Your baby has a care team in the NICU 💚

✨️you deserve one too✨️

While the NICU providers focus on your little one’s needs, your lactation journey is just as important and requires its own support. In my NICU experience after the birth of the twins, I never realized this until it was too late.

Seeking your own lactation care means having someone who sees you, listens to your goals, and helps you navigate pumping, supply, and the emotions of feeding in the NICU. You don’t have to walk this road alone. Your baby does not need to be home from the NICU for you to be supported.

Every drop matters. Every effort counts. And your care is just as vital as your baby’s. 💚✨️

If you know of a NICU parent who is struggling, share this post.

If your milk supply dips right before or during your period — you’re not alone and you’re not broken.

🌀 Hormonal shifts (hello, estrogen + progesterone) can cause a temporary decrease in supply — usually starting a few days before your cycle and bouncing back within a few days.⁠

👉🏽 Here’s how to move and groove with that dip!
🧃 Boost calcium + magnesium (especially mid-luteal phase)
🍼 Stay hydrated & offer extra feeds or pumping sessions
✨️Respond to baby's cues or ensure that you're pumping efficiently.
🧘‍♀️ Give yourself grace — your body’s still showing up

Your period doesn’t mean the end of your milk. It’s just another curve on the breastfeeding rollercoaster 🎢💪

Baby think you’re a 24-hour diner with bottomless b***s???

Wondering why your newborn wants to nurse again... and again... and again? It’s called cluster feeding — and it’s how your baby tells your body, “Hey, we’re gonna need *more* milk tomorrow.”

Milk supply isn’t a fixed number — it adjusts daily based on how often and how effectively baby feeds. Those frequent sessions help to initiate and maintain your supply, especially in the early weeks. 💪🏽

So don’t stress — you’re not a human pacifier. You’re a milk-making superstar doing exactly what your baby needs.

Have concerns about your milk supply? Reach out for support today!
