This is just one of the many surprising facts parents always find fascinating!

One major fear I hear often is "Will I even make make when my baby is born? Will the milk be there?"

⚠️Spoiler alert: It is already there, and you may not even know it!

💧Not everyone leaks milk during pregnancy, but it doesn't mean the milk is not there! Leaking or not, it has no bearing on future milk production.

As a new parent, this is one less thing you need to worry about.

👋 The MOST asked question by parents everywhere:

"How do I know my baby is getting enough milk?"
Hi, my name is Jennifer and I am a Registered Nurse, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (the gold standard of lactation support 💛) and a mom to 3 breastfed kiddos. I know exactly what you are going through and I've helped thousands of families just like yours confidently reach their breastfeeding goals.

💾 SAVE this post for later, when you have the urge to Google, "How do I know my baby is getting enough?"

I get it — our breasts don’t come with measuring lines. And in a world that constantly tells us to track, count, and measure everything, learning to trust our bodies and our babies feels unfamiliar… even scary.

But here's the truth: that trust can be built.
With time. With intention. With the right support.

As an IBCLC who has supported thousands of families, I can help you confidently recognize when your baby’s hunger and fullness cues change, what’s normal at every stage, and how many wet and soiled diapers to expect as they grow.

What I offer goes beyond generic apps and one-size-fits-all advice. Your baby is unique — and when it comes to lactation, there is a range of normal.

👀Behind the scenes peek at my workspace 💻

Whether I’m meeting you in your home or teaching a virtual class, I’m always reaching for a prop to demonstrate breastfeeding techniques. From latching to positioning to pumping or hand expression - my hands (and tools!) do a lot of the talking.

Group class? You’ll see a crocheted mouth, breast models, bottles, and pumps.

Virtual session? I’m bringing all the visuals right to your screen so nothing gets lost in translation.

Because when you're learning something this personal, seeing it in action makes all the difference.

Let’s be real — most families aren’t dealing with just one breastfeeding issue.

There’s always more nuance, more layers, more real life happening.

As an IBCLC, I don’t support blanket statements or “one size fits all” advice that dismisses parents' lived experiences and limits their options.

What I do support:
✨ Informed decision making

🤝 Shared decision making

🔄 Flexible options — breastfeeding isn’t all or nothing

🧠 Education about normal newborn behaviors

🩺 Awareness of therapy and treatment options

🎯 Working toward your personal goals
Because support should look like care, not pressure.

Did you know heatwaves can mess with your hormones, especially when you're breastfeeding? 😓🔥

If you’ve been feeling more anxious, overwhelmed, or touched out lately… it might not just be the baby, it could be the heat.

🌡️ High temps raise cortisol (your stress hormone)

💦 You lose more fluids + electrolytes, which can make you feel wired and tired

😴 Poor sleep from overheating throws off emotional regulation

And breastfeeding? It already raises your body temp, so you’re getting double heat stress.

This can all affect your mood, your milk flow, and your ability to cope.

✨ Take this as your reminder to:

🧊 Stay cool

💧 Hydrate with electrolytes (not just water!)

🛁 Try a magnesium bath

🧘🏽‍♀️ And rest — your body is doing so much.

You’re not alone, and this feeling will pass.

"Is my baby getting enough milk?"

It's one of the most common worries new parents have—and you're not alone.

From cluster feeding to sleepy feeds, it can be hard to tell what's normal.

✨ Let’s break down the signs that your baby is getting enough—and when it’s time to reach out for support.

You don’t have to figure this out alone. I’m here to guide you 💛

👋Breastfeeding is inherently political.

Not because the act itself is political—but because the systems surrounding it are.

When mothers are forced to choose between feeding their babies and returning to work too soon...

When formula companies profit from crises and push aggressive marketing in vulnerable communities...

When access to lactation support is a privilege, not a right...

When rest, nourishment, and healing are not guaranteed after birth...

✊️Then every latch becomes an act of resistance.

A refusal to surrender to a system that was never built with us in mind.

This poem is a reminder:
We are not just feeding babies.
We are reclaiming wisdom.
Restoring what was broken.
Rebuilding our villages—one mother, one story, one latch at a time.

💩 Let’s talk baby p**p.

It’s not just a diaper thing—it’s a data thing. 👀

The color, consistency, and even the lack of p**p can tell us so much about how breastfeeding is going.

