Myth Monday 💭

It’s a common thought that you have to switch sides every feeding. In reality, you can offer both breasts at each feed and let your baby decide if they want that “dessert.”

Follow your baby’s lead and trust that every nursing session doesn’t have to look the same! 💛

Optimal Fridays 💛

Part 2 of our 4 part series is all about prenatal lactation visits.
Meeting with an LC before baby arrives can ease so many worries and help you feel prepared. We’ll take time to answer your questions, look at what might make breastfeeding easier for you, and lay the groundwork for a strong start.

It’s all about making sure you feel supported from day one!

When we bump into a client out in public and neither of us can quite remember names… but we definitely remember the important details.

LC life means we get to be part of some of the most personal moments. Thanks for trusting us, awkward encounters and all! 💛
