Jaw. Dropped. Scary stuff when a medical professional who parents are encouraged to trust, says this.

Lauren Sloan with The Early Neurodiversity Company has been speaking up and speaking out against what this Pediatrician has been saying. (Dr Mona Amin, known by 1.7M Instagram followers as PedsDocTalk)

I’m honored to have been asked to join the voices of clarity and reason and happy to reveal my name. No hiding here.

Please share and speak out if you’re comfortable. We have to join forces to make sure to keep mothers and babies safe.

Holidays are so different when your babies are adults. This is me enjoying going down memory lane. Ziah was 4. Tevan was 9. Luna was 7.

I miss their anticipation, the magic around the holidays (and yes they believed), and the surprise that always painted their faces.

I’m trying to embrace this change, hopefully a transition before some Gbabies will bring back all of these things for me.

Hug and love on those littles of yours. Even tho they’ll always be your babies, when they grow up, it is wild change that you could never prepare for.

Emily Crady Shepard writes an article and her intro:

“The newborn witching hour can make any mom feel like she's doing something wrong. But often, nothing is wrong at all.
(Emily shares how) weeks of evening fussiness led to a powerful reminder in the article from a lactation expert (ME!) Summer Jade Friedmann Done Naturally Lactation Co.

“Babies don't need fixing.
They need connection.
Skin-to-skin.
Babywearing.
Feeding on demand.
Sometimes the answer is simply showing up, again and again.”

Happy IBCLC Day!

It all started with my first in 2002, when I received horrible care from an IBCLC in the NICU. That can’t be the kind of support women have available, I thought. I went on to have a wonderful breastfeeding experience with my son despite her neglect and negligence.

The fire had been ignited in me and I pivoted my entire career. I had to be a part of the solution for women. I couldn’t ignore it.

Four years later I became an accredited La Leche League Leader, providing phone/email support and leading support groups for families in the community.

Four more years later I passed my board exam for IBCLC and started in the hospitals providing care in Labor/Delivery, Postpartum and NICU units.

Ten years later I started a YouTube channel and left the hospital. Focusing on my private practice, I began seeing families in their homes and doing video calls all over the world! (most recently Bulgaria!)

I have been so lucky to be surrounded by really incredible healthcare professionals who have shaped me into the IBCLC I am today.

I treasure all of my families. You trust me with your precious hearts, time and babes. Working with you brings me the most joy. I know some of you have seen those tears well up in my eyes. 🥹

I can’t say it enough … how fun it is to see you grow as a family; grow as a mother and father, have more children, bigger kids, teens and even some college bound. It’s. The. Best.

These gorgeous faces are only a few of the many beautiful faces I’ve worked with over the last 20 years.

Thank you for bringing me into your lives and thank you to that awful IBCLC… she sparked a really good thing. 😘

This is my Luna Raye. Just turned 21. My only blue eyed son. My only blonde. So far the tallest of my 3 princes, closer to 6’5 than 6’4. My first baby born underwater with a swift 3 hour + 25 minute labor. Nursed through my pregnancy with my next son, and tandem with his baby bro, weaning around 3.25 years.

He’ll be a Senior at KU in the Fall, a leader in his fraternity and honor roll recipient. His first accounting internship starts this Summer that he nailed with his major proactive & bold skills. This boy that thinks ahead and has carefully curated plans years out.

Where did my little tow-head, chubby cheeked, climbing trees boy go? He’s still in there. 🥹 Just hidden in that grown man body and mind.

It’s a surreal thing, this phase of motherhood I’m in. Working with you mamas, your stories, journeys and tribulations are still so similar and freshly in my mind as my own … but how can it have been that long ago? How is my oldest, Tevan, almost the age (24), the same age I was when I was pregnant for the first time?!!!

Happy Birthday Moon. 🌙 You are a bright light in this world and everyone you touch sparkles. I love you Moon Beam.

Celebrating these warriors!

They often suffer in silence.

They may feel quietly uncomfortable as they see others posting about their successes, having reached or even surpassed their goals.

They have fought thru tears, joys and challenges and the very layered emotions that come along.
They may have made the decision to stop, it may have been a series of events leading to that decision or something in their life (medical, social or emotional) triggered the process of ending.

These women need to be celebrated, honored and heard!

They deserve a platform to share their story. So here I am giving them a HUGE HUG and letting them know I hear you, I support you, honor you and celebrate you and your journey.

You have a very special corner in my heart.

What is Done Naturally

Done Naturally encompasses how many things should be, in Summer’s eyes. And often done a lot simpler and easier than our society makes people believe. Done Naturally was founded by Summer in April 2004. Working as a (now former) Childbirth Teacher in The Bradley Method of Natural Childbirth, she worked with hundreds of families over her 14 years of teaching. She is an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant with over 10 years experience of working in hospitals in the NICU, Postpartum, and Labor/Delivery as their primary Lactation Consultant. Summer has also been a Accredited La Leche League Leader since 2006. Summer is a passionate advocate for families, and an expert in pregnancy, childbirth, lactation and parenting. Have 3 teen children herself, and also another teen step-son, she is surrounded by activity. She is an active speaker, and vlogger on YouTube, where she records videos for families on topics surrounded her expertise. She believes this is a great way for families today to have access to accurate information and be able to support them in their home, even in the dark hours of night. Summer’s private practice is where she is able to give individual attention, meeting moms in their homes, for any lactation needs, speaking on the phone, or video for needs that are appropriate and to connect with women outside of the KC area. Anyone can contact her for personal needs, including in-home consults, phone or video consults, prenatal breastfeeding classes or other specific needs.

Here you’ll find her YouTube vlogs, posted new each week, and also find supportive information.

Join her Done Naturally Group to be surrounded by a group of people that are there for supporting you in your parenting journey, and become a part of the active discussions, and have Summer’s listening ear, always standing by.
