🌞 HOT WEATHER FEEDING TIPS FOR BABIES 🌞

When it’s hot outside, your baby might change how they eat—and that’s totally normal!
Here are a few things to watch for:

🍼 Smaller, more frequent feeds – Just like us, babies often prefer to eat in shorter sessions when it’s warm.
💧 No water needed (under 6 months) – Breast milk or formula keeps them perfectly hydrated—extra water isn’t safe for young babies.
🌄 More feeding in cooler hours – Babies may be hungrier in the early morning or late evening when it’s not as warm.
🩳 Keep baby cool during feeds – Strip down to a diaper, wear breathable clothes, and try feeding in a cooler room or with a fan.

When in doubt, trust your gut—and reach out if you need support. 💛

Engorgement at it's worst only lasts a couple days during the first week of lactation. Why spend money on such a short use item?
Grab some cabbage. Simple. Cheap. Sustainable.

Before you stress out about following "the rules," its important to know what the rules are about.
Then decide what works for you and what doesn't.
Send me a DM if you got a question about a so called breastfeeding "rule" and I'll give you the back story so you can decide what is safe and do-able for your family 👍

If you’re looking for some quick personalized guidance, I’ve got two slots open for virtual one-on-one lactation sessions.

I know I had questions pop up that entire year nursing my baby where I needed somebody to look at what I had going on.

$25 for 25 minutes. Or I can bill your insurance if you have Regence and live in WA.

If you’re interested, just reply with “talk” and we’ll go from there.

My 'breast is as bucket' analogy is helpful for understanding why breasts are never empty and the supply/demand relationship of how much milk we milk.

Little adjustments can make big improvements.

Whether you've been pumping for awhile or just starting, it's never too late to try new things.

Try some and let me know what you think 👊

Happy Mother's Day to all mothers. The food you feed your child - whatever that may be - is so much more than the actual nutrients and ingredients. ❤
