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 volume 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 continued to increase and regulate, and then at one month it never increases again.

No two feedings are the same- just as no two babies are either.

And…during holidays or family gatherings, you may hear comments like, ‘They’re eating again?’ Often it simply comes from not understanding how normal responsive feeding is. It’s more than okay to smile, shrug it off, and keep following your baby’s cues. You’re doing exactly what your baby needs—even when others don’t fully understand it.

The holiday season can be a joyful time, but it can also bring extra stress, especially for new parents and those navigating perinatal mental health challenges.

It’s important to prioritize your mental well-being, even amid the hustle and bustle.

✨Take time to set boundaries.
✨Ask for support when you need it.
✨Give yourself grace.
✨You choose who holds the baby, do not feel obligated to pass the baby around.

The holidays don’t have to be perfect- what matters most is that you and your family are healthy and present.

Remember, it’s okay to say not to certain obligations, take breaks when you need them, and lean on your loved ones.

Your mental health should always come first, and it’s okay to adjust traditions or expectations to care for yourself and your family.

Your well-being is just as important as any holiday celebration.

Physiologic newborn care is simple but powerful—keeping baby close, following their cues, and trusting that frequent feeding and contact are normal. When we understand what babies truly need, our expectations shift, and the whole journey feels a little gentler.

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.
