IBCLCs. Providing evidence based in-home feeding support to families in and around Lincoln, NE.

01/03/2026

The holidays can be full and once they’re over, many parents find themselves feeling a little tired, or unsure about what comes next.

That’s why Lincoln Lactation hosts a free moms’ group every other Saturday as a welcoming space to slow down, connect, and feel less alone after a busy season.

This group is a place to:

✨ Ask feeding questions

✨ Share the highs and the hard parts

✨ Get reassurance from an IBCLC

✨ Do optional weight checks or weighted feeds

✨ Sit with other parents who truly get it

You don’t need to be “struggling” to come.

You don’t need to have it all figured out.

Sometimes you just need a place to land, especially after the holidays.

If this sounds like something you could use right now, we’d love to see you. DM us for details and dates. 🤍

✨ New Year. Same Support. ✨

A new year doesn’t mean you need a new feeding plan, new goals, or more pressure. It can simply mean continued support — steady, evidence-based, and centered on your family.

Whether you’re planning to welcome a newborn, navigating changes in feeding, pumping through winter nights, or still figuring out what works best, we’re still here.

Same compassion.

Same in-home care.

Same commitment to meeting you where you are.

Cold weather adds enough challenges to life with a baby.

Packing up, scraping ice, warming the car, and heading out for a lactation appointment doesn’t need to be one of them.

One of the biggest benefits of in-home lactation care is simple:

You don’t have to go anywhere.

We come to you — where feeding actually happens — so you can stay warm, comfortable, and focused on your baby instead of the weather outside. No bundling up, no rushing, no icy roads.

Whether you’re navigating feeding questions, pumping challenges, or just want reassurance, support can meet you right at your door.

If winter weather is making it harder to get out, in-home or telehealth support may be the right fit. Learn more or book at lincolnlactation.com.

Today, we’re wishing you a Christmas filled with warmth and connection..

Whether today includes nursing between gift openings, pumping during nap time, bottle feeds by twinkle lights, or simply getting through the day one moment at a time…

However you feed.

However you celebrate.

However today unfolds.

We’re honored to support families in Lincoln through every season, and we’re grateful to be part of your village.

Merry Christmas from all of us at Lincoln Lactation. 💜

Today marks the first day of winter ❄️ — a season of slower days, longer nights, and extra layers.

Winter with a baby can feel cozy and grounding… and also isolating, tiring, and intense at times.

Feeding schedules, growth spurts, illness, and cabin fever all tend to show up more this time of year.

As the days get colder, we want you to remember you don’t have to do this season alone. Lactation support can still come to you in your home.

Whether you’re feeding a newborn, pumping through winter nights, or navigating changes in your baby’s needs, we’re here to walk alongside you.

Wishing you warmth, rest, and gentleness as winter begins 🤍
— The Lincoln Lactation team

You may have heard the term “plugged duct” and for years, that’s what we called it. But research has helped us better understand what’s really happening.

What we used to call a plugged duct is now better described as ductal narrowing. It’s a combination of inflammation, swelling (water retention), and milk, not a single “plug” that needs to be forced out.

Why does that matter? Because the way we support it has changed. And advice from even a few years ago may no longer be what’s recommended today.

Current research suggests that aggressive massage, heat, and trying to “push through” can sometimes make inflammation worse. Instead, care is more focused on reducing inflammation, supporting milk removal gently, and protecting breast health.

This is why staying up to date matters and you may need support, even if this isn’t your first baby.

Every feeding journey is different.

Every body responds differently.

And lactation science continues to evolve.

If you’re dealing with breast pain or inflammation, an IBCLC can help you make sense of it with up-to-date, evidence-based support.

We offer in-home and telehealth visits for families in Lincoln. Learn more or book at lincolnlactation.com.

The holidays can come with a lot of pressure to show up, to travel, to pass the baby, to stay longer than feels good.

Here’s your reminder:

👉 It’s okay to say no to gatherings.

👉 It’s okay to skip events.

👉 It’s okay to protect your energy, your baby’s rhythm, and your feeding goals.

Rest is not a failure.

Boundaries are not rude.

And staying home can be the most supportive choice for your family — especially during the newborn and infant months.

If saying no feels hard, you’re not alone. And if feeding challenges or holiday overwhelm are weighing on you, support is available in your home or via telehealth.

