💗 Happy International Self-Care Day 💗

Let’s get one thing straight:

SELF CARE IS NOT
🧼 a quick shower while the baby cries
🍽️ eating leftovers over the sink
😴 a nap with one eye open
🧹 cleaning the house “because it helps you relax”
🙃 surviving on caffeine and vibes

That’s survival, not self-care. 🫠

✨ Real self-care is giving yourself permission
To pause.
To breathe.
To not be afraid to ask— for help, for time away, for what you need,

even when it feels hard. 🤍

Taking care of your mental health makes you a better mom—not a selfish one. 💞

You deserve rest, joy, and moments that are just for you.

You are doing amazing—and you deserve support that helps you feel that, too. 🌸

💥❌ Momentum's Monthly Myth-Buster is BACK! 💥❌

Let’s talk about a BIG one: Waking Up to Pump.

We hear this all the time 👉🏾:
- “If I don’t wake up to pump every few hours, won’t it hurt my supply?”
- "I wake up in the middle of the night super full and uncomfortable so I have to pump because baby is sleeping still."


Mamas, your body is amazing — and it's allowed to rest. 😴💕 💤

Read on to bust this myth and reclaim your sleep with confidence! 💪🏽✨

Every breastfeeding journey has its speed bumps — moments that feel challenging but aren’t the end of the road.

At Momentum Lactation, we see these moments as opportunities to walk alongside families with empathy, knowledge, and encouragement.

We feel deeply privileged to support women during such a unique and vulnerable season of life — a time of immense change, strength, and love.

Together, we move moms forward.

It’s not just birthing parents who can struggle after baby arrives — dads experience postpartum depression too... many more face anxiety, overwhelm, or isolation as they adjust to life with a new baby.

Dads and partners are often overlooked in the postpartum period, but their mental health matters — for their own well-being and for the whole family.

🧠✨ Support is available!

🔎 Health Awareness Check In:

While babies are born with the instincts and reflexes needed to feed, they don’t always have the coordination to achieve a deep, effective latch right away — especially in the early days when breastfeeding is mother-led.

The type and length of your delivery, as well as any interventions used, can influence how well your baby’s reflexes work and how you feel physically and emotionally during feeding.

None of this is your fault — and you're not alone. 💛

Getting support early can make a big difference in your comfort, milk supply, and overall experience. We support motherbaby from day 1 of life and beyond.

🤱 We’re here to help with gentle, evidence-based care for you and your baby.

Our Story

Momentum Lactation was founded in 2017 with the goal of providing greater access to breastfeeding support in the Edwardsville and St. Louis Metro Area. Alisa worked in the community in a hospital setting for many years and realized that many Mothers needed more support and information after they leave the hospital to be successful on their breastfeeding journey. With decades of experience supporting and educating new mothers through various modalities, and an expert in clinical lactation, she founded Momentum Lactation to include needed access and support missing in the hospital and community.

Alisa works with physicians and other care providers in the community and has built a strong referral network in the area for a variety of breastfeeding and post partum issues and support.

Families can now receive office, home or virtual visits in the early days at home, as well as a community of other moms in our monthly Breastfeeding Mom’s Meet Ups. Common types of issues addressed include, low milk supply, painful latch, baby weight loss, pediatrician concerns related to feeding or growth, getting a back to work plan and just managing the breastfeeding routine and lifestyle. Most clinical consults are covered by insurance. We look forward to serving you to help you meet your breastfeeding goals along your personal journey.
