✨ Hear from parents who joined our Infant Massage class ✨

Every family comes in with curiosity and leaves with more confidence, connection, and tools for soothing their baby. Here’s what they had to say:

➡️ “Our baby loves leg and foot massage during bath time. We feel more comfortable reading our baby’s cues.”
➡️ “I learned how to ease my baby’s stress and crying episodes.”
➡️ “I feel closer to my baby and more comfortable touching him.”
➡️ “Massage is a great bonding experience with my newborn, increasing my confidence in handling my baby (especially important as a first-time parent). My baby shows signs of relaxing during and after massage, and massage has also helped with tummy issues.”

💛 Infant massage is more than just touch—it’s a way to bond, help with sleep, ease tummy troubles, and build confidence as a parent.

🗓️ Our next 5-week series begins October 11 – November 8

✨ Better Sleep Through Infant Massage

Did you know that gentle infant massage isn’t just bonding—it’s science-backed care for your baby?

📖 Research shows:

🩷Babies who receive daily massage fall asleep faster, sleep longer, and wake less during the night

🩵Massage supports deeper relaxation by improving blood flow and lowering stress hormones

💜Parents in clinical studies reported that massage routines helped regulate their baby’s sleep-wake cycles within just a few weeks

💤 Why this matters:
Sleep isn’t just rest—it’s growth, brain development, and emotional regulation. By weaving in nurturing touch, you’re helping your baby’s body and mind find calm.

💛 When you massage your baby, you’re not just easing gas or fussiness—you’re giving them the tools for healthier sleep patterns and supporting your own confidence as a parent.

Let’s talk about mom/new parent guilt.

You planned to breast or chestfeed—but your supply didn’t come in.
You nursed and or pumped around the clock—but your baby still needed formula.
You’ve done everything—and still feel like it’s not enough.

That heavy feeling? It’s guilt. And we want you to know something:
Guilt is a normal emotion. It doesn’t mean you’ve failed—it means you care deeply.

Here’s what we say in our consults:
🌱 It’s okay to grieve what you imagined.
🌟 You’ve done nothing wrong.
🧡 Formula feeding can be the right answer.
💪 You are doing an incredible job.

We can work together to reach your goals. Whether that’s bringing your baby back to breast/chest, building your supply, or just feeling peace with where you are—we’re here for all of it.

You’re allowed to feel guilty. You’re also allowed to let that guilt go.

🎙️ “It’s not a competition—it’s a way to grow together as a new family.” 💥

That’s what Michelle Fassell, IBCLC told a pregnant parent who was terrified their partner would feel jealous of their baby breastfeeding.

We talked about intimacy, identity, and how sharing your body doesn’t mean losing yourself. It was one of the most meaningful convos.

Michelle joined Purvi and Karen from on their most recent podcast. In this podcast episode, we go there. 💬

➡ Real postpartum chaos
➡ What to ask the hospital LC
➡ Pumping without losing your mind
➡ The truth about galactagogues
➡ Why triple feeding is not a lifestyle
➡ How to tandem nurse twins (without everyone crying)
…and more.
