Many parents we work with really focus on how long their baby feeds at each side. If baby doesn’t feed for the same amount of time on each breast, the parent sometimes worries about their supply or baby’s intake. We’re here to tell you that every breast or chest feeding session can be a little different.

Giving baby access to both sides is the best way to go, but remember that they may not feed the same duration on both sides. Some babies may even seem satisfied after feeding on one side!

Think of the first side as “dinner.” Just like us when we eat dinner, we will clean our plate. This translates to baby taking most of the milk from this breast. Once your baby shows signs of finishing their “dinner,” you can switch them to the second side.

Consider it the “dessert” side: just as we (are supposed to) eat a little bit of dessert, it’s likely your baby will have a shorter feed on this side. They may only spend a few minutes here and do not take a lot of milk from this side. At the next feeding, start baby on the “dessert” side to help give breasts equal stimulation.

Please note that this is general advice. It may not apply to every nursing dyad; please reach out to a lactation support person or IBCLC for care specific to your situation.

Hello friends, this is a reminder to please vote for us, Sunayana Weber + the It’s More Than Milk team, in the Best in Birth Austin Awards. We are up for the title of Best Lactation Consultant!

A little over three years ago, I took a leap by (re)starting It’s More Than Milk. The last three years have forced me to learn a lot about running a heart-centered business, and working through imposter syndrome. I’ve stayed busy and even expanded: we’ve taken on a second student, added a new office location in Round Rock, and have really strengthened my .

We would be very grateful if you took a moment to visit https://form.typeform.com/to/FF9VPjW9 (linked in bio) to vote for Sunayana Weber + the It’s More Than Milk team for Best Lactation Consultant (category 10).

Nervous about making milk for your baby? Our Cuddle and Flow Prenatal Prep class will be held in person on Sunday, October 12th at Austin Doula Care’s office. Feel more confident about feeding your baby right after birth.

This small group class is intended for expectant parents, whether it is for your first baby or your fourth baby. You’ll be introduced to key concepts crucial to help you have a long-term healthy milk supply. Connect with an IBCLC before your baby arrives.

We love reviews like this one. After working with several lactation consultants, this mom came to see It’s More Than Milk and turned her journey around!

This is one of the most frequently asked questions I get during prenatal and postpartum visits. While the decision to have a drink while making milk is a very personal one, it’s important to know the pros and cons to make the best decision for your family.

I am thrilled to announce that It’s More Than Milk is growing again: please join me in welcoming Kim Borchert as our newest lactation student!

Kim has spent 10 years as a birth and postpartum doula, and as the co-founder and co-owner of Austin Doula Care. There, she teaches Birthing from Within childbirth classes and facilitates a postpartum support group. She has worked closely with the It’s More Than Milk team for years, and is looking forward to learning and growing under their mentorship. She is enrolled in University of California at San Diego’s Lactation Consultant program.

As a lactation student, Kim will be joining the team as an observer and will eventually start to get hands on under supervision over time. While Kim’s presence at visits is not mandatory, seeing a wide variety of cases will contribute to her education greatly. We hope families welcome her calm presence and gentle guidance.

Please join me in welcoming Kim to the It’s More Than Milk team and leave her some love in the comments!

Sometimes it feels like we’re bombarded by images of parents and babies peacefully nursing in a field, or those freezers that are chock full of milk. What we don’t often see is all the hard work that the pair went through to get through that point. For most people, nursing and pumping does become effortless at some point. However the focus should include the journey to get to that point, not only the destination of easy and effortless feeding.

Explaining to people that breastfeeding, chestfeeding, and pumping often comes with a learning curve is key. While it’s one of the most natural things on earth, it doesn’t come naturally to many people. You’re learning, your baby is learning, and even if you’ve done this before, you’re both learning to work together. Breast and chest feeding are natural like walking, not natural like breathing. It is a skill that requires practice and support.

What surprised you the most about feeding your baby? Tell me in the comments.

Let’s Talk About Weaning

Weaning is often very bittersweet. While most people are excited for the next phase of parenting, some mourn or feel guilty about the end of this time in their life. It’s typically a mix of emotions.

Here are some common reasons that parents will want to wean and stop milk supply:
- PAIN (this is a big one)
- They’ve reached their lactation goals
- Baby has severe food sensitivities and intolerances
- Low milk supply
- Lack of support
- Parent’s health concerns
- Because they want to

A couple of things to note (because I can already foresee the comments):
- Many parents continue to offer their baby the milk they’re making and use donor milk or formula to fill in the gaps. Making milk is not all or nothing, and this is a hill I will die on!
- Many families seek out expert lactation support to address pain, low milk supply, and other reasons.
- Food sensitivities can often be controlled by maternal diet, though it is sometimes trial and error.

Regardless of why a parent chooses to wean and stop lactating, they should be provided with compassionate evidence-based support to safely stop making milk. Parents should also be given strategies to help work through the emotional and hormonal changes that can come along with weaning.

There is no wrong way to feel about the end of your milk making journey. If you’ve weaned, please share how it made you feel in the comments. If you’re still making milk, drop your questions below.

Ready to wean? We can help. Head to itsmorethanmilk.com for all the details.
