Struggling with latch? Just lay back!

Biological nurturing, also called the laid-back hold, uses gravity and your baby's natural instincts to help them find the breast on their own. It takes the pressure off you to "do it perfectly" and lets your body do what it was made to do.

Our lactation consultant demonstrates how to recline comfortably and position baby so feeding feels natural and relaxed for both of you.

Had a C-section? This hold is about to be your best friend.

The football hold keeps baby tucked under your arm and away from your incision — making it ideal after a C-section. It's also a game-changer for moms with larger breasts or smaller babies who need extra support.

Watch our lactation consultant show you the exact positioning so feeding feels comfortable.

Which holds have you tried? Drop it in the comments.

New mom tip: this hold gives you the most control over baby's latch.

The cross cradle hold is one of the best positions for the early days of breastfeeding. Your opposite arm supports baby's head, giving you full control to guide a deep, comfortable latch.

Our lactation consultant walks you through exactly how to position your hands, your baby, and your body.

One of the most common questions we get is:
“Is this service covered by my insurance?”

Here’s the honest answer from our billing team 👇
✅ The best thing you can do is call your insurance provider before your appointment.
✅ Ask them directly about coverage, deductibles, and any out-of-pocket costs.
✅ Every plan is different, even with the same insurance company!

Need help figuring out what questions to ask your insurance? Give us a call!

A good, deep latch makes ALL the difference for comfortable feeding and plenty of milk transfer!

Our IBCLC breaks it down with puppets so you can see exactly what to look for:
✅ Baby’s mouth wide open (like a big yawn)
✅ Chin touching the breast first, nose free to breathe
✅ Lips flanged out like a fish (not tucked in)

A shallow latch (just on the ni**le) often leads to sore ni**les and poor milk flow. A deep, effective latch = happier baby, less pain, and better supply.

We'll be posting more tips for new and expecting moms. Tag a new mom who needs this or save it for later.

"POV: Your tongue deserves a morning wake-up call too 👅
Therapist tip that’s blowing up right now:
Gently brush the sides + top of your tongue (not just the middle).
Why it helps:
✅ Stimulates nerves & gets blood flow going
✅ Wakes up tongue muscles for better coordination & tone
✅ Supports overall oral awareness and even nervous system benefits
It might feel odd at first, but consistency pays off. Keep it gentle — your tongue isn’t a carpet!
Try this 10-second ritual tomorrow morning. Who’s adding it to their routine? 👇

3 reasons to see a myofunctional therapist. Save this one. 👇

✨1. Tired of waking up exhausted every single morning?
Myofunctional therapy targets the exact muscle groups that keep the airway open at night, reducing or in many cases, eliminating snoring without medication or devices.

✨2. Dry mouth. Bad breath. Tooth decay. Gum disease. All from breathing through your mouth.
Your mouth was never meant to be your primary airway. When it is, your oral health pays the price. Myofunctional therapy retrains the muscles and habits that keep your lips together and your nose doing the job it was designed for.

✨3. That jaw pain you've been ignoring? It has a root cause.
Chronic jaw discomfort, clicking, and tension are often connected to how the tongue, lips, and surrounding muscles function at rest and during daily activities. When those muscles are out of balance the jaw pays the price. Addressing the muscle patterns is often the missing piece.