➡️ Is baby getting enough?
➡️ Are there latch or transfer issues?
➡️ Is milk intake efficient?
➡️ Is baby having enough p**p?

Yellow + seedy? Normal.
Green + frothy? Could be a sign of foremilk imbalance or milk transfer issues.
Mucus or streaks? Might mean gut irritation or food sensitivity.
Not p**ping at all? Let's look at intake.
📸 I know it’s awkward, but those p**p pics help guide care—and you are not alone in sending them!

🩵 Trust your gut—and baby’s! If something seems off, we can take a look together.

Do I Take Insurance?

The answer? Nope.
But here's the Plot Twist… 💁🏽‍♀️
...before you sigh and scroll away, let me tell you why that’s actually a good thing.

💡 When I don’t bill insurance directly, it means:
✔️ You get longer, more personalized visits
✔️ No chasing claims or decoding fine print
✔️ No surprise bills or awkward copays

✨ Instead, you get real support when you need it most. No cut corners. No red tape.

BUT WAIT—there’s more!
I do provide a superbill (aka: an insurance-friendly receipt) that many insurance companies will reimburse for.

🎉 And because I’m also a Registered Nurse, that extra credential can make it even easier for some insurance plans to say "yes!". Think of it as the “clinical credibility combo” working in your favor.

So:
📌 You pay me directly
📌 I give you everything you need to submit for reimbursement
📌 You send it to your insurance
📌 💰 You may get partial or full reimbursement

Feeding your baby shouldn’t come with financial gymnastics. I’m here to make it smoother—for both of you.

One thing all my clients say is, "I wish I would have found you sooner." Stop wasting time on all the gadgets, products and books, invest in what really matters...YOU and YOUR BABY!

➡️Ready to book or want help submitting your superbill?

Slide into my DMs—I’m happy to help! 💌

Latched Eternal Lactation Consulting

Hey everyone! So I did a thing 😅 For those of you that know me you are probably thinking "uh finally, I thought you've already BEEN doing this." Yes, to a certain extent I have been but now I am taking it to the next level. 🤗 If you know me you probably know me as "that one that is always talking about breastfeeding". Yep that's me. Lactation enthusiast, breastfeeding advocate, lactavist, baby whisperer. We go by many names but as a Lactation Consultant we all have one fundamental goal. Protect, promote, and support breastfeeding. Meeting people wherever they are along their breastfeeding journey and helping them meet their personal goals.

I started my Lactation journey when I had my first baby, I struggled through sore ni***es, painful latch, engorgement, oversupply, breastfeeding an early term infant, breastfeeding after a c-section (3 times!), poor weight gain in my newborn and lack of support. My biggest support at the time was my pediatrician. I know what everyone is thinking, who is this pediatrician and where can I get one like her!? Sadly, she has since retired but I'll always remember the support I received with my first baby. I never knew about any lactation resources available in my community. I became pregnant with my second child at 8 months postpartum and about 4-5 months after having him I found La Leche League and those peer to peer meetings changed my life forever. I wanted to help women who were struggling through the same things in struggled with at the beginning of my breastfeeding journey. So, I became a LLL leader and later an IBCLC, I transitioned from being a floor nurse on the mother/baby unit to working as a hospital based lactation consultant. Today, I am proud to tell you I am also a PRIVATE PRACTICE IBCLC!❤🤱

"Latched Eternal Lactation Consulting" exemplifies my philosophy regarding breastfeeding. I know what many of you may be thinking, "she is one of those lactation consultants that wants me to breastfeed my child until they are 5 years old". If that's what works for you, you are amazing! But Latched Eternal doesn't mean that I expect any woman to breastfeed for any prescribed amount of time. All babies eventually wean as nature intended them to and the age of weaning varies drastically from one baby to another. Our breastfeeding journeys and stories stay with us long after our children have weaned. I remember listening to a lecture on lactation and got chills when the researchers talked about some interviews that they had conducted with elderly women with dementia. The women couldn't remember their child's name but they could tell you about their birth and breastfeeding experience with that child in great detail. Even long after our children wean, those memories stay with us forever. The knowledge and experience we gained through that journey overflows into future generations and is carried on throughout time. After our children wean, those memories are latched eternally in our minds and in our hearts. My goal with my private practice is to expand lactation support in my community, provide education to EMPOWER others to reach their goals despite various seemingly insurmountable barriers and create a platform to share stories, advocate for each other and provide support throughout your journey.
