Let me show you how to supplement your baby at the breast without the use of bottles! ❤️ I absolutely love this LactationHub Kit! It’s an amazing option for those with low milk supply feeling drained with triple feeding, those with Insufficient Glandular Tissue, those transitioning from bottles to the breast with a baby preferring a faster more reliable flow and those who are otherwise unable to produce breastmilk in amounts enough for their babies. Let me know if you have ANY questions! formulafeeding breastfeeding pumping mom

By 12-16 weeks of pregnancy, your milk changes back to colostrum. This is totally fine for older babies, but…

⚠️ If you get pregnant within the first 12 months postpartum, it can be a problem.

Your milk supply may drop, meaning your baby might not get enough.

We may need to supplement, increase feeds, or add more solids to make sure your baby is getting what they need.

If you’re breastfeeding and pregnant, check in with an IBCLC to see what adjustments may be needed.

Nobody talks about after pains… but they are VERY real. 🫠

After baby is born, whether vaginal or cesarean, your uterus has to contract back down to its normal size. Those contractions for it to return to its normal size can be quite uncomfy!

Here’s the part that catches so many parents off guard:
🤱🏽 Baby latches → oxytocin is released

When we think oxytocin + latching, we usually think about milk letdown… but that SAME oxytocin is also telling your uterus to contract.

So if you feel crampy, intense, almost like mini labor contractions when your baby is nursing… that’s exactly what’s happening.

Your baby latching is literally helping your uterus shrink back down.

It might not feel great… but it’s doing an important job!

This might surprise you… It’s not just about feeling tired.

Low iron can affect:
- 😞 mood (anxiety + depression)
- 🍼 milk supply
- 🧠 focus + memory (holy brain fog!!!)
- ❤️ your whole body (literally every single organ)

⚠️ And most moms are not taking enough iron to actually fix it!

Your iron dose should be based on:
- ferritin (iron storage)
- transferrin
- hemoglobin

👉 Hemoglobin alone is not enough (It’s the LAST thing to drop) and ferritin without transferrin is not reliable postpartum!

Optimal levels for postpartum: FERRITIN >50, HEMOGLOBIN 13.5-14.5

🍊 To absorb more iron:
✔ take with vitamin C
❌ avoid calcium (dairy) at the same time

And here’s the part most people don’t know:

Your body has an “iron gate” that closes after you take iron. So if you take it too soon again, you absorb less.

👉 That’s why I often let my patients know to discuss with their physician:
- every other day dosing
- sometimes she iron deficiency is pretty bad - even every 36 hours (hard to follow, I know 😅)

🧡 Better timing = better absorption + fewer side effects

Talk to your provider about what’s right for you.

Anemia and low milk supply? Reach out! We’d love to help guide you in the right direction.

A clogged duct (now called ductal narrowing) happens when an area around the milk duct gets inflamed and the duct gets compressed by local swelling. This causes a painful lump to emerge and you may experience breast redness accompanied by reduced milk output.

clogged ducts may be caused by:

-Infrequent milk removal
-Oral dysfunction
-Incorrect fl**ge size
-Incorrect fl**ge size
-Waiting too long to pump
-Skipping feeds
-Compressive clothing
-Oversupply of breastmilk
-Frequent antibiotic use

Mastitis is an inflammatory process inside of your breast caused by an unresolved clogged duct. In the beginning, mastitis is not considered a bacterial infection. However, if not treated, it can easily turn into one and may require antibiotic therapy.

Symptoms of mastitis include red and swollen area in the breast, fever, fatigue and decrease in milk supply on the affected side.

Mastitis does not ALWAYS require antibiotics. Often antibiotics are given before BAIT Protocol (comment BAIT and we will send you the protocol we recommend!) is used. Antibiotics address bacterial infection - but not inflammation so mothers may experience a slight relief in mastitis symptoms from antibiotics but often don’t fully heal if the root cause is not addressed.

If you develop a fever, you typically have about 24-48 hours before antibiotics may be needed. Call your doctor if your symptoms are not improving within 24-48h of BAIT treatment. Most antibiotics are safe to take while breastfeeding.
