Your body. Your baby. Your magic. 🕊️

It’s World Breastfeeding Week — a moment to honor the miracle of milk and the mothers behind it.

At Milkwise, we know breastfeeding isn’t just feeding — it’s immune support, maternal healing, and a deep emotional bond. It’s also not always easy. 60% of moms stop earlier than they wanted to due to a lack of support.

That’s where we come in. We connect moms with compassionate IBCLCs — real-time, virtual or in-person — and we center holistic care that sees the whole mother.

✨ Covered by Aetna + UHC in California
✨ Self-pay support available nationwide
✨ Led by moms, rooted in love

Our founder is not only a breastfeeding mama — she’s also a trained herbalist. During her own nursing journey, she leaned on sunflower lecithin and other herbs to ease clogged ducts and support milk flow. Seeing a trusted brand like bring high-quality, intentional formulations to moms everywhere feels like a full-circle moment.

✨ What is sunflower lecithin?
It’s a natural fat emulsifier derived from sunflower seeds that helps prevent and clear clogged milk ducts. It works by breaking down sticky fat in the milk, so it flows more freely through the milk ducts — supporting both comfort and supply.

🌿 Herbs are allies, not quick fixes — they help bring the body back into balance. That’s why we always recommend consulting with a lactation consultant (like ours at Milkwise) to figure out what your body (and baby) truly need.

💛 Stay tuned for education, giveaways, and Milkwise perks as we bring you more holistic care options from partners we love.

“Are lactation consultants covered by insurance?” 💭
YES — and we’ve got you, mama! 🙌

Milkwise is officially partnered with Aetna and UnitedHealthcare (UHC) in California, which means many of our lactation services (prenatal and postpartum) may be fully covered for you. 🎉

Not with Aetna or UHC? Don’t worry — we’re adding new insurance partners throughout the year. 🌱✨ Keep checking back, and know that support is always here.

If you’re pregnant or postpartum, this is your sign to book your consult or sign up for a free Mindful Breastfeeding 101 class. You’re not alone on this journey — we’re here to make it smoother, supported, and sacred. 💛

Here’s your reminder that nursing can be an invitation to connection, presence and meditation with nature.
Try the 👇
As you breastfeed, close your eyes for a moment and take a deep breath in. 🌬️

Feel your baby’s weight in your arms, the warmth between you. With each inhale, imagine drawing in golden light from the earth — nourishing, grounding, ancient. Let that light rise up through your spine, into your heart, and out through your chest, flowing into your baby.

With each exhale, soften your body. Let go of tension. Let go of “shoulds.” Just be.

You are a river of life. You are in rhythm with the moon, the tide, the seasons of nature.

Let this be your meditation. Your magic. Your return to yourself.

We’re here to help you remember. 🤍

Let us know in the comments how that felt for you! Do you meditate while nursing? We’d love to hear your story.

**🍼 Ni**le Shields: A Bridge, Not a Destination 🧶**
⁠
If you’ve been handed a ni**le shield in the early days of feeding—don’t panic. You’re not failing. You’re building a bridge.
⁠
✨ **Ni**le shields** are a *temporary tool* to help you reach your breastfeeding goals. Whether your baby is having trouble latching, transitioning from bottle to breast, or you’re healing from soreness, the shield can offer support while keeping your journey moving forward.
⁠
🔍 Two key tips:

1. **Size matters.** Ni**le shields come in many sizes—make sure yours fits *your ni**le* and *your baby’s mouth.*
2. **See the little cut-out?** That dip should line up with your baby’s nose to make breathing easier while feeding.
⁠
👉 Once your baby gets comfortable at the breast, an IBCLC (like ours at Milkwise 💛) can support you in weaning off the shield and feeding directly.
⁠
Remember: this is just a stepping stone. And you’re doing great, mama. 🫶

⭐️ This Fourth of July, let’s talk about real freedom—for mothers.

Freedom to breastfeed wherever you want.

Freedom to access affordable compassionate and holistic healthcare and lactation support.

Freedom to make choices over your own body.

Freedom to stay home with your baby through federal maternity leave—so all mothers, not just the privileged few, have the time and support to nourish their children.

Because without paid leave, too many women are forced to choose between their baby’s wellbeing and their income.

At Milkwise, we believe maternal health is a human right, and breastfeeding is a public health issue—not a privilege.

We’re here to create a future where every mother has the freedom, time, and care she deserves.

✨ True independence includes mothers.
✨ True freedom includes the right to breastfeed—with time, support, and respect.
