When I say we are thorough with our pump fl**ge fittings, I do mean t*h*or*o*u*g*h 😅

We have Sizes 10-28mm, different shapes in each size as well as different materials.

The (gluten free) baking bug bit me this morning, so clients in the office today get to take home a slice!

Obligatory “here’s a thing I did” photo 😝

Spoke to 50 colleagues at the TLN Summit in Chicago (and an encore session) about how to care for ourselves while operating in a healthcare system that’s not set up for postpartum parents (and the providers who truly care about them) to thrive

I’m speaking at the TLN Summit in Chicago this weekend and our new promo materials arrived just in time!

“How could you possibly teach anyone how to latch with zero personal experience?”

It’s a question I can sense on all of my clients’ minds, though you’re all polite enough not to ask it out loud 😉

When clients ask whether I have kids, they’re surprised to hear that I don’t have kiddos of my own (yet). Because breastfeeding can feel like such an intense and personal journey, it’s understandable to wonder how someone who hasn’t experienced it themselves can really get it. Here’s how I do:

⭐ Trial and error is my jam. I love figuring out what *doesn’t* work, just as much as what does (and why). Ten years in and hundreds of families later, I’ve built a pretty thick handbook of what NOT to do. I use those cheat codes to help you speed up your learning curve.

⭐ I’m great at spotting patterns and subtle body language expressions—like noticing how everyone’s breath always hitches and their toes scrunch up when a baby latches with their head tilted a certain way (“note to self: that head angle = painful latch”)

⭐ Through deep listening, careful observation, and asking the right questions, I build a mental map to help me understand exactly what’s happening. From there, I can create a clear picture of what you and your baby need, and together we make the adjustments that can get you where you want to go.

⭐Lastly, I have a knack for explaining things in a way that clicks—whether it’s through creating analogies, guiding your hands to show you exactly what to do, or making a fool of myself while acting it out. (check that last photo for a demonstration 😂)

So, while I haven’t gotten to breastfeed my own babies yet, I *have* invested a crazy amount of time, thought, and detailed effort into learning how it works. You’re in excellent hands with me (and our whole lactation team at New North). You can do this, and we’re here to lead the way. 💕

Last week at Drop In—our breastfeeding & mindfulness group—we released what we didn’t need and called in some blessings for ourselves and our babies. It was beautiful 🥰

This Friday 8/16 is the last day of our summer series—there are only 2 spots left. Join us if you can! Link in bio.
