🌙 Night Feeds Are Hard… and Important 🌙

Did you know?
Breastfeeding at night helps:
🍼 Regulate your baby’s circadian rhythm.
💤 Increase milk supply thanks to higher prolactin levels.
🤱 Strengthen the bond with your baby in the stillness.

You’re not “just feeding."
You’re doing sacred work in the dark.
Tired? Yes. But also deeply, beautifully connected. 💕

The behind-the-scenes of lactation support isn’t always picture perfect—but it’s always full of heart. 💗

Some days I’m sitting in a rocking chair, holding space.

Some days I’m washing pump parts between texts from worried mamas.
Some days I’m in tears with a client because she finally had a pain-free latch.

It’s early mornings, late nights, and in-between moments that matter.

Being an IBCLC isn’t just a job—it’s walking with women in one of the rawest, realest seasons of life.

So here’s a little peek into my day: full of love, coffee, compassion, and cracked ni***es (usually not mine). ☕🍼

Thanks for trusting me to be part of your story. 💕

What’s In My Pump Bag? 💼🍼

Pumping away from home can feel like moving out for the weekend—even if it’s just for a few hours. Here's what I never leave home without:

✅ Flanges
✅ Bottles/milk storage bags
✅ Hand pump backup
✅ Nursing pads
✅ Cooler & ice pack
✅ Wipes for quick clean-ups
✅ Ni**le balm
✅ A clean shirt (because… yeah)
✅ SNACKS + WATER
✅ Encouragement from other mamas 💕

Whether you’re an exclusive pumper or pumping part-time, you deserve to feel confident and equipped.

Breastfeeding hunger is real. Like… bottomless brunch every 3 hours real 😅

Today’s snack situation!

Feeding a baby = feeding yourself too.
So tell me:

💬 What’s your favorite one-handed, low-effort snack when you’re cluster feeding or pumping?

Bonus points if it’s messy, weird, or kinda genius 👇

Did someone tell you that “your milk isn’t enough”?

Let’s bust that myth. 👊

Your milk is powerful, dynamic, and designed just for your baby.
Most of the time, low milk supply isn’t about your body!
It’s about support, info, and confidence. 💪

You’re not failing and you're NOT alone.

Feeding Fact Friday: Cluster Feeding ≠ Low Supply!

One of the most common concerns I hear from new parents is:
"My baby wants to nurse all the time, do I have low milk supply?"

💡 Truth bomb: Frequent nursing doesn't always mean your milk supply is low.
In fact, it's often a sign that your baby is doing exactly what they should!

This behavior is called cluster feeding, and it’s your baby’s natural way of:
✨ Increasing your milk supply.
✨ Comforting themselves during a developmental leap.
✨ Preparing for a longer stretch of sleep (especially in the evenings!)

It can feel exhausting. Physically and emotionally.
You’re not doing anything wrong, and your baby isn’t “using you as a pacifier.” They’re using you as their mother. 💗

If you’re unsure about what’s normal or worried your baby isn’t getting enough milk, I’m here to help you figure it out without judgment and with a whole lot of support.

I have openings for in-office or virtual consults at our Lactation Clinic, The Mothers Den!
Let’s talk about latch, supply, and anything else that’s been weighing on you.

Some weeks, it’s not about big milestones. It’s about the small victories:
✨ Latching without tears.
✨ Getting through a cluster feed.
✨ Asking for help when it’s hard to admit you need it.
Whether you’re pumping, nursing, combo-feeding, or still figuring it all out, every step forward matters.

As an IBCLC, I’m here to remind you that you don’t need to do this alone.
Breastfeeding is natural, but it’s also a learned skill for both you and your baby.

🌿 This Feel-Good Friday, I just want to say:
You are enough. You’re doing hard work. And I’m here whenever you need a little guidance, encouragement, or just someone to say “you’ve got this.”

📩 Reach out to book your support session, I’d love to walk this journey with you.

We cover realistic expectations for baby's behavior, milk supply, and how to know when to reach out for help.

🚫 MYTH: You have to wean your baby if you’re prescribed medication.
✅ TRUTH: Most medications are actually safe to take while breastfeeding!
In fact, abruptly stopping breastfeeding can be more harmful than the medication itself in many cases. The problem is, many providers just aren’t trained in lactation and may give outdated or overly cautious advice.

That's where we come in. 🙋‍♀️

As IBCLCs, we have access to up-to-date, evidence-based resources like LactMed and InfantRisk, where we can look up your specific medication and give you clear guidance on what’s truly safe.

✨ If you’ve been told to stop nursing due to meds, please reach out.
We can walk you through the risks, benefits, and better alternatives so you can make an informed decision that feels right for you and your baby.

💻 Book a consult today.
We’re here to support your breastfeeding journey, not scare you away from it.
