Finding the Right Feeding Routine for Your Baby

Should you feed on demand or follow a schedule? It’s one of the most common questions parents ask — and the answer isn’t one-size-fits-all. Every baby (and every family) is different.

In our latest blog, we break down on-demand vs. scheduled feeding, including:
• The benefits of each approach
• How feeding routines can evolve over time
• Tips for navigating frequent feeds without burnout

✨ The goal isn’t perfection — it’s finding what works best for you and your baby.

After much consideration, we want to share an important update with our community.

Beginning January 17, 2026, the San Diego Breastfeeding Center will no longer be able to accept Tricare insurance. This was a very difficult decision, driven by ongoing contract challenges and significant reductions in reimbursement rates that are no longer sustainable for our small business. While our commitment to supporting military families remains strong, these changes make it impossible for us to continue offering care under the Tricare contract.

It has been a true honor to support our local military families over the past 10 years. We are deeply grateful for the trust you have placed in our team and for allowing us to walk alongside you during such meaningful seasons of your lives.

If you are a current Tricare client at SDBFC and would like to schedule a follow-up visit, we encourage you to book an appointment on or before January 16, 2026.

Our team is here to support you through this transition and is available to answer questions about scheduling, private-pay options, or referrals.

Thank you for your understanding and for being part of the SDBFC community. 🤍

With appreciation,
Robin Kaplan
Owner and Founder, SDBFC

When we think about lactation, we usually focus on the chest/breasts — but your liver plays a huge role in milk production. 🌿

This powerhouse organ helps regulate hormones (including insulin), which directly influence your supply. When your liver is overwhelmed or not functioning optimally, you may notice challenges with milk production.

The good news? Supporting your liver doesn’t have to be complicated. Here are 3 simple steps you can start today:
1️⃣ Nourish with low-carb, high-fiber meals
Fill your plate with non-starchy veggies and fiber-rich foods to support hormone balance and reduce inflammation. 🥦🥑
2️⃣ Move your body
Gentle activities like walking, stretching, or yoga can help your liver work more efficiently — and support your milk supply. 🧘‍♀️🚶‍♀️
3️⃣ Add liver-supportive herbs
Herbs such as milk thistle, turmeric, and artichoke extract may help promote detoxification and hormonal balance. 🌿✨

Your liver supports your whole body — and when it’s functioning well, your lactation journey often feels more supported, too.

If you’d like personalized guidance, Robin offers Functional Nutrition Counseling to help you understand the root causes of milk supply challenges and create a plan that fits your life.
