A New Chapter in Macon: Nurturing Lactation Care Opens on Historic Vineville Avenue

I've never been one to keep big news to myself, so here it is: On March 1st, I'm opening a Nurturing Lactation Care office right here in Macon, and I'm already booking appointments for that first week. Suite 107 at 2607 Vineville Avenue will officially become a space where Middle Georgia families can find the lactation support they need without the drive....

There are MANY resources we can use to identify issues, provide solutions, and work together to support your breastfeeding journey and feeding needs. Using the scale for weighted feeds lets us know how much milk baby is transferring. When we meet at your appointment, I might suggest things like supplements, pump supplies, new bottle ni***es, or ultrasound, depending on your individual needs.

When you schedule an appointment with me, you can rest knowing that I’m bringing options with me, and I’ve got you covered.

Mamas, have you ever stared at a seemingly unending list of pump options and thought, “This can’t be that hard?!”

When you’re searching for the perfect fit, it can seem like there’s a million things to take into consideration and a million pumps that promise endless possibilities. How in the world are we supposed to narrow it down and choose the best options?

If you’re stuck on what’s best for you and your goals, let me help! I’d love to remove this stress for you by making recommendations of my favorite choices, helping you make sure you’re getting the most out of your insurance’s pump coverage, ordering your pump for you, and making sure you’re stocked with supplies.

You don’t have to do this alone 🤍

It’s always great to see new developments in evidence-based lactation research, but when we get a rare longitudinal study like this one, it makes me take notice. We often think of breastfeeding as protective for our babies but forget the long-term protective benefits it brings for nursing women as well.

Amazingly, even 10 years after breastfeeding, lactation is linked to lower depression and anxiety scores. This 2026 longitudinal prospective cohort study found that any breastfeeding, longer exclusive breastfeeding, and lifetime breastfeeding of ≥12 months are all associated with less depression and anxiety after 10 years.

I wanted to share this important message for new moms, hospital staff, birth workers, and supportive family and friends. If I could go back and talk to myself as a new mom, this is what I would tell her.

Contrary to popular belief, breastfeeding doesn’t usually require a special diet.

Most nursing mamas do not need to avoid specific foods unless there’s a clear medical reason. Some babies may experience sensitivities or allergies, and when this is identified by your medical team or suspected, a change in diet can be necessary.

However, for most mamas and babies, consistent nutrition matters far more than restriction.

If feeding advice feels overwhelming or contradictory, evidence-based guidance can help cut through the noise. I'm always here to help separate scientific fact from fiction. If you're navigating feeding challenges or diet confusion brought on by your baby's sensitivities or allergies, reach out! I'm happy to help with evidence-based support.

As we begin a new week, I hope you can offer yourself a little softness.

Feeding a baby is real work. From the physical toll of feeding and missed rest to the emotional labor of caring for an infant, it's normal to feel like you're in survival mode sometimes. When shaky days hit, remember to take care of yourself, too, and reach out for help from family, friends, or your support team.

Wherever you are in your journey, you are welcome here. 🤍

You don’t need to wait until things feel unbearable to ask for help.

Early support can prevent small challenges from becoming exhausting ones. If feeding feels harder than you expected, that’s not a failure, it’s a signal that support could help. Whether your concern is listed here or you're needing support with something totally different, I'm only a phone call away. You can always reach out here or through my website, www.nurturinglc.com. I'm honored to be a part of your team.
