🍼 T***y Tuesday Tip: Gentle Tips for Tender Ni***es: Soothe, Optimize, Support

Experiencing ni**le pain? Soreness early on can be normal, as your ni**les are *probably* not used to being sucked on 24/7!!! But breastfeeding (or pumping) should not be painful! These 3 steps can help promote healing and make nursing more comfortable."

✨ Soothe – Express some colostrum or breastmilk, rub it into your ni**les, and let your them air dry. Breastmilk has natural healing properties! You can also use my favorite Lansinoh Soothies cooling gel pads for cooling relief.

✨ Optimize – Check that latch! A shallow latch is often the root of ni**le pain. Your ni**le should come out round, not pinched or creased (think: lipstick-shaped = trouble!).

✨ Support – Get help early! Don’t wait for things to get worse—an IBCLC can help you tweak positioning or identify deeper issues like tension or ties.

You and your ni**les should not dread feeding time! Reach out today! I'm here!

Myth: “Breastfeeding is supposed to come naturally.”
Truth: While breastfeeding is natural, that doesn’t mean it’s always easy! It’s a skill both you and your baby may need to learn. Support truly can make all the difference. Many people don't know where to turn, but let me assure you, there are professionals who can help!

Latch struggles, supply concerns, ni**le pain—it’s a learning curve for both parent and baby. That’s where support makes all the difference. 💪 Whether you're nursing, pumping, or somewhere in between, you don't have to figure it out alone.

At Tiny Steps to Parenthood, we offer compassionate, personalized lactation support to help you reach your feeding goals with confidence. 💗

📞 Book your consult today and let’s take the guesswork out of feeding your baby.

T***y Tuesday Tip from Tiny Steps 🍼
Let’s talk ni**le compression 👇

If your ni**le comes out looking flattened, pinched, or like a lipstick tip after nursing, it could be a sign that baby isn’t latched deeply enough — or may have some oral restrictions.

When the latch is shallow or baby’s hard palate is putting pressure on the ni**le, it can lead to ni**le compression. Over time, this can cause soreness, blisters, cracks, infection, or even potential long-term damage.

✅ A deep, comfortable latch helps prevent compression and protects your ni**le.
If you’re seeing this kind of ni**le shape after feeds — or you’re in pain — it’s time to troubleshoot the latch.

💬 Struggling? Reach out to an IBCLC (like us!) for support. You don’t have to figure it out alone.

📣 Stud & Dud Alert! 🍼

Ever notice that one breast seems to make more milk than the other when you’re pumping? Totally normal. You’re not alone—and there’s nothing wrong with you or your supply!!

👉 In the lactation world, it can be called “the Stud and the Dud.”

One side (the stud!) is the overachiever, filling bottles like a champ. The other side (the dud) might be a little shy, offering less output. And guess what? That’s OK.

🌟 Your breasts are a team, not competitors. Output doesn’t always reflect supply accurately—and the “dud” is still doing important work.

💡 Tips:
✔️ Always offer both sides at feedings
✔️ Start on the dud side sometimes
✔️ Don’t stress the numbers—babies are way more efficient than pumps!

You’re doing amazing. Whether you’re nursing, pumping, combo feeding, or weaning—your body is showing up.

❤️ Tag a friend who needs this reminder today!

While picking up some groceries today, I came across this mustard and this is where my mind went:

Does your baby’s p**p look like this? Breastfed babies make seedy, yellow mustardy p**p!! I always tell my patients: if you have a holiday coming up and are planning to see family members who aren’t your favorite, jar up some of your baby’s 💩, put a bow on it, and tell them this is the fanciest homemade mustard around! 😆
