Happy Mother’s Day to all the mamas, those hoping to become one, and those holding motherhood close to their hearts in different ways. Today we celebrate you and all the love you give! 🌷

I checked the weather this morning and couldn’t be more excited for such a beautiful day ahead☀️

Use this as your reminder to get outside today!

Whether you’re pregnant, newly postpartum, or soaking up those early newborn days, time outside can do so much:
✨ Boost your mood
✨ Support better sleep (for you & baby)
✨ Encourage gentle movement and healing
✨ Help regulate baby’s day/night rhythms

It doesn’t have to be anything big. A short walk, stepping outside while baby naps or opening up the windows to let the fresh air and sunshine in!

Fresh air + sunshine = a reset for everyone 🤗

We’ll talk through your birth story, I’ll get to know you and your baby, and review your feeding history.

If you’d like, I can assess your baby’s latch and do a weighed feed to see how much milk they’re transferring.

From there, we’ll create a realistic, personalized plan that works for you and your little one.

No judgment.
No pressure.
Just support.

If you’re interested or have questions, I’d love to connect! 🤍

Happy Valentine’s Day!

No matter what stage of parenting you’re in, it’s easy to put your relationship last. Whether you’re heading out for a fancy dinner tonight or staying in, I hope you get some time to connect with your significant other! 💗

I always love to remind my clients that most insurance companies not only cover the cost of a breast pump, but also cover pump replacement parts + milk storage bags!

Friendly reminder to check your benefits to save money on your feeding journey 💗

The day isn’t over yet!

Happy World Breast Pumping Day to all the mamas doing the hard, unseen work. Your body is amazing, your effort matters, and you deserve to feel so proud of yourself! 🤍

This cold is no joke! 🥶

No need to bundle up your baby or head out in weather like this. Stay warm & I’ll come to you!

I offer in-home visits so you can stay warm, safe, and comfortable at home while still getting the support you need 🤍❄️

If you have a clinic appointment scheduled and would prefer to switch to in-home, let me know!

Happy Wednesday!

If you are in need of breastmilk storage bags, I have extras available and would love to help. Message me to coordinate pickup at my clinic, or let me know if you have an appointment and I can bring some with!

If you have any extra, unused storage bags you won’t be using, I’d be happy to collect them to share with other moms!

Lately, I’ve been having a lot of conversations with families about bottle refusal. It’s important to know that bottle refusal is common and it’s not your fault!

Many breastfed babies struggle with bottles, often around 2–4 months. This doesn’t mean you waited too long, did anything wrong, or that your baby is “stubborn.”

Several factors can play a role, including:
🍼Bottle flow (too fast or too slow)
🍼Who is offering the bottle
🍼Preference for the breast
🍼Normal developmental changes

With the right support and approach, early and intentional bottle exposure can help protect both breastfeeding and bottle acceptance. And the good news? Bottle refusal is usually fixable — without forcing feeds!

I’m happy to help find the best strategy that works best for your baby and your feeding goals 🤍
