Did you know that positive self-talk can actually reduce postpartum anxiety and help new moms feel more confident in their parenting?

When we replace "I'm failing" with "I'm learning," we rewire the way our brain processes stress.

For breastfeeding mamas especially where so much pressure is placed on your body gentle, encouraging words can make all the difference.

Be as kind to yourself as you would be to your best friend.

Sumter county residents: we have long wanted to offer healthcare to you. Elizabeth has family ties to Webster and for many years has been thinking of how to do housecalls for you.

While we are still figuring out how this will work in the long term, she is going to be in Webster for a brief time tomorrow. We know this is definitely short notice, but we wanted to offer a trial run for anyone in need of an urgent visit. So if you are in need of a house call appointment for your child tomorrow, Sunday, and live in Webster/Center Hill/Bushnell areas, we have very limited availability for either sick visits or ear piercings.

Please message us on here for more information or to schedule!

👋🏾 Hey Sumter County Families! Welcome to all my new followers!

I'm Tenesha, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and the owner of Paradise Lactation Care LLC.

And when I'm not with clients? I'm working in the front lines to bring more resources and services to Sumter County because this community is being overshadowed by The Villages population that has an abundance of support. And I don't just serve this community, I live here too. This is personal for me. 🌺
I'm a mama and a neighbor!

Let's talk about oversupply — because it's not all it's cracked up to be.

You've probably seen the term "just enougher" running rampant on the internet lately over on the clock app from mamas who produce just enough milk for their baby. And so often, just enoughers are made to feel like they're on the losing end, looking up at oversuppliers as the goal.

But here's what nobody tells you about oversupply 👇

💛 You have to tend to your breasts constantly. It means your body is producing more than baby needs, which requires frequent pumping and draining just to stay comfortable.

💛 Clogged ducts become a real threat. When milk isn't drained regularly and fully, it can back up leading to painful clogged ducts that take days to resolve.

💛 Mastitis is a very real risk. Mastitis is a common complication of lactation that at its most basic definition is inflammation or swelling in the breast. This inflammation often starts with an unresolved clogged duct where milk has not been moved soon enough.

💛 Your milk ejection reflex can be forceful. With a larger volume of milk being pushed out, the milk ejection reflex (letdown) becomes stronger — which can cause baby to gulp, choke, and swallow excess air, leading to gas, reflux, fussiness, and other gut issues that are hard to watch your little one struggle through.

💛 It can be emotionally exhausting having to tend to your breasts more than the average mama is its own kind of mental load.

So to every just enougher out there — your supply is not a consolation prize. Your body is doing exactly what your baby needs. 💛

Tongue and lip ties aren't just a breastfeeding problem. They're a whole-body problem — and most people never find out or they are told everything "looks" normal.

As an IBCLC I perform a thorough oral assessment on every baby I see. I'm not just looking in your baby's mouth for 2 seconds, I look at how the latch may be affecting you, tongue range of motion and function. I'm evaluating overall breastfeeding comfort AND whether tethered tissues may be impacting your baby by way of swallowing air that is often confused for reflux or a dairy allergy, and slow weight gain impacted by limited transfer at the breast.

When tethered tissues aren't addressed, they can affect:

🦷 Oral rest posture — if a child can't maintain correct oral rest posture, it leads to a narrow palate
🦷 Orthodontic issues — crowded teeth, open bite, overbite, and the need for more extensive (and expensive!) treatment down the road
😮‍💨 A narrow palate = a narrow airway
😴 A narrow airway = grinding, snoring, and disrupted sleep
😬 TMJ dysfunction (TMD)
🧍 Whole body tension and postural compensations

Your baby is incredibly resilient — their body WILL find ways to compensate. But those compensations come with a cost over time.

If my assessment indicates a concern, here's what the next steps looks like:
✅ Referral for bodywork first
✅ If things don't improve, a referral to a pediatric dentist for an official diagnosis and possible release of the frenulum

Knowledge is power, mama. You deserve a provider who is looking at the WHOLE picture.

I'm an IBCLC with TOTs (Tethered Oral Tissues) training — here to help you connect the dots.
