Trust Your Gut: Infant Allergies During Lactation-
Have you ever worked with a lactating parent whose infant has one or several of the following symptoms; cries several hours a day, has difficulty sleeping, eczema or rashes, acid reflux, excessive spit up and/or vomiting, mucous and/or foul smelling stool? This baby is likely reacting to one food or even multiple foods in the mother’s diet. This presentation will discuss the different infant/pediatric allergic conditions, symptoms, and different management options to improve this very challenging situation for the infant and entire family.

Beyond Baby Brain: Embracing neurodiverse families and removing barriers to access in your lactation practice-
Did you know that science estimates one in ten adults in their 20's and 30's may be on the neurodiversity (ND) spectrum? These folks make up a large part of our clientele as lactation professionals. We have a responsibility as providers to consider the facets of our care that may be inaccessible to people on the ND spectrum. From booking, to billing, to the consult itself, it can be hard to look through the lens of someone who thinks completely differently than we do. This talk will cover the unique characteristics of different spectrum disorders as well as strategies for care and increasing accessibility to our care for these clients and their families.

Panel discussion:

Let's do our part to help develop the future of our profession!

About to bloom! 🌳🌸
Today I am so grateful for my backyard. Birds are singing. I am thinking of my friends and clients in the city, who are sheltering in place and sending you all virtual hugs. I hope you’re well and staying safe and sane! Even with a backyard that last one can be tough! 🤪🤗

It’s even harder to be on on days like today. As part of my 4 year old (he’s in Pre-K) is supposed to track signs of spring. It’s been a great reminder that change will come, and so very refreshing to see life returning. And it all depends on days like today.

Masks are not meant for children under 2 years old. Thanks for an important reminder!

Posted • Please don’t make masks for your babies. The CDC says no masks for children under 2. There are always exceptions to the rule for medical needs under the direction of a doctor (and using masks made specifically for that purpose).

It’s been wild with my three energetic boys home from school, while trying to transition to virtual consultations so quickly! I am definitely excited to be able to continue to offer lactation support, but realized pretty quickly that I needed some different props. So this morning, with a pattern I bought from , I turned to YouTube and learned some basic crochet. (I used to knit a lot so had some yarn lying around and a random crochet hook too!)
Et voila! I love my new blueberry colored b**b model. Crocheting was a nice meditative distraction from the news and the noise. 🧘
