We used to treat clogged milk ducts with
🔥heat
+ deep tissue massage
+ extra pumping…

But updated guidance actually says
❄️ cool compress
+ gentle massage {breast gymnastics 🤸🏽 for the win}
+ breast rest AKA normal milk expression routine
+ 💊 Advil/Tylenol

Why?
Because most “clogs” = inflammation, not stuck milk.
And too much heat + pressure + stimulation can actually make it worse.

For tear ducts, it’s a different process so warm compress + massage are still recommended.. but you better believe my IBCLC brain has heat and massage PTSD and had to look up the clogged tear duct protocol just to be sure it hadn’t changed 🤓🤷🏽‍♀️ 😂

Save this for the next time someone tells you to “massage it out” 🙃

And if you’re dealing with a clog right now, I can help 👉🏼 link in bio

Happy IBCLC Day 2026 🫶🏽

Being an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant means I’m committed to evidence-based, individualized care for families during one of the most vulnerable seasons of life.

Breastfeeding support should never be one-size-fits-all. It should be specific to your anatomy, your baby, your goals.

You deserve support that truly supports you.

I’m so thankful to be here celebrating another year of serving the Mamas in Waco 🐻💚💛

Tag a Mama who needs this reminder and let her know my door {and schedule} are always open 🫶🏽

+ whatever else is on your mind!

I’m officially back in office so don’t hesitate to reach out! Link in bio if you’re ready to schedule!

It’s okay to ask for help.
You don’t have to be a first time mom.
You don’t even have to wait until you’re struggling!

Breastfeeding is dynamic, emotional, physical and literally happening in real time, every few hours, over and over again.

We were never meant to figure it out on our own.

So thankful to have Molly from support in this post partum season!! {Truthfully I’m thankful for her all the time but that’s a story for another post}

Let lactation support be a part of your plan, not your last resort. Text LATCH @ 254.537.0620 and let us support you today!

It’s called the gastrocolic reflex and it’s actually very common in newborns!

Suckling 👉🏼 stimulates the vagus nerve 👉🏼 tells the intestines food is coming 👉🏼 results in 💩💩💩 either during or shortly after feeds!

When to pay attention {and call your fav RD/IBCLC 🙋🏽‍♀️}
🚩 if baby has poor weight gain
🚩 or is super fussy during feeds
🚩 if there is blood/mucous in the stool

Otherwise.. happy diaper changing 🤪

BF with a toddler around is a whole new skill set level 😅

Things we are doing to keep everyone happy {and safe} during feeds:

👉🏼 feeding in spaces where I can make a barrier between Baby and Big Bro, like the chair with a big blanket around us or the couch with a pillow
👉🏼 closing baby gates/bedroom doors to keep Big Bro out of spaces we don’t want him roaming without supervision
👉🏼 offering cool new toys that Big Bro only gets to play with while Baby is nursing
👉🏼 playing music and letting Big Bro have dance parties

If you’ve unlocked this level tell me what worked for you 👇🏽👇🏽