The holidays bring so much togetherness — and for parents with babies, that can mean a lot of opinions, extra hands, and disrupted routines.

Remember:

It’s okay to keep baby close.

It’s okay to step away to feed or pump.

It’s okay to say, “We’re going to stick to our rhythm today.”

Keeping baby close during busy gatherings helps you notice hunger and overwhelm early, supports consistent feeding, and protects your milk supply. It also helps you feel more grounded in the middle of the holiday buzz.

A few loving boundaries that can help:

💛 Wear your baby when you can

💛 Feed or pump on your usual schedule

💛 Ask for a quieter space if baby is distracted

💛 Let loved ones know you’ll rejoin once feeding is done

You don’t need to explain or justify these choices.
They’re not about being rigid. They’re about supporting your baby and yourself during a busy season.

If navigating holiday feeding feels overwhelming, we’re here to help in your home or via telehealth. Learn more and book at lincolnlactation.com.

The holidays are busy. Full calendars, full houses, and (what feels like) very little margin for error. 🤪

When you’re feeding an infant, that busyness can make getting support feel harder than it needs to be.

That’s where in-home lactation care makes all the difference. 💜

✨ No packing up a baby, pump parts, or car seat
✨ No rushing out the door between naps and feeds
✨ Support happens where feeding actually happens: on your couch, in your chair, etc.

During the holidays, routines shift, babies get distracted, and parents often put their own needs last. Having an IBCLC come to you means care that fits into your day, instead of adding one more thing to your plate.

Whether you’re navigating holiday feeding challenges, pumping schedules, or just want reassurance that things are going okay, we’re here.

Book an in-home or telehealth visit with Lincoln Lactation. We’ll meet you where you are — literally — so you can focus on feeding your baby and enjoying the season. 🎄

Many insurance plans are accepted. Learn more and book at lincolnlactation.com.

As we gather around tables big and small today, we’re feeling so thankful.

We’re thankful for every family who’s welcomed us into their homes, every late-night message that turned into a moment of relief, and for every parent finding their rhythm in feeding and nurturing their baby.

At Lincoln Lactation, we’re deeply grateful to be part of this community — to serve parents across Lincoln and beyond, and to walk beside you through the early, messy, beautiful days of feeding and bonding.

However you celebrate, we hope today brings you warmth, good food, and rest.

Happy Thanksgiving from Melissa and Anna 🦃💛

Raise a hand if your holiday calendar is about to hit turbo mode 🙋‍♀️

Concerts, work parties, family dinners, school events — it’s a joyful whirlwind… and for many moms, it can quietly impact milk supply.

Every year, we see more moms come to us over the holidays wondering why their milk seems lower, or why baby’s feeds feel “off.”

Here’s what’s often happening:

🎄 Distractions + Overstimulation
Babies are surrounded by new faces, lights, sounds — and they forget to nurse as often or as long.

🥧 Schedule Disruptions
Pumping sessions get delayed (who wants to miss dessert?), and full breasts send “slow down” signals to the body.

👶 Solids Before Milk
Older babies might fill up on new foods before nursing — removing less milk and signaling the body to make less.

📉 Overfull Breasts = Fewer Feeds = Supply Drop
It’s a simple but sensitive feedback loop. When milk isn’t removed regularly, the body makes less of it.

The good news? You can help protect your supply:

Nurse or pump on your regular rhythm — even during celebrations.
Keep baby close so you can catch early hunger cues.
Step away for quiet feeds if baby’s distracted.
Ask family to wait for you before starting big events (your comfort matters, too).

If your supply seems low or your breasts feel sore, reach out. Sometimes a few small adjustments make all the difference.

Taking Care of YOU.

So you’re expecting a baby. Congratulations! If you’re like many parents you’re doing your research these days - there are pediatricians to choose, birth plans to write, and books to read. There are lots of decisions to be made and classes to take. It’s overwhelming, but you’re going into childbirth prepared!

Maybe you’re dreaming of the day after baby is born, with childbirth behind you. What do you see there?

Eight out of ten women look back on the first two months after bringing baby home and wish they’d spent more time preparing for that reality. But without knowing what is in store, how is preparation possible? I’m a Postpartum Doula - and I’m here to bridge that gap.

So breath deeply knowing you have someone on your team who will care for you while you care for your newborn.
