We are so proud of Tori for officially adding IBCLC to her list of credentials! 💜

Becoming a Certified Lactation Consultant is no small feat — it represents a thousand hours of training, education, and hands-on experience supporting breastfeeding families. But what truly sets Tori apart is that she’s not just an IBCLC… she’s also an experienced Speech-Language Pathologist specializing in infant feeding.

That means every family she works with gets the perfect blend of:
✨ Lactation expertise
✨ Oral-motor + feeding therapy knowledge
✨ Evidence-based support for both mama and baby

Tori can assess the whole feeding picture — from latch, tongue function, milk transfer, and airway concerns to the emotional and physical needs of postpartum families. This dual-credential approach brings a level of care, insight, and compassion that is incredibly rare.

We are grateful for the way she loves and supports our families so well.
Tori, your dedication to helping mamas and babies thrive makes TFC stronger, and we’re cheering you on every step of the way! 💕

Help us celebrate her in the comments! 🎉💗

✨ Breastmilk Fruit Pops ✨
A simple, soothing treat that your little one will love — especially during teething or when they’re feeling a bit under the weather.

These tiny pops are packed with comfort:
🍼 Breastmilk gives familiar taste + antibodies to support your baby when they’re sick.
❄️ Cold temperature helps calm sore, swollen gums during teething.
🍓 Fruit adds gentle flavor exposure for babies beginning solids (6+ months).

How to make them:
1. Add a small spoonful of your chosen fruit purée (strawberry, mango, banana, pear, blueberry).
2. Pour breastmilk over the top.
3. Freeze for 3–4 hours.
4. Pop out and let baby explore with supervision.

Why we love them:
• Easy flavor introduction
• Perfect portion size
• Naturally soothing
• Simple, nutritious, and baby-led friendly

Comfort + nutrition in one tiny pop. 💛

✨ Wisdom Wednesday from Melanie✨

My face when a patient tells me she pumped all night and left herself bruised trying to clear a clog 😩🤦‍♀️
Mama… please don’t hurt yourself. There’s a safer and much more effective way to help your body heal. 💗

At The Feeding Connection, here’s what we recommend instead:

❄️ Cool compresses
Helps reduce swelling and inflammation so milk can move more easily.

🤲 VERY gentle massage
Think soft, sweeping motions toward the armpit — not digging, pushing, or squeezing. Too much pressure can make things worse.

💊 Talk to your doctor about anti-inflammatories
Reducing inflammation is key. This can sometimes be more helpful than pumping itself.

🚫 Do NOT overstimulate
Pumping on high suction, pumping for long stretches, or “power pumping” through pain can increase swelling and make the clog harder to resolve.

💧 Stay hydrated & rest when you can
Your body clears clogs faster when you’re supported, not stressed.

If you’re struggling with a clog, pain, or repeated issues — you don’t have to figure it out alone.
We’re here to help you heal and feed comfortably. 💕
