This is one of the more frequent questions I get asked, and it’s so valid! It doesn’t seem to make sense as to how a newborn bay can carry so much tension. They are brand new! BUT you would’ve surprised how often the birth story, digestive system, oral tethering can cause the body to tense up! Not to mention babies are growing at a rapid pace! So if there is any tethering ( tongue ties are connected all the way to the toes) a collagenous fiber it’s like pulling a string in a snagged sweater. One side will become tight or off. Then throw is a swaddle that pins arms to the side for long periods of time or worse a baby in the snoo and that tension ca become worse! If the baby has reflux or colic (if you had ever had heartburn you get it) can cause tensions throughout the body. So important to listen to your baby’s cues and get bodywork done to help.

The hips don’t lie! This fussy little man was not having it. So we put him close to momma, and used a little acupressure massage to instantly calm him. And just like that this sweet guy was fast asleep!! Sometimes all it takes is listening to the body, finding the tension, and moving with the baby to help calm an overstimulated nervous system

Let’s talk about the biggest lie we as moms tell ourselves!! Mom guilt is the worst!! And most the time it isn’t even true! Guilt comes from a place of doing something wrong, NOT from something we can not control. Yet, we spend hours beating ourselves up overthinking about the what ifs, or the “ should” have moments. Don’t should on yourself! Instead, grieve what was lost, the dream, and then show yourself GRACE!!

When the daughter of the b***y fairy is a vet tech, and her cat willingly stays in the guppy pose for close to 30 min, you have to capture it! So proud .marie.29 ***yfairy

Sometimes as a lactation consultant you have to get creative with how to demonstrate certain techniques, with virtual appointments.Not me using my daughter’s cat goose to demonstrate how to calm and burp a baby. Thanks for the assist buddy!! ***yfairy .marie.29

The amount of moms I meet who just assume that breastfeeding is supposed to hurt and they just need to tough it out… oh ladies….that is so not true! Breastfeeding should never hurt but it is common! The pain is not normal it just means that something needs to be adjusted and that is what an IBCLC lactation consultant !! Don’t wait until there is scabs and bleeding. We can help!! You can absolutely feed your baby with no pain and confidence sometimes it just takes a little B***y Fairy dust to give you the tools to make this journey better! ***yfairy
