🧠✨ Pregnancy & Postpartum Brain Changes (aka “Mama Brain”) ✨🧠
If your brain has felt different since pregnancy or birth, you are not imagining it.
Brain scan (MRI) studies show that pregnancy and the postpartum period are one of the biggest “brain growth spurts” of adult life. Your brain is literally remodeling itself to become a caregiving brain!
Want a space to talk about “mama brain,” big feelings, and feeding your baby?
You’re warmly invited to join our free MILC League breastfeeding & lactation support group every Monday at 9:30AM. You don’t have to figure this out alone.

🌈 Bloom & Grow MILC League
Mondays at 9:30 AM
Topic: Allergies, Intolerances & Bloody Stools (…Without Panic!)
Is your baby extra fussy, spitting up a lot, or having green/mucousy or even blood-streaked stools? 😟 It’s scary to see, and it’s easy to assume “allergy” or feel pressured to cut tons of foods from your diet.
At this week’s MILC League support group, we’ll be talking about:
🩸 Bloody stools in babies – when it’s urgent and when it’s often mild and self-limited
🍼 “true allergy” – why most cases are benign and babies usually outgrow them
🥛 Dairy, soy & other common culprits – and why we don’t jump straight to extreme elimination diets
🤱🏽 How to protect breastfeeding while we sort out possible triggers
This is a judgment-free, evidence-based space. Bring your questions, your worries, your poopy-diaper stories, and we’ll sort through what’s normal, what needs more evaluation, and how to feed your baby without fear. 💛
All pregnant and lactating parents, partners, and support people are welcome.

Breastfeeding shouldn't hurt. ❤️‍🩹

While some tenderness in the first few days is part of the learning curve, that sharp, pinching, or biting sensation 😖 is a signal that something needs to shift. You don't have to just "power through" it.

In my new blog post, "Breastfeeding Shouldn’t Hurt: Understanding the Latch and Finding Comfort," I break down the real cause of most breast pain. 🕵️‍♀️

Here's a hint: It's rarely a yeast infection. 🚫 And it's not always a tongue-tie.
The latest research shows that most pain comes from mechanical forces—an unstable or shallow latch that compresses the ni**le. The fix?
✅ Optimizing your "fit and hold" to help your baby use a gentle vacuum, not compression.

As a lactation medicine physician 👩‍⚕️, I help families find the root cause of their pain. You deserve accurate, evidence-based care that supports your goals without unnecessary medication or surgery.

Read the full guide at the link in my bio 💻 for actionable advice and to learn how physician-level support can make all the difference.
