In the early weeks, baby needs every drop you make—using a Haaka too soon can do more harm than good.

Overuse can lead to oversupply, which increases the risk of breast inflammation, clogged ducts, or even inflammatory mastitis. It can also create a cycle of depending on the pump, which comes with its own issues.

✅ A better approach:
✨ wait until baby is back to birth weight
✨ supply is regulated (usually around 1 month),
✨ feeding is going smoothly.
✨ use after baby nurses both sides, as a true manual pump

Remember, mama—your milk is for your baby first, and freezer second. ✨ 💡

New moms often worry that their baby isn’t getting what they need because they want to return to the breast frequently.

In the first month, babies are learning what hungry and full feels like, and how to fill their tummies up.

Their intake volumes varies every feeding depending how hungry they are. Each time they latch, they’re getting exactly what they need, as breastmilk is bioavailable and constantly adjusting to meet their specific growth, hydration, and immunity needs.

You can expect them to clusterfeed weekly as your supply continues to increase and regulate, and then at one month it never increases again.

No two feedings are teh same - just as no two babies are either!

If you have concerns about feeding, nothing beats individualized support! Book now!

So many moms have told me lately—“I just wish I had more connection with other moms who understand.” 💛

That’s exactly why I’m starting a postpartum support group.
Our first gathering will focus on identity shifts in motherhood—because becoming a mom changes everything, and it’s okay to grieve your old self while learning who you are now.

If you’ve been craving connection, community, and a safe space to talk about the real side of parenthood… this is for you. ✨

📅 Saturday, September 6
🕙 10am–12pm
📍 502 West State Street, O’Fallon, IL
(inside Harmony Health + Home Birth)
