It is world breastfeeding week-a time to celebrate breastfeeding (in any amount and in any form) in a world that poses so many barriers, which includes predatory formula marketing.
Formula marketing on social media actively undermines breastfeeding, harms parents, and harms infants. It’s time to take action and call it out.
Remember that calling for the accountability of systems whose primary function is to profit off of breastfeeding “failure,” does not equate negative judgement of the mothers who have needed or chosen to use human milk substitutes. This is about protecting the choice to breastfeed and the right to breastfeed without the influence of exploitive marketing.

It’s been a slow, nourishing kind of summer.
Less online, more outside.
More time noticing—how the garden grows, how quickly childhood moves, how much I needed a quieter rhythm.

I’ve stepped back from social media, but not from the work. I’m still here—supporting mothers, holding space, offering lactation care and gentle guidance. Just in a way that honours the season I’m in, too.

If you’re feeling the pull to slow down… you’re not alone.
If you’re in the thick of it… you’re not alone.
You’re doing enough. You are enough.
And I’ll be here when you need support.

It’s time to stop assuming that something is wrong with our bodies making it “unresponsive” and instead turn our attention to how we can make pumps work effectively FOR us.
It doesn’t have to be confusing! My class, “What you need to know about pumping” is available on demand and gives you clarity on how to choose the most effective pump for your needs and get more milk!

I’m curious to know what you think of Medela no longer selling feeding bottles and teats?

This is just an instagram trend but the truth is I would say these things to anyone because I respect you enough to know you can handle information that might be different than what you’ve heard somewhere else.
Always keeping it real with you, which you deserve 🩷
Love,

Risks of human milk substitutes are often dismissed or understated in high-resource countries, but a new systematic review re-affirms that there are very real risks (yes, “even” in a countries with healthcare and guaranteed access to sanitary preparation) that need to be considered for full informed consent. Protect breastfeeding everywhere.

Does breastfeeding really matter to babies’ health in high-resource countries like the US & UK? Yes concluded a brand-new 2025 systematic review. Babies who don’t receive human milk are at increased risk for childhood leukemia, SIDS, ear infections, GI infections, lower respiratory infections, and a host of others.

And before you know it, the stretches of sleep become longer.
The nursing sessions become shorter.
As your little one starts to take their steps, become more confident, and discover who they are…
So do you.
