✨ Wellness, Wiggles & Women Supporting Women

✨ On Saturday, I had the pleasure of attending the Mama Reset. It was such a joy to connect with families and share how I support parents through prenatal and postpartum visits — which are often covered by insurance.

✨ Big thanks to Kyndall from for the sharing your tent with me and of course great conversation. The community energy was amazing — from yoga flows to kids’ laughter and everything in between.

✨ Events like this are such a great reminder that care for mothers and families goes far beyond the clinic. Thank you, for bringing us all together!💜

🌿✨ Deepening Our Roots in Lactation Support ✨

🌟 A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of attending an enriching conference in Knoxville, where a community of passionate lactation professionals gathered to expand our knowledge and skills. Under the expert guidance of Melissa Cole, MS, IBCLC, founder of Luna Lactation & Wellness, we delved into herbal strategies to support lactation and address infant digestive concerns.

🌟 We also explored the critical role of oral function in infant feeding, learning about the assessment and recovery processes for tongue and lip-ties. These insights are invaluable in helping us support families facing feeding challenges, ensuring that both parents and infants receive comprehensive, compassionate care.

🌟 Being surrounded by like-minded professionals reaffirmed the power of collaboration and continuous learning. Together, we are committed to providing holistic, evidence-based support to families in our community, ensuring every parent feels empowered on their feeding journey.

💫 Does Nighttime Breastfeeding Cause Cavities?

👉 Let’s set the record straight: Breastfeeding at night does not cause cavities. But once teeth come in, it’s all about oral hygiene!

Here’s the truth:

Breastmilk alone isn’t the problem.
Cavities come from plaque + sugars (from any source) + time.
Not brushing teeth—especially at bedtime—is the real risk.

Tips to protect tiny teeth:

✨Brush baby’s teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste (just a smear, the size of a grain of rice!)

✨Wipe or brush before bedtime feeds if possible

✨Schedule a dental visit by baby’s first birthday

You don’t need to stop night feeds—just keep brushing in the picture!

Plugged ducts, mastitis…let’s look at the facts. Most mastitis is related to inflammation rather than infection. If only treated with antibiotics often the underlying plugged duct is not addressed and symptoms will continue to worsen.

Best practices include: application of cold packs after feeding/pumping, lymphatic breast massage, rest, fluids, and working with a professional who can give guidance on adequate milk removal to resolve the plugs.

And yes there are times when antibiotics are necessary especially if symptoms do not continue to improve with treatment. It just may not be the first option in all cases.
