Prenatal Prep, Simplified 🤍

If you’re looking for prenatal prep that actually helps you feel calm, confident, and supported—this is it.

We’re not here to overwhelm you with information you’ll forget. We’re here to guide you through what truly matters so you and your partner feel prepared, empowered, and ready to meet your baby.

And the support doesn’t stop when your prenatal class ends.

Think of us as your on-call nursing support team for those tender, emotional, and often uncertain early days and weeks after baby arrives. The kind of support that helps you exhale a little, trust yourself more, and feel grounded in what you’re doing.

✨ Here’s how to get started:
• Join our in-person group prenatal class on May 23rd at Bumbleboo in Medicine Hat
• Or book a private 1:1 prenatal class (in-person or virtual via Zoom)

✨ Planning to deliver in Medicine Hat or surrounding area?
Pre-book your breastfeeding support so you have reassurance and expert guidance exactly when you need it most.

If you’re ready to stop the mental overwhelm, the endless scrolling, and the second-guessing—this is where we come in. As fellow moms and nurses, we’re here to offer the kind of support that truly makes a difference 🤍

Comment “PREP” or send us a message and we’ll help you get started.

If you’re dealing with feeding challenges, it can feel overwhelming trying to figure out where to start!

It’s not uncommon for us to meet families who have been working with other professionals for weeks — sometimes even months — and could still greatly benefit from more specialized, tailored feeding support. Skipping the opportunity to work with a feeding specialist can mean missing a key piece of the puzzle.

As feeding specialists with over 2000 hours of clinical breastfeeding experience between us, our role is to assess feeding as a whole — looking at every factor that could be impacting your baby’s feeding journey. From there, we guide you toward the right supports if additional pieces need to be addressed.

You don’t have to guess your way through infant feeding challenges 🤍

We’re here to help you feel confident, supported, and informed every step of the way.

Have questions or feeling unsure about your next steps? Send us a DM or book a free phone call through the link in our bio — we’re always happy to offer clarity and reassurance as you figure out what’s best for your family.

✨ We’re so excited to announce a new service: In-Hospital Breastfeeding Support ✨

We officially have a specialized feeding package available for families who want expert, personalized breastfeeding support right after birth, when feeding is often first established.

The truth is, those first hours and days can matter so much—and having skilled support in the hospital can make a real difference in how confident and supported you feel as you begin your feeding journey.

That’s why we created a package that comes to you, right after delivery.

Why book with us?
Because you deserve support from professionals who understand both the clinical side of infant feeding and the lived experience of breastfeeding.

We are both moms and registered nurses who have personally experienced the ups and downs of breastfeeding, and we also bring specialized feeding training to support you:

✨ Sarah is an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC)
✨ Tia is a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist and IBCLC candidate

This package includes:
✔ 1.5-hour in-hospital breastfeeding support visit
✔ In-home feeding follow-up after discharge
✔ Breastfeeding e-book
✔ Phone and email follow-up support

This is designed to provide hands-on, personalized care both in those early hospital days and once you’re settling in at home.

Investment: $300
May be covered under nursing services through insurance or a Health Spending Account (HSA).

Interested in booking?
Start by visiting the link in our bios. We always begin with a phone call before booking so we can walk you through the package, answer your questions, and make sure you feel informed and confident about the care you’ll receive.

📍Available for families delivering at Medicine Hat Regional Hospital and residing in Medicine Hat or surrounding area.

We’re so excited to offer this support to local families and help more parents begin their breastfeeding journey with expert guidance from day one. 🤍

Feeding your baby isn’t always intuitive! It is so common to feel uncertain as a parent. Having expert support can make a huge difference in the mental load 🤍

So many parents don’t reach out for support because they think:
“I should be able to do this”
“This is probably normal”
“I don’t want to be judged”

But the truth is, feeding is a learned skill for both you and your baby.

Whether you’re navigating breastfeeding, bottle feeding, or a mix of both, you deserve support that feels clear, calm, and personalized.

At our feeding clinic, you’ll work with:
• Sarah, RN, IBCLC
• Tia, RN, CBS (IBCLC Candidate)

We offer:
• Feeding consults (breast or bottle) — $150
• Bottle trial service (bottle included) — $150
• FREE latch assessments
• FREE fl**ge fittings

Our services are often fully covered under nursing benefits or health spending accounts.

And because we know how time-sensitive feeding challenges can feel, our goal is to see you within 1 week of your inquiry.

You don’t have to keep guessing 🤍
We’re here to support you every step of the way!

