Did you know your breastmilk can actually change based on what you eat? 🤯
The smell, color, and even flavor can shift depending on your diet—kind of like giving your baby a little “sneak peek” of the foods they’ll try one day.

So go ahead and enjoy that variety—it’s good for you and a fun way for your little one to get used to different flavors early on. 💕

✨ Want to learn more about how your body and milk adapt to your baby’s needs? That’s exactly what I help families with every day. Most visits are covered by insurance—so let’s get you the support you deserve!

💬 Comment “insurance” below and I’ll let ya know if you’re covered!

✨Your baby’s got some serious skills! They can smell your milk from up to 3 feet away AND recognize your scent within days of being born. Basically, you’re their favorite bakery, coffee shop, and cozy blanket all rolled into one. 💕

Ever wonder why they start rooting around the second you walk in the room? Yeah… they knew you were there before you even said a word. How far do you think your baby could sniff you out? Share your funniest (or sweetest) story in the comments—I bet we’ve all got one!

It’s a great feeling to love what you do so much that it doesn’t even feel like work!

✨ Did you know every lactation visit with me includes a full infant assessment?
I don’t just look at feeding — I look at baby as a whole.

Things like muscle tension, oral function, and reflexes can play a big role in breastfeeding success. By checking these things early, we can uncover the root of challenges (like pain, shallow latch, or slow weight gain) and make your journey smoother and more enjoyable.

Because when baby thrives, feeding feels better for everyone.

👉 Save this if you’re preparing for postpartum or struggling with breastfeeding now — you don’t have to figure it out alone.

👉Book your visit today and let’s get to the root of your breastfeeding struggles together!

Figuring out which wearable pump to get can make your head spin 🙃
I had a specific request from a client this week to compare the different Mom cozy options so you all get to benefit! 🤣
Do you go lightweight and simple? Fancy with an app? Or one that holds more milk and lasts forever?
Here’s the quick breakdown I made for her

Which one do you think would actually work best for you — M5, M9, or S12 Pro?

Breastmilk isn’t just food—it’s a living, custom-made super blend. 🍼✨

It’s got antibodies to fight off germs, hormones to help your baby sleep, healthy fats for brain growth, stem cells, probiotics, and even mood-boosting chemicals for both of you. And here you thought you were just nursing… nope, you’re basically serving a gourmet, immune-boosting, brain-building latte on tap. 💪

Ok raise your hand if you’re trying the new breastmilk “flavored” ice cream?! Shipping nationally until August 10th!! 🤣

Two-pint minimum. Our ice cream is lightly sweet, a little salty, with hints of honey and a dash of colostrum. And while it’s not actually made with human milk, we think our recipe tastes pretty close to the real deal. You can get a scoop at the Frida Breast Milk Ice Cream Pop Up in Brooklyn, NY (...

🌟 C-section mamas—your breastfeeding story is valid, powerful, and totally possible. 🌟

Whether it starts in recovery, hours later, or with extra support, breastfeeding after a C-section is absolutely achievable. Your body just did something incredible—now it’s learning something new. Give it grace, give it time, and know you’re not alone. 💛

Every latch, every drop, every cuddle counts.

If I could sit down with my younger, sleep-deprived, milk-stained, overwhelmed self… these are the 5 things I’d whisper in her ear. 🫶

Breastfeeding is beautiful — but it’s also messy, emotional, and *a lot*. As a nurse, IBCLC, and mama of 5, I’ve learned that sometimes the most powerful shifts are the *simplest* ones.

Swipe through for the gentle truths I wish I knew back then 💗
…and maybe the ones you need to hear today too.
