Thanksgiving brings families together, and with a newborn in the mix, everyone suddenly wants a turn holding the baby.

But holidays can be a lot for new parents — overstimulation, extra hands, and zero quiet moments to feed or soothe.

Here are a few gentle ways to protect your peace (and your baby’s):

✨ Wear a baby carrier. It’s the easiest, least confrontational way to keep baby close and reduce the “Can I hold them?” requests.
✨ Create a feeding haven. Step into a quiet room or corner whenever you need to nurse, pump, or just breathe.
✨ Use phrases that set boundaries softly:
• “We’re taking a little nursing break.”
• “Baby’s getting overstimulated, we’re going to step away for a minute.”
• “We’re keeping them close today — flu and RSV season is real.”
✨ Tag-team with your partner or support person. Let them run interference, hold conversations, and redirect eager hands.

New babies don’t need the holiday hustle — they need your calm, your warmth, and your pace.

There's nothing like 2 kids waking up at 2 am because one threw up on the other one. We have HF&M and now the stomach bug just entered the chat. Mom life never ends 🤢

Hand Foot & Mouth is making its rounds and everybody is panicking.

It has hit our house and the panic is not too bad but for comfort measures all appointments will be virtual until we are out of the woods.

🦠 Here’s how to keep your baby hydrated and comfortable.

It's important to wash your hands thoroughly after every diaper change to help prevent the spread; the virus sheds in the stool.

During this time babies often want to nurse more frequently or not at all if their throat feels sore.

Cluster feeding is a good thing because keeping your baby hydrated is key.

If your baby wont nurse try freezing your expressed breastmilk and offer it as a slushy or a breastmilk popsicle.

If you’re unsure how to keep breastfeeding through illness or your baby is refusing to nurse, reach out — we can make a plan together.

Reach out via text (352) 801-6025 for a virtual consultation.

✨ Then & Now ✨

A year ago, I met this beautiful mama and a second time parent navigating colic-like symptoms that we thoroughly investigated, sleepless nights, and all the emotions that come with those early weeks. They’ve reached a huge milestone: one full year of breastfeeding.

This was one of my very first families in private practice, and watching their journey unfold has been nothing short of inspiring. This mama and baby have reminded me exactly why I do this work and why it's not just first time moms that need support.

Each visit, each latch, each ounce of progress has shaped not only their story, but mine too. 🌱

Here’s to one year of dedication, growth, and love.
Here’s to trusting the process.
Here’s to every family finding their own rhythm one feed at a time.

As a lactation consultant and mom, I know feeding ourselves while feeding our babies is already a balancing act. 💛

With SNAP benefits not being available next month, I’ll keep sharing any updates or community resources I come across. No mom should have to stress about how to feed her family.

I know many moms rely on their benefits to buy formula and groceries. If you’re struggling, reach out to your local WIC office or your pediatrician they may have formula reserves or sample cans available.

You’re not alone.
