and rebuilding your body.

Here are some of my winter postpartum food favorites that support healing, energy, and mood as an IBCLC and Postpartum Doula:

Warm, slow foods:
• Bone broth, soups, and stews (chicken, lentil, beef)
• Oatmeal, congee, or warm grains
These support digestion, hydration, and recovery.

Protein at every meal:
• Eggs, slow-cooked meats, beans, tofu
Protein helps tissue repair, blood sugar balance, and energy (especially if you’re breastfeeding).

Root vegetables:
• Sweet potatoes, carrots, squash, beets
Grounding, mineral-rich, and easy on digestion — great for winter healing.

Healthy fats:
• Avocado, olive oil, butter, ghee, nuts
Essential for hormone balance, brain health, and staying full.

Immune-supporting add-ins:
• Garlic, ginger, turmeric, cinnamon
Warming spices that support circulation and reduce inflammation.

Easy versus elaborate, it doesn't have to be a production:
• Crockpot meals, freezer meals, and reheated leftovers count. You do not need gourmet.

Warm drinks matter
• Herbal teas, warm water, broth
Cold beverages can feel harsh postpartum — warmth supports comfort and digestion.

A gentle reminder:
If a food makes you feel depleted, bloated, or foggy — listen to that.
Postpartum nourishment should leave you feeling supported, not punished.

Your body has done something incredible.
Feeding it well is part of healing.

The Abeille Feeding Clinic

Your best beginning starts with support.

04/02/2026

Today’s feeding support group deserves a pause and a deep breath.

Today, 11 families showed up.Not including 3 dads and 4 siblings. And when I say the room was full — I don’t just mean physically.It was full of connection, vulnerability, laughter, questions, exhaustion, and community.

We had 9 returning families — families who keep coming back not because they’re “struggling”, but because they’ve found something rare, a place where they feel safe asking questions, sharing wins, naming hard things, and not having to explain themselves.

And we welcomed 3 brand new families — walking into a room full of strangers during one of the rawest stages of life.
That takes courage. Real courage.

I’ve always had dreams in this profession.Sure, being busy and successful is one of them and I’m not fully there yet.But another dream?This. Exactly this.

A space where parents can gather without pressure.
Where feeding questions, big or small, are welcomed.Where postpartum doesn’t feel so isolating.Where support is free, accessible, and human.

Today I was busy.
But more than that — my heart is full

To the families who came for the first time, I see your bravery. It’s scary to walk through that door, and you did it. I’m proud of you. I will also say, one of you came with cookies!

To the families who keep coming back, building friendships and community right in front of my eyes, thank you for trusting this space and each other.

This is why I do this.
And today reminded me that even on the hard days, this work matters more than I can ever put into words.

Okay, enough of me being sappy. It’s the 5 cups of coffee, I swear!

Thank you Ruth & Co Bakery for baking and providing delicious sugar cookies and English Muffins today. We appreciate you.

Here in St. Robert and the surrounding areas, these are the people who may play a role in lactation support — and how those roles are different:

🤍 Prenatal education
• Hi, it’s me.
I help families prepare before baby arrives — feeding goals, expectations, pumping plans, red flags, and setting up support early.

🏥 In-hospital or homebirth support
• Labor & delivery nurses, postpartum nurses, or homebirth teams
• GLWACH currently has two CLCs, and Phelps has one CLC
They’re there to help with initial latch and early feeding support right after birth — which is so important.

🤱 Ongoing lactation support (that’s me again)
• Engorgement
• Painful or difficult latching
• Milk transfer concerns
• Pumping issues
• Supply concerns (low or oversupply)
• When feeding gets complicated, emotional, or exhausting

👩‍⚕️ Pediatricians and Midwife
• Monitor growth and overall health
• Identify concerns
• Provide referrals when feeding issues need extra support

A really important reminder:
Many families assume everyone in healthcare is fully trained in breastfeeding and lactation support. While each of these roles matters deeply, not everyone has the same level of lactation-specific education or the ability to manage complex feeding challenges.

When feedings are hard — really hard — it often takes in-depth lactation care and time. That’s where specialized support makes the difference.

You deserve a team.
And you deserve support that goes beyond “it’ll work itself out.”

Let’s be real for a moment 💛

If you’re pregnant and stationed at Fort Leonard Wood or living in St. Robert, Rolla, Lebanon, or anywhere in mid-Missouri, this is your gentle nudge to be proactive about feeding support.

📌 Insurance heads-up
• Currently in network with United Healthcare (through TLN) and Cigna (through Wildflower)
• Medicaid: Nicole, our SLP/IBCLC, that comes down every other week is the only provider currently in network with MO Health Network ONLY. Other Medicaid plans
• TRICARE families: we are still waiting to become in network
Even with “expedited” processing, we’ve been told it can take 3–6 months

I know how frustrating that is — I truly do.

📌 Planning ahead (so there are no surprises):
• Prenatal class: $50 (group) / $100 (private)
• Initial consult: $200 (clinic) / $250 and more (home visit)
• Follow-up visits: $100

➡️ Many families invest around $400 total when support is built in early.

Simple ways to make this manageable:
• Add feeding support funds to your baby registry, baby list is an option for this
• Ask family for gift cards toward care instead of more baby items
• Set aside $50 from each paycheck into a support fund — it adds up faster than you think

What breaks my heart is that most parents reach out when things already feel awful — exhausted, overwhelmed, and wishing they had booked sooner or taken a prenatal class first.

So this is me saying, gently but clearly:
Please, please, please plan ahead.
Future you will be so thankful you did 🤍

I absolutely love the resources that The Holding Space KC offers. Do I wish they were closer to st robert, absolutely, but they are the people who specialize in what is near and dear to my heart.

They offer virtual, which works for some people, and allows you to receive support from the comfort of your own home.
