As a lactation consultant, I am here to support you throughout your entire breastfeeding journey.

The more frequently you empty your breasts, the more milk youโ€™ll make!

The more frequently you empty your breasts, the more milk youโ€™ll make!

Have you been told to space out feedings or stick to a strict schedule instead of following your babyโ€™s hunger cues? That approach can sometimes lead to low milk supply and poor weight gain.

Every parent has a unique milk storage capacity, and every baby has their own feeding pattern and needs. Feeding responsively - watching your baby, not the clock - helps protect your supply and supports healthy growth.

[Image of a nursing couplet. Text reads, "Myth: You should space your feedings so that your breasts have time to refill. Fact: The emptier the breast the faster the body makes milk to replace it; the fuller the breast the more production of milk slows down. If you consistently wait until your breasts "fill up" before nursing, your body may get the message that it is making too much and may reduce total production." The LLL USA logo is in lower right corner.]

Did you know that birth doulas work in a variety of settings? Not just home births, contrary to popular belief!

Birth doulas adapt to each environment while providing the same continuous care, comfort, and reassurance throughout labor, whether that be at home, in birthing center, or a hospital.๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿฝ

Their support isnโ€™t tied to a location; itโ€™s centered on the needs and desires of the family.

As part of our February series, โ€˜Birth Support, Explained,โ€™ we went back to basics on what birth doula support is; thank you for following along with us.๐Ÿ’œ

What else would you like to know about birth doulas?๐Ÿ’ญ

โ€œMedicines used for anaesthesia and pain relief pass into breastmilk in very tiny amounts. For almost all these medicines, there is no evidence of harm to breastfed babies. Parents do not need to throw away their breastmilk after an operation. The new advice is โ€˜sleep and keepโ€™, meaning to continue breastfeeding after surgery as soon as the patient feels ready.โ€

Download and save these 2026 guidelines for the use of anesthesia in breastfeeding mothers. The amazing support these guidelines reflect for lactation signals weโ€™ve definitely come a long way.

The BABES Enhancement Act has been signed into law! The new law directs the TSA to adopt enforceable guidance โ€” and conduct audits โ€” for the safe, hygienic handling of breastmilk, formula, and baby food during air travel. This is an important step toward making airports more family-friendly and supporting infant feeding on the go. Read more here: http://bit.ly/3KcAxnj
