Most parents are surprised to learn that your doctor, nurse, or midwife isn’t trained to solve infant feeding problems. They care deeply, but their role is to look at the whole picture of your health and only a bit feeding.

That’s where I come in. As an IBCLC, lactation is all I do. I have the highest level of training in infant feeding, and I give you the time and attention you simply can’t get in a short check-up.

Yes, private lactation care is an investment. But here’s what families tell me:

✨ It saved them weeks of stress, gaining clarity in just one visit.
✨ It cost less than trial-and-error on bottles, pumps, and formula.
✨ It gave them confidence and peace of mind they couldn’t find anywhere else.

You don’t have to figure this out on your own.

Home and virtual appointments available. Clinic appointments coming soon!

🤔 Ever feel like something’s just off with your baby’s feeding, but you can’t quite put your finger on it?

Sometimes the clues show up in ways you never expected:

👉 One shoulder higher than the other (could be torticollis)
👉 A little jaw asymmetry from pressure during pregnancy or birth
👉 A white patch on the tongue (pseudo-leukoplakia) that hints the tongue isn’t lifting well

The hard part is that most providers aren’t trained to spot these subtle signs. That’s why starting early with an IBCLC can make such a difference. 💛

Because long-term breastfeeding success isn’t only about weight gain or sore ni***es. It’s about making sure baby can feed comfortably and effectively.

You don’t have to guess what’s going on. If something feels off, trust that feeling and reach out for expert support with Pamela.

Listen, EVERY feed is a full feed.

The idea of “full feedings” didn’t come from lactation science, it was made up by sleep trainers as a way to sell programs and make money off your misery. And it’s leaving parents stressed, second-guessing their baby, and even harming milk supply (and sometimes breast health).

Breast milk fluctuates in fat levels throughout the day and is quickly digested. Plus, babies don’t eat by the clock or in neat, predictable patterns. Some feeds are longer, some are shorter. Some are closer together, others more spaced out. That’s normal, healthy, human biology.

When we pressure parents to “get full feedings,” we risk skipping hunger cues, pushing babies beyond their natural rhythms, and creating unnecessary worry and stress.

Instead of chasing a myth, look for the signs that actually matter:

✔️ A baby who relaxes and lets go on their own
✔️ Enough wet & dirty diapers
✔️ Steady growth over time

💛 Every feed counts.Every feed is “full”.

If you’ve been told otherwise and it’s left you stressed or doubting yourself, I’m here to help you sort through the confusion.

📉 Feeling like your milk suddenly dropped around 6-12 weeks?
It's actually normal.

Swipe 👉 to learn how supply & demand works AND why that early engorgement phase doesn’t last forever.

✨In the first weeks, your body is getting milk production started based mostly on hormones and less on baby’s actual needs. That’s why things can feel intense.

💧Around 6–12 weeks, your body shifts gears and starts making milk based on REMOVAL.

🍼 This is why consistent feeding or pumping is KEY. Less removal = less production.

‼️It’s not a supply drop. It’s regulation. Your body’s just getting more efficient.

No more rock-hard b***s doesn’t mean you’re losing your milk, it means your body is doing its amazing job. 💪

🔖 Save this post for when the panic hits, and share with a friend who needs the reminder.
