โœจ Feeding your baby doesnโ€™t have to feel draining.

As lactation consultants, we want you to know that there is no โ€œone right wayโ€ to feed your baby โ€” but there are ways to make it easier, more comfortable, and more sustainable for you.

Feeding challenges can feel overwhelming, whether itโ€™s sore ni***es, questions about milk supply, pumping struggles, or simply the exhaustion of doing it all day and night. You donโ€™t have to navigate those challenges on your own. Support is here for you.

Our role is to listen, guide, and help you find what works best for your body, your baby, and your family.

Sometimes that looks like adjusting positioning and latch, sometimes itโ€™s finding the right pump fit, and sometimes itโ€™s simply offering reassurance that youโ€™re doing an incredible job.

๐Ÿ’›Remember: caring for yourself is part of caring for your baby. You deserve support, rest, and encouragement along the way.
If feeding feels harder than you expected, reach out.

You are not alone โ€” and together, we can make this journey feel a little lighter.

โœจ We are here for you every step of the way. You donโ€™t have to figure it out alone.

We offer prenatal consults to set you up with a solid foundation before your baby arrivesโ€”but our support doesnโ€™t stop there. Even if we havenโ€™t met you prenatally, our team of 7 IBCLCs works hard to see you as soon as possible when you reach out.

Weโ€™re also proud to have a Speech Language Pathologist on our team to provide extra feeding support when needed.

Because every family deserves timely, compassionate, and personalized care. ๐Ÿ’›

๐Ÿผ How Often Should You Change Your Duckbills?

โœ”๏ธ Every 1โ€“3 months
(or sooner if you notice reduced suction, milk backflow, or visible wear/tear)

Why it matters:

* Duckbills control suction.
* Worn ones can drop milk output.
* Over time, silicone loses elasticity, leading to leaks and less effective pumping.

๐Ÿ’ก Pro tip:
If you pump multiple times a day, you may need to replace them every month for optimal performance.

โœจ Fresh parts = better suction = more efficient sessions.

World Breastfeeding Week is wrapping upโ€ฆ
and I wanted to share my 3 very different feeding journeys ๐Ÿ’—

#1 โ€“ Brynn
Latched right awayโ€ฆ but it was painful.
I kept hearing, โ€œLatch looks greatโ€ and โ€œSheโ€™s just colicky.โ€
She cried day and night.
My husband was away for 6 months for work, so it was just us.
Friends and family saved me.

Known tongue tie, but pedi said it was โ€œfine.โ€
We made it 23 months before she self-weaned.
Mastitis once โ€” awful.
wish I knew what I know now back then!

#2 โ€“ Paige
History repeated โ€” crying, colic oh + blood in stool.
Cut dairy/soyโ€ฆ no change.

Pumped a lot early on and gave bottles because she wouldnโ€™t latch and was so tiny
At 6 months things โ€œgot betterโ€ not really but improved she was latching and not screaming at least
Nursed until 3 years (yes, 3!).

Turns out she had terrible ties too.
Pedi said, โ€œIt will rip on its own.โ€ Thanks.

#3 โ€“ Maeve
Rocky start.
Painful on one side.
Tongue tie released at 2 weeks. Thank you
Triple feeding until she started transferring milk.

Now? Nursing happily, and Iโ€™ll let her wean when ready.
Oh we got a new pedi too!

โ€”

What Iโ€™ve learned:
Every journey is different.
Take it feed by feed.
Give yourself grace ๐Ÿ’›

My older two inspired me to be an Ibclc because after my experiences I knew I wanted to help and support families on their feeding journeys!

โœจ We understand that when it comes to feeding your baby, support canโ€™t wait.

Thatโ€™s why we do our best to see families as soon as possibleโ€”because we truly care. ๐Ÿ’›

This mama reached out needing help with a painful latch, and we were able to move her session up before the holiday weekend so she could start healing and feeding more comfortably.

Our goal is always to leave you feeling more confident, more supported, and never alone in this journey. ๐Ÿ’•

If youโ€™re struggling with feedingโ€”whether itโ€™s breastfeeding, pumping, combo-feeding, or bottle feedingโ€”weโ€™re here to help.
