🌿 At A Mother’s Village, one of the most meaningful parts of reading through a new client intake form is seeing how families find their way to us.

It’s always an honor when a former client refers a friend or loved one, it tells us that your experience was valuable enough to share. Equally powerful, though, are the referrals from those who may have never worked with us directly, sometimes even individuals who don’t have children themselves, but who trust the quality of care we provide and want their community cared for with compassion.

Every single referral, whether from a client I’ve supported or a community member who believes in our mission, is a reminder of the trust and connection that make this work so special. 💜

✨ If you’ve ever felt supported by A Mother’s Village, one of the best ways to help us continue serving families is by leaving a kind review on Facebook AND Google. Reviews not only help families find the support they need, but they also give them the confidence that compassionate, evidence-based care is available right here in Bowling Green.

Thank you for continuing to share, support, and spread the word. Your voices truly make a difference. 🌸

✨ Quick Fixes Aren’t Real ✨

We live in a world that loves instant results. One adjustment, one trick, one magic product.

But when it comes to feeding, healing, and babies, quick fixes don’t work.

✔️ Tongue ties aren’t “fixed” with a clip alone.
✔️ Oversupply isn’t solved by pumping less one day.
✔️ Breast or bottle struggles don’t disappear with a new position overnight.

These challenges are complex, layered, and unique to your family. They require time, consistency, and support, not band-aid solutions.

If you’ve been told “just do this one thing” and felt discouraged when it didn’t work, please hear this: you are not failing. The problem is that the quick fix doesn’t exist.

The real fix?
💛 Step-by-step progress.
💛 Evidence-based care.
💛 Ongoing guidance.
💛 Patience and persistence.

Your journey deserves more than a shortcut. Let’s build sustainable solutions together.

Labor Day reminds us that none of us were meant to do hard work alone.

The work of feeding and nurturing a baby is easier, and more joyful, with support. 💛

This holiday, we're grateful for every family who has trusted us to be part of their village. And we're here to remind you: you don’t have to do this work by yourself.

🤎 Black Breastfeeding Week 2025 — Closing Day

As we close out Black Breastfeeding Week, I want to take a moment to celebrate the resilience, strength, and love of Black mothers, babies, and families. This week has been about truth-telling, about barriers, inequities, and history, but also about reclaiming joy, pride, and power in the feeding journey.

✨ To every Black family: Your stories matter. Your babies matter. Your health matters. Your voices deserve to be heard and honored, not just this week, but every single day.

Let’s keep the momentum going beyond this week, working together to ensure that every family has access to equitable, compassionate, and affirming care.

Here’s to honoring the past, uplifting the present, and building a future of true feeding equity.

🤎 Black Breastfeeding Week 2025 — Daily Spotlight

Did you know that during slavery, Black women were often forced to serve as wet nurses for white families, sometimes while their own babies went hungry?

This cruel practice left behind deep generational trauma, shaping how breastfeeding is viewed in many Black communities.
Understanding this history is essential. Black mothers today are reclaiming their power to breastfeed on their own terms, for their own babies, with pride and resilience.

✨ Honoring Black Breastfeeding Week means not only celebrating families today, but also acknowledging the painful history that brought us here, and committing to equity in maternal care.

🤎 Black Breastfeeding Week 2025 — Daily Spotlight

By 3 months, only 58% of Black infants are still receiving breast milk, compared to 73% of white infants.

This is not about lack of dedication; it’s about unequal access to support, work protections, and community resources. Every mother deserves the chance to feed as long as she wants to, with support at every step. We must close the gap.

🤎 Black Breastfeeding Week 2025 — Daily Spotlight

Black women in the U.S. are 3 to 4 times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than white women. In 2021, the rate was nearly 70 deaths per 100,000 live births.

Most of these deaths are preventable. They are rooted in systemic racism, bias in healthcare, and unequal access to high-quality care. Every family deserves safe, respectful, and equitable maternal healthcare.

Taylor and Travis just said yes to forever. Families deserve to feel that same confidence when choosing their care. 💕

Choose the provider who says no to:
❌ Side hustling into bodywork or surgery
❌ Biased referrals tied to money or hospital politics
❌ Quick fixes without true habilitation

Say yes to providers who empower, collaborate, and put families first. That’s a love story we can get behind. 💌

🤎 Black Breastfeeding Week 2025 — Daily Spotlight

Did you know that only about 74% of Black mothers initiate breastfeeding, compared to 84% overall?
This gap isn’t about willingness. It reflects systemic barriers like lack of support in hospitals, shorter maternity leave, and less access to lactation care.

This sobering data is not about individual choice. It reflects systemic barriers and historical inequities. I stand in solidarity with Black birthing families. You deserve equitable, compassionate, and practical support at every stage. I am committed to listening, learning, and supporting you in person or virtually, from anywhere.

🤎 Black Breastfeeding Week 2025

This week (August 25–31) we celebrate Black Breastfeeding Week, a time to honor and uplift Black mothers, babies, and families.

Breastfeeding is beautiful and powerful, but it’s not an equal experience for everyone. Black families face unique barriers, from higher rates of maternal and infant mortality to systemic gaps in lactation support.

As a lactation consultant, I believe every family deserves compassionate, evidence-based care, and I am committed to listening, learning, and showing up for Black families in my community and beyond.

✨ To Black mothers: Your feeding journey matters. Your voice matters. Your babies matter. And you deserve support that honors your experiences and goals.
