THE LATCH

What’s the deal with a good latch? Why does it matter so much? Quick break down ⬇️

1) NO pain! This is a pretty good reason. You will feel a pulling or tugging but not a pinch or a pain with a nice deep latch.

2) Sends the right amount of signals to the moms brain to release lots of hormones to produce enough milk. A deep latch can REALLY impact milk supply 🧠🥛

3) Drains the breast easier, baby gets a full belly

Deep latch ➡️
more milk➡️
fuller belly➡️
happy baby➡️
no pain➡️ happy mom🤱

If the latch isn’t right, don’t suffer. Work with an IBCLC to help you get that deep latch you and your baby deserve 💙💗

🤱🌿 The Beauty of Design: Queen Anne’s Lace & the Lactating Breast 🌿🤱

When we look closely at nature, we often find patterns that mirror the human body. This Queen Anne’s Lace flower is a perfect example!

Just as the flower has a central stem with delicate clusters branching outward, the lactating breast is designed with a central ni**le connected to branching ducts. At the ends of those ducts are tiny sacs called alveoli, where breastmilk is produced and stored. When a baby nurses, the ducts carry milk outward — much like the radiating pattern of this flower’s blossoms.

This is both beautiful and functional, reminding us that the process of making and delivering milk to a baby is not only purposeful but also elegant and fascinating! 🪷🤱

Nature repeats itself in incredible ways, and the similarity between this flower and the human breast highlights just how connected we are to nature 🌿

💡 Did you know?

Moms of babies born smaller or larger than average naturally make colostrum that’s richer in protein 💪. And moms of larger babies also produce colostrum with more natural milk sugars for extra energy 🍃.

Your body really does tailor milk to your baby’s needs! 💛

Take a look at the study below that was conducted to analyze colostrum produced by mothers with small and large babies 👶

It’s amazing how our bodies change the contents of milk to help our babies adapt better to life!

Colostrum macronutrient content varies depending on whether the birthweight is small or large for gestational age. Studies are needed to investigate these potential associations and the clinical consequences of this relationship.

✨When providers connect, families thrive!✨

✨ Even though we each run our own businesses, it’s so special when professionals like doulas, chiropractors, and lactation consultants come together to support the same families ✨

✨ This photo features just one amazing team I’ve had the pleasure of connecting with—I’m lucky to collaborate with many skilled doulas and chiropractors in our community who all play an important role in postpartum care! ✨

When we work together, families benefit from:

💖 More support
🌿 Smoother healing
🧠 Better-informed decisions
💪 And a greater sense of confidence

Jessica from Happy Mama place 👇

"I support families from pregnancy through postpartum—helping them prepare their body, mind, and baby for birth. I weave together prenatal bodywork, childbirth education, and doula care so parents feel calm, confident, and cared for every step of the way."

Dr Tiffany Webb from Webb Chiropractic 👇

“Gentle chiropractic care releases tension on the spine which allows baby to thrive! This includes better digestion, stronger latch, longer stretches of sleep, and improves brain development and milestones! Tension in the jaw, tongue, neck, or upper back can impact feeding leading to issues like shallow latch, gassiness, reflux, or breast discomfort. This gentle works makes a huge difference for mom and baby”

✨Whether it’s feeding challenges, body tension, emotional support, or just needing a listening ear—having a circle of care can make all the difference.✨

So here’s a little glimpse of the kind of collaboration that helps lift families up. I’m so grateful for all the birth workers and wellness pros out there doing this work every day! 💫

✨Did you know your breastmilk changes throughout a feeding to meet your baby’s needs?! 🤱✨

✨At the beginning of a feed, your milk is more watery and thirst-quenching — perfect for hydrating your little one. As the feed continues, the milk becomes creamier and richer in fat, helping your baby feel full and satisfied💧➡️🥛

✨Your body is amazing — it knows exactly what your baby needs, and delivers it in real time. 💕 Just one more reason why breastfeeding is so incredible!

🎥 If you’re wondering why my hands are doing their own performance in this video… it’s because I can’t talk without them! 😂

But seriously—when it comes to breastfeeding, learning before baby arrives can make a world of difference. Prenatal breastfeeding education isn’t just about milk and magic (although there’s some of that too 😉)… it’s about understanding how to latch, how to hold your baby, and how to feel confident feeding from day one.

In this clip, I’m explaining a common breastfeeding position and how good positioning can help you and baby find your groove.

💡 Spoiler alert: There’s no one “right” position to hold your baby—just the way that works best for you both!

I offer prenatal breastfeeding classes that are hands-on, informative, and judgment-free. Whether you’re planning to exclusively breastfeed, combo feed, or are just curious about what to expect—I’ve got you.

Let’s take the mystery (and stress) out of those early newborn days 💛
