We want to know! As IBCLCs, our favorite advice is to encourage you to listen to your gut. If you tell us you think baby is struggling with something, even if you’ve already been dismissed by the pediatrician or another provider, we know we need to listen and help. You know your baby best. ❤️

Upgrade your clog care!

Before you come at us, the only study on sunflower lecithin "unsticking fats" involved adding it to the milk of tube fed babies so the milk fat didn't stick to the tubing. That isn't how human bodies work! Your milk ducts aren't made of PVC.

You need techniques that really work, not social media trends. We're hosting a free virtual workshop on 3/17 to talk about all things mammary health. Watch for the sign up in our stories.

The answer is C - Snack Pumps!

Frequent milk expression is the BEST way to have a great supply and perfect fat content. Even hand expression after feeding works! Scheduled feedings, long overnight stretches, block feeding, and sleep training all drive the fat content down.

Sunflower lecithin doesn't increase fat or make it less sticky. That's a myth. You're not making skim milk. You don't have to load up on certain foods so your milk is "good enough". You're doing great!

Share this with a friend to let them know they're doing a great job.

Everyone deserves feeding support.

If you're not planning to nurse your baby, you should still be prepared for how to feed them! You'll still need to care for yourself since your body will make milk regardless. Focusing on responsive feeding, good oral function, a healthy gut, safe formula prep, and avoiding predatory marketing can set you up for a successful feeding journey. If you're struggling, we can help!

Save this if you're pregnant and not planning on nursing.

A good sleep professional will tell you to work on feeding difficulties because they know that the difficulty with eating or whatever is causing the difficulty with eating is often the problem with sleep. Even if it’s not the only factor, you’re going to be limited on what you can do while those feeding issues continue.

Baby gets really tired and can’t get more than 2 oz at a time? That baby would have to eat 12-15x a day to get enough. They’re going to need to eat really frequently, including overnight. Sleep longer stretches overnight and now it’s just harder for them to get enough in a day. Maybe a sleep professional does help you get longer stretches of sleep, but in this case we’d see milk supply decrease and possibly worse weight gain in infant. When we help them eat better and increase how much they can eat at a time, we often see sleep for the whole family improve.

Maybe they can get plenty of milk and don’t need to eat 15x a day, but they’re getting so much air with feedings while gulping, clicking, leaking milk. So much discomfort ends up making it difficult to fall asleep and stay asleep normal lengths of time.

These are just a couple examples that we see frequently with clients. We get it, we’ve been sleep deprived parents ourselves that would have been willing to stand on one leg and jump around the room if it meant everyone got good sleep 😵‍💫. This isn’t to shame any parent trying to sleep, but to call out any sleep professional who doesn’t tell you how important it is to work on feeding issues first.. And to try to save you money ;)

Don't let these tank your supply!

You'll see them all over social media but they can hurt, not help.

There is not a single study that exists to show sunflower lecithin helps with clogs, milk supply, or making milk "creamier". There is evidence to show that high doses of emulsifiers cause GI irritation, which can actually lead to more clogs over time! It's a good dietary source of choline, which you do need during lactation, so find a better source and skip this one.

Fenugreek is a really old school milk booster recommendation. It messes with thyroid hormones, which we want to be nice and stable during lactation. It's a sneaky ingredient in a lot of teas and supplements for milk supply so read those labels.

Placenta encapsulation is advertised to cure everything from postpartum depression to low milk supply. It's an expensive addition to your birth plan and guess what. The people selling you the service don't mention the risks. Delivering the placenta is actually what triggers your milk to transition from colostrum. Introducing those hormones back into your body in the first 6wks can keep your supply low and put you at risk of blood clots.

Any questions about other milk boosters? Leave them in the comments.
