They say your baby is “using you.”
As if comfort is manipulation.
As if closeness is a flaw.
Pacifiers didn’t come first.
Mothers did.
Sucking, comfort, regulation, connection —
that’s biology, not bad habits.
If this makes someone uncomfortable,
good. It should.
👇 Tell me
What’s the worst thing someone said to you about breastfeeding?

Breastfeeding doesn’t happen every 3 hours
because babies aren’t machines.
Newborns cluster feed to
• regulate milk supply
• calm their nervous system
• support rapid growth
• survive
So when someone says
“Didn’t you just feed them?”
Yes.
And I’m feeding them again.
Because biology doesn’t care
what makes other people uncomfortable.
Breastfeeding is not a schedule.
It’s a conversation between a baby and a body.
💬 Be honest
how many times did someone question how often you fed your baby?

Some of you are watching the Superbowl (or halftime show). While some of you are running a different kind of play!

The football hold gets its name because your baby is tucked under your arm at your side, like a player carrying the ball. Instead of touchdowns, you get:
~milk transfer
~a deeper latch
~relief while healing from a c-section
~a practical way to feed twins
~a better angle if you want to see what’s happening

If you need someone to cheer you on or offer some QB plays, LLLC Leaders are here to help!

National Pump Day 🍼✨

Building a freezer stash, pumping just enough, or pumping for peace of mind — it all counts.

Thank you to every pumping mom who lets us be a small part of her journey 🤍

Breastmilk is uniquely designed for your baby’s body and is digested more quickly than formula because it’s perfectly matched to a human infant’s developing gut. It contains enzymes like lipase and amylase that actively help break it down, making it easier to absorb and gentler on the stomach. Faster digestion means babies get hungry sooner and need to nurse more often, not because your milk isn’t enough, but because it’s doing exactly what it’s meant to do. Frequent feeds are a sign of normal biology, not a problem to fix. 🤱
