A lot of her child eating behaviour starts with our expectations as a parent. If you expect that your child isn’t going to eat something and maybe you verbalize that then they will trust and believe you. But what if you went in with an open mind and expected that they are willing to try something new and they might even love it!

That’s why one of my biggest tips to parents is LET YOUR CHILD SURPRISE YOU!!! 💥💥💥

➡️What food did you offer your child and was surprised by how much they liked it? Let me know in the comments!

My Starting Solids & Infant CPR class is coming up:
🗓️ April 29th in Whitby
🗓️ June 6th in Ajax

✨You will learn how to raise an intuitive eater who will try new things! ✨

Best laugh 🤣🤣🤣 an unfortunate one too.

For context - I’ve supported this mom for her previous children who also had a tongue tie. It is very common that siblings will all have tongue ties, it is usually genetic. So this mom already had suspicions her newborn baby would have feeding struggles due to oral restrictions.

It is A HUGE MYTH that if your baby can stick out their tongue, they don’t have a tongue tie. ❌

During my oral assessment, this sweet babe could stick out her tongue but she also had an EXTREMELY sensitive gag reflex. She could barely suck on my finger without gagging and spitting up the entire time which is a huge red flag 🚩

Latching was painful too! 🚩

This 4th time mama just needed some confirmation of her own suspicions and direction on next steps. That’s why it is SO IMPORTANT to have a proper functional oral assessment. Until doctors get updated and thorough training on oral assessments, trust your gut and get a proper feeding consultation! 🩷

Breast, Bottle, Pump, REPEAT. 10 times a day. Hours upon hours. 🫠🫠🫠

Moms are AMAZING. I have met so many moms who are willing to work hard to feed their baby! Many new parents are sent home with plans to triple feeding with no time limit or way to stop. No one follows up or checks in. Days turn into weeks and weeks turn into months. Something that is meant to be a short term temporary solution becomes the new normal. 😩🤯

It’s. Not. Sustainable.

I can get you out. Let’s make a plan - something sustainable and realistic. So that you can get out there and enjoy life with your new baby! 🥰

I have helped SO MANY families go from triple feeding to meeting their feeding goals - whether that is exclusively breastfeeding or pumping or bottle feeding. Whatever your goal is, I’m here for you 🩷

It’s important to validate the struggles when it comes to breastfeeding… but we need to also take more time to celebrate the WINS, the Pros, the Benefits, the Joys, the Convenience of Breastfeeding 🥳

Expecting mamas and new mamas need to hear that it’s WONDERFUL and WORTH IT! It’s worth hiring a lactation counsellor to get support. It’s worth taking your baby to bodywork for body tension to improve latch. It’s worth it 🩷

I know so many mamas working so hard to feed their baby well, I see you, I see how dedicated and determined you are 🥹 every latch and every drop is a win! 👏🏼
