Okay… this fl**ge shape is quietly becoming a BIG deal 👀

The Saucer Fl**ge by Maymom is proving to be a total game-changer for parents who just couldn’t get traditional fl**ges to feel right.

We’re seeing great results across so many breast types, but especially for:
-softer / “doughy” or pillowy breast tissue
-shorter ni***es
-early postpartum engorgement

The wider saucer-style base accommodates the breast like no other fl**ge and often allows for better comfort + more efficient milk without gapping!

Is it for everyone? No fl**ge is.
But if you’ve been sized correctly and things still feel off… this shape might be the missing puzzle piece.

💬 Comment SAUCER and we’ll send you the link this one is absolutely worth trialing.

When your baby is uncomfortable and no one can explain why, it’s easy to start questioning yourself.

But you’re not dramatic.
And you’re not imagining it!

Sometimes it’s CMPA - and sometimes it just hasn’t been explained well.

It is time to stop squishing and flipping the breast like a hamburger in hopes of a less painful latch.

Your baby was born with reflexes designed to help them latch: rooting, seeking, gaping, and sucking are all built-in tools to guide feeding.

But when we over-assist (hello, flipple), we often override those reflexes and that can lead to more pain, not less. Reflexes not being stimulated means your baby will not continue building those motor patterns to USE them.

A good latch doesn’t require pin-point ni**le placement by you. It requires:

-Baby able to root and seek

-Neck extension and chin leading

-Gape reflex triggered by breast contact with the chin

-Tongue forward + deep latch

Your baby needs support, they don’t need you controlling it!

⚠️ If your baby is struggling with any of these reflexes, that’s your cue to assess what’s blocking them: tension, oral dysfunction, tethered tissues, birth trauma, and more.

As lactation professionals, it’s our job to identify what’s preventing your baby from doing what they were built to do.
Let’s work on giving your baby the free range of motion and support at the breast to initiate latching with the reflexes they were born with!

Biggest mistake you are making with fl**ge sizing... you likely have not gone small enough yet!

You have measured, tried a few sizes, and it STILL feels pinchy or tight.
OR
You were using a 24mm, trialed a 21mm since it is smaller, and that actually hurt WORSE. Back to 24mm you went, because it is atleast bearable.

The problem with this is that there are well over 40 different shapes and sizes of fl**ges on the market now. Plastic, silicone, cone shaped, narrow, less sloped, more sloped, and all in different sizes- you get the picture.

What happens when you go down in size, but not far enough down is that it can actually hurt MORE. It pulls on more sensitive tissue than it would have if we allowed WAY too much tissue in. This can also impact milk spray as well. So you get scared and you go back up to the size that was mediocre or you get labeled as “not responding to the pump”.

Sizing is so much more than a quick measurement, handing you a size, and sending you out the door. It is often a full 30-60min consult spent trying different sizes, monitoring comfort + milk sprays, and working together to figure out the best option for you.

⚡️ POWER OUTAGE + BREASTMILK?
Here’s what to do to keep baby and breastmilk safe.

Power went out and you have breastmilk in the fridge/freezer...I know that panic feeling so well, especially when your milk represents HOURS of work and a food source for your baby.

✅ FIRST: Keep fridge/freezer doors CLOSED as much as possible.

MILK IN THE FRIDGE

🧊 If fridge is ≥ 40°F / 4°C for 4+ hours: save for a milk bath.
✅ If still cold (≤ 40°F / 4°C): use within typical timeframe.

MILK IN THE FREEZER

❄️ If milk has ice crystals: SAFE TO REFREEZE
❄️ If milk is fully thawed but still cold: use within 24 hours (do not refreeze- some parent will opt to refreeze based on their own comfort).
🚫 If milk is warm or you’re unsure: save it for a milk bath.

✨ Pro Tip: Move freezer milk to a cooler with ice packs if outage lasts longer than expected.
✨ Pro tip: keep a cheap fridge thermometer inside your fridge/freezer, it makes decisions SO much easier during outages.
