Breastmilk Fact #3:

Breast milk can actually change color! It might appear blue, yellow, pink, or even green depending on your diet, hydration, or if colostrum is present in the early days.

Breastmilk Fact #2:

Breast milk contains live cells, including stem cells, which may help with a baby’s growth and development—and are being studied for their healing potential!

🌎💛 Happy World Breastfeeding Week! 💛🌎

We celebrated in the most beautiful way—with our breastfeeding photoshoot event in partnership with the amazing photographer Jacinta Lagos 📸 Each participating family received a free breastfeeding photo to honor their journey—and together, we created something truly powerful.

We also collected a HUGE donation for Milwaukee Diaper Mission, giving back to local families in need 🙌 And the highlight? A 27-mama strong Big Latch On—a moment of connection, strength, and community that gave us all chills. 💪🤱

Thank you to everyone who came, donated, nursed, and supported. This is what community looks like. 💛

Breastfeeding Fact #1:

Breast milk changes its composition in real-time to meet your baby’s needs—even during a single feeding! For example, it can become more watery to quench thirst or fattier to satisfy hunger.

🌎🤱 Happy World Breastfeeding Week! 🌿

Celebrated every year from August 1–7, World Breastfeeding Week began in 1992 through the World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action (WABA) to raise awareness and promote support for breastfeeding globally. It honors the life-sustaining power of human milk and the families who nourish their babies with love and intention.

This week, we celebrate ALL the ways babies are fed—at the breast, chest, and with expressed milk. To the pumping parents putting in the time, effort, and heart behind the scenes—you are incredible. 💪🍼💛

🍼👶 Let’s talk bottles + pacifiers — IBCLC style!

Not all ni***es are created equal, and when it comes to protecting breastfeeding, choosing the right bottle or pacifier can make a big difference. 💡

Our IBCLCs recommend options that:
✔️ Support a deeper latch
✔️ Encourage oral development
✔️ Help reduce flow preference
✔️ Flow more like the breast

Every baby is different — and we’re here to help you find what works best for yours! 💕

Need help choosing the best bottle or pacifier for your little one? Let’s chat!

"My daughter and I have been working with Wisco Lactation for a few months and would recommend them a million times! We’ve worked with different consultants: Jasmine, Molly, and Beth, as well as with their OT, Julia. My daughter started our breastfeeding journey having to rely on a ni**le shield. Through Wisco’s advice, we were able to remove the shield through repositioning and strengthening exercises. My daughter, however, began to fall off of her growth curve and was pretty fussy. After examining her mouth, Jasmine and Beth suspected she may have tongue and lip ties, restricting her ability to pull milk out. They provided us with exercises we could do, suggested supplementing with pumped breastmilk, and gave us dentist recommendations. After it was confirmed by the dentist and we had the ties released, we continued to meet with Beth and began follow up work with Julia. My daughter is 6 1/2 weeks post-procedure and is thriving! She is back on a growth curve, is much happier in general, and breastfeeding is much more comfortable. We truthfully would have given up months ago had I not sought out the help of Wisco. The consultants and Julia are truly wonderful and their knowledge is invaluable!"

"I am only on my second session with Wisco Lactation, and I just wish I did it sooner. My twins are three months and we’ve been struggling a little bit with latch and weight gain. Upon my Lactation visit, we learned that the babes aren’t extremely efficient and there were some factors that played in that we’re not in favor for my babes. We are slowly, but surely working on the concerns, my babes are gaining weight and are happier than they ever have been.

On my first visit I also learned very quickly that I have been using the wrong fl**ge size, I’ve been using the size 24 that was provided by my mom cozy pumps and I was sized I’m actually a 13! Since switching fl**ge size my milk production has increased a significant amount, and pumping is no longer dreadful and painful!!

I truly could not recommend Wisco Lactation enough."

"I first saw Alexiyah after I had three rounds of mastitis in a few weeks. 😫 She provided great, helpful and up to date information on mastitis protocols and helped me find why this kept happening. She helped fit me in a proper fl**ge size (chances are you are NOT the size that comes with your pump!!!!) We then saw her again after my son was refusing bottles. She helped us find a bottle that he would take. It was SO nice that they have bottles to try vs buying a bunch that might not work!! I cannot recommend Alexiyah in the Madison location enough!!"

"What an incredible impact Wisco Lactation has made on my breastfeeding journey. I am a first time mom and was really struggling breastfeeding and needed extra help and support. Wisco Lactation was able to get me an appointment extremely quick which I really appreciated. From my first meeting with Dana I was very impressed with her extensive knowledge and understanding of breastfeeding. Whether it was latching issues, concerns about my milk supply, questions about pumping, you name it, and Dana had an answer. She was empathic, kind, and patient, making me feel supported rather than alone in my struggles. When I felt overwhelmed, she offered practical solutions and reassurance, guiding me through each bump in the road with her expertise. I am eternally grateful to Dana and Ashleigh for the invaluable role they played in my breastfeeding journey. Breastfeeding at first felt like an uphill battle, but with their knowledge and encouragement I was able to learn how to enjoy this journey. What once seemed impossible is now one of my most cherished parts of motherhood. I am so thankful for Wisco Lactation!"

So nursing is going great, you’re getting the hang of things, but you just need to be away from baby for a bit. Maybe it’s back to work time, or date night away, but the baby won’t take a bottle! This is a common call for us, and we’ve got lots of tips to help!
