You all asked us to keep these coming each month, so here we go for July!

You don't need fancy baby food , just what's in season, soft, and safe! Here in Arkansas, July brings us the best for baby-led weaning:

🫐 Blackberries (antioxidants & fiber)
🍈 Cantaloupe (vitamin A & hydration)
🍒 Cherries (vitamin C & antioxidants)
🫑 Bell Peppers (vitamin C & folate)
🍅 Tomatoes (lycopene & vitamin C)

These foods aren't just yummy, they're rich in vitamins, full of texture, and easy for little hands to explore.

Curious how to prep these safely for your baby's age? Drop a comment or DM. We’re always happy to help!

Is anyone growing a garden or picking fruits at a farm this year?👩🏽‍🌾

Breastfeeding is more than a physical act, it’s emotional, hormonal, and deeply personal.

In the postpartum season, your body is navigating major shifts: oxytocin and prolactin surge to support milk production and bonding, but at the same time, estrogen and progesterone plummet after birth. That hormonal rollercoaster? It’s real, and it can impact your mental health in ways you didn’t expect.

If you're feeling anxious, disconnected, touched out, or overwhelmed, please know that you're not alone, and you’re not doing anything wrong!

Support is available, and there are so many ways to start feeling more like yourself again. Therapy, medication, support groups, safe conversations with trusted providers, it all counts. 🫶🏽

At Arkansas Lactation, we’re here to support you, not just your baby. Our postpartum counselor offers compassionate care for parents navigating anxiety, baby blues, depression, or the mental load of this transition. Whether you need a listening ear or help finding the right resources, we’re here to walk with you. Check out our website for how to connect with her or any of our team.

Between hormone shifts, less movement, stress, and sleep deprivation, it’s no wonder things slow down 🤷🏼‍♀️

Two simple factors can make a big difference:
🥦 Fiber — helps the gut maintain stool regularity
💧 Fluids — help fiber do its job

Together? They’re your gut’s best friends.

✔️ Add in fiber-rich snacks (think oats, berries, chia, lentils, veggies when you can!) paired with protein/fat
✔️ Keep a big water bottle within reach, especially if you’re breastfeeding. Did you know breastfeeding requires around 100-120 ounces? That’s 3-4 of most popular bottles (Stanley, Yeti, Brúmate, Hydrojug, Owala, etc). Fluid needs increase with the summer or exercise.
✔️ Warm drinks, soups, and smoothies count too

You deserve to feel good, not just keep everyone else fed.

Need help supporting your body through postpartum recovery and feeding? Our dietitians support babies and moms, from constipation to nutrition to real-life meal ideas.

You don’t have to figure it all out alone!