If your 1 year old isn’t sleeping well… you are so not alone!

This stage can feel tricky, especially if things were feeling manageable and now night wakings, bedtime battles, and disrupted naps have taken over!

At this age, sleep is often impacted by big developmental leaps, shifting nap needs, and sometimes ongoing overnight feeds that can quietly keep sleep cycles from fully linking.

And while some babies do grow out of it, many don’t without a bit of intentional change and support 🥹❤️

The truth? There isn’t always a simple answer, but there can be a way forward that feels more restful and sustainable for your family!

If you’re feeling stuck in this stage, this blog post is for you 🤍

Starting solids can be such an overwhelming milestone, and not always for the reasons you’d expect 🤍

Yes, it can be exciting… but it can also feel confusing, and even inconvenient 😅

If you’ve ever thought:
• “What should I actually be feeding my baby?”
• “How often do they need to eat solids?”
• “Is gagging normal?!”

You are not alone.

The truth is, most families don’t get enough time or support to feel fully prepared for this stage. And it’s a big shift from simply breast or bottle feeding to suddenly carrying the mental load of planning, preparing, and responding to a whole new experience.

And beyond that?
Starting solids is just the beginning of your child’s lifelong relationship with food.

✨ That’s exactly why we created this workshop ✨

Join us for our Starting Solids + Choking + CPR Workshop:
🗓 April 28th, 2026
⏰ 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM
📍 Bumbleboo, Medicine Hat, AB

You’ll leave feeling:
✔ confident in how to start solids
✔ clear on what to feed & when
✔ prepared to handle gagging and choking
✔ trained with hands-on CPR practice

This is about more than just food, it’s about confidence, safety, and supporting your baby every step of the way 🤍

I’m going to say something that might surprise people…

I wish I would have weaned from breastfeeding sooner 🤍

With my firstborn, everything looked like it was going well. He was gaining weight quickly, he was healthy, and I was constantly reassured that things were “going great.”

But behind the scenes, it felt really hard.

I was dealing with an oversupply that I didn’t understand, a baby who was fussy and hard to settle, and I felt completely tied to breastfeeding with no flexibility. As the months went on, I became more and more drained—but I didn’t feel like I had any other option.

I kept thinking, he’ll stop when he’s ready.
But he didn’t… and I didn’t realize I could take an active role in that.

Looking back, I wish I had more education and support around weaning. I wish I had known that it’s okay for breastfeeding to stop working for you, even if your baby is “doing well.”

Weaning can be such an emotional, complicated decision—and it’s one that so many moms feel really alone in.

That’s why I shared my full story on the blog 🤍
Not to discourage breastfeeding, but to open up the conversation around support, options, and maternal wellbeing.

If you’re in a season where breastfeeding isn’t feeling good anymore, you are not alone—and you don’t have to just push through.

✨ You deserve to feel supported
✨ You deserve to have options
✨ You deserve to feel like yourself again

You can read the full post on my website.
And if you’re navigating weaning and don’t know where to start, I’m always here to chat 💬

When your baby suddenly refuses a feed, it can feel stressful, confusing, and honestly… a little defeating — especially when you were counting on that feed before heading out or settling them down. 🤍

As a neonatal RN, Certified Breastfeeding Specialist, and IBCLC candidate, I want you to know — this is something I see all the time… and often, there’s a simple explanation.

Here are 3 common reasons your baby might be rejecting a feed:

1️⃣ They need to p**p
If your baby is squirmy, straining, or bearing down, they may not be able to coordinate feeding at the same time.
Try helping their body relax first:
• Bicycle their legs
• Gentle tummy massage
• A warm cloth on their belly
• A warm bath

2️⃣ They’re overtired
Overtired babies can become really disorganized with feeding and may seem fussy or frustrated at the breast or bottle.
Sometimes a quick 10–15 minute reset nap can make a big difference before trying again.

3️⃣ They’re simply not hungry
Even though we often aim for feeds every 2–3 hours, babies don’t follow a perfect schedule every day.
Some days they’ll feed more often, other days they’ll space things out — and that’s okay.
We can’t force babies to eat — they’ll eat when they’re ready.

If feeding is feeling consistently stressful, confusing, or your baby is frequently rejecting feeds, it might be time for a bit more support.

Sarah and I offer comprehensive feeding assessments at our clinic in Medicine Hat, where we look at the full picture — whether you’re breastfeeding, bottle feeding, or both.

✨ Save this post for later
✨ Share it with a parent who needs reassurance

Because sometimes… nothing is wrong — your baby just needs a little reset 💛
