We have to talk about formula advertising… AGAIN.

A nationwide recall. Multiple failed inspections. Infants hospitalized.

And yet sponsored posts for ByHeart are still showing up in mothers’ feeds.

That alone should raise serious concern.

The postpartum window is tender and disorienting. Mothers are healing, running on very little sleep, learning their baby’s cues while trying to trust their own bodies again. Companies understand this timing and they use it.

It is troubling when corporate marketing inserts itself into one of the most vulnerable seasons of a woman’s life, especially when safety and transparency are already in question.

It is unethical that a brand continues aggressive digital promotion during a recall of their product tied to infant illness and hospitalization.

Mothers deserve honesty. Babies deserve protection. And birth workers (all people, really) should be willing to name when something isn’t sitting right.

If you want to help push back, comment “action” and I’ll share the email template we’re using to request these ads be removed.

Unregulated formula advertising on Meta platforms is a threat to public health. Here’s why:

1️⃣ Undermines Breastfeeding: It erodes maternal confidence and discourages breastfeeding, which is clinically proven to protect infant and maternal health.

2️⃣ Promotes Unsafe Feeding Practices: Influencers often show formula being prepared incorrectly. There is no mention the medical risks of formula or when its use is clinically appropriate.

3️⃣ Linked to Harm and Litigation: There are currently over 700 lawsuits filed against major formula companies for failing to warn parents that their products can cause necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in premature infants — a devastating and often fatal condition.

4️⃣ Violates Global Health Standards: The WHO, UNICEF, and The Lancet have all called for a ban on digital marketing, warning it misleads families and endangers public health.

🛑 This is a systemic issue, not a personal choice. Meta must take responsibility. END IT NOW.

👉 Comment if you’ll stand with me on August 1st—World Breastfeeding Day.

This isn’t about breastfeeding moms vs. bottle-feeding moms.
It’s about families rising up against billion-dollar corporations that profit off our fears, vulnerabilities, and uncertainty.

Because no parent should be manipulated when they’re at their most tender and tired.
And no baby should be seen as a marketing opportunity.

We deserve better. Our babies do, too. 💜

👉 Comment if you’re with me.
📣 On August 1st - World Breastfeeding Day, I’m taking a stand against predatory formula marketing. Will you join me?

isn’t about how you feed your baby.
It’s about protecting mothers from corporate manipulation, so every feeding decision is made from truth, not pressure.

🤱🏽 This kind of sneaky advertising is banned in countries around the world…
Yet here in the U.S., vulnerable moms are being quietly targeted online, fueling profit at the expense of public health.

Mothers deserve support.
Babies deserve protection.
And neither should be pawns in a billion-dollar ad game.

Comment if you agree!

If I could sit across from you right now—with a warm cup of tea and a birth book in hand—I’d tell you this:

You are not overthinking this.
You are not being difficult.
You are not imagining things.

If your provider makes you feel unsure, dismissed, or small…
That’s not your fault. It’s a signal.

And you can do something about it.

I made something new to help you spot misaligned care faster—and know exactly what to look for instead.

Ever walked away from a prenatal appointment thinking:
“Wait… was that normal?”
But then told yourself to brush it off—because you didn’t want to be that mom?

I know how you feel. And I’ve seen too many other women silence their gut feeling when something didn’t feel right—only to find themselves headed down a path they never wanted.

That’s why I’ve been quietly working on something behind the scenes for you.
To help you spot red flags before it’s too late to pivot.
To help you feel more confident saying, “Actually… I’d like to do things differently.”

✨ Next week, I’m dropping a brand-new (and totally free!) tool that gives you the clarity, language, and peace of mind you’ve been craving.
💜 Follow + turn on notifications so you don’t miss it.

“Wait… I can actually say NO during labor?” 😳

Yes, friend. You absolutely can. And you should—if something doesn’t feel right to you.

But honestly, when you’re in labor, mid-contraction, and someone throws a medical decision your way, it’s HARD to think straight. That’s why knowing how to advocate for yourself before labor even starts is so important.

💡 What are your rights in labor?
💡 What’s the exact phrase to use if a provider is pressuring you?
💡 How do you confidently push back without feeling like “the difficult patient”?

I’m breaking it all down in my latest blog post so you can walk into birth feeling confident, not caught off guard.
