Breastfeeding is not one-size-fits-all.

This World Breastfeeding Week, we're celebrating every journey:
the smooth ones
the bumpy ones
the exclusively breastfeeding ones
the pumping ones
the combo feeding ones
the ones that ended sooner than hoped
and the ones that are still going strong.

Your feeding journey is valid. Your effort is seen. Your baby is loved.

As your IBCLC, I’m here to support you, with love, understanding, and absolutely no judgment, wherever you are on the path.

Never forget, on your hardest days, you are strong, powerful, capable, and enough.

You are phenomenal, and you’re crushing it!

Happy World Breastfeeding Week!

This August 1-7, we'll celebrate every parent who has chosen to breastfeed—whether for one day, one year, or somewhere in between and beyond. 💛

For every bit of beautiful that breastfeeding is, it's often equally as challenging. It takes strength, support, and sometimes a whole lot of perseverance. That’s why this week is also about raising awareness, breaking down barriers, and making sure families have access to the care they deserve.

Whether you're:
Exclusively breastfeeding
Combo feeding
Pumping
Nursing a toddler
Navigating weaning
Switching to formula
or just trying to figure it all out…you’re doing something incredible.

Your journey is worthy of celebration, support, and respect.

As an IBCLC, I’m here to walk alongside you with evidence-based care, no judgment, and a deep belief that your well-being, your goals, and your individual journey matters.

Follow along this week for education, encouragement, and real talk about what breastfeeding actually looks like—and how we can build a more supportive world for every family.

Hope you can join us next Saturday! LeighAnn Taylor will be facilitating a Babywearing playground and teaching about proper fitting.

July 30 is International Day of Friendship!

Let’s talk about showing up for the moms in our lives.

Motherhood is astoundingly beautiful, but for many, it can also be isolating, overwhelming, and full of quiet moments where someone feels unsure, unseen, or unsupported.

On this International Day of Friendship, let’s remember that one of the most powerful things we can offer a new mama is connection.

Check in without judgment
Offer practical help (meals, laundry, running errands, a nap!)
Hold space for their feeding choices, and encourage them in whatever their goals may be
Encourage them to seek support—not because they’re failing, but because they deserve it

Whether a friend is exclusively breastfeeding, combo feeding, bottle feeding, or still figuring it out, they’re doing something incredible. Their bodies have given life to the most wonderful of gifts, and however they choose to nurture their baby, make sure they feel supported and celebrated. A kind word or helping hand can make all the difference.

Tag a friend who’s walked beside you in motherhood. Or tag one who might need a little reminder: you’re not alone.

Good morning! When I’m not on the road visiting mamas, I’m doing telehealth visits! Grab your (first? second? I’m not judging, mama) cup of coffee and have a little peek into a work from home day with me.

Here’s a little look at my mobile “boobtique” 😄

I’m not trying to have a retail empire, but it’s helpful for people (especially down here where Amazon might take a week or more) to have access to the products they need. These are products that I recommend all the time for different situations, and it’s helpful to have them on hand so mamas, often in the early newborn days, aren’t having to drive around searching at stores or waiting a week or more for what they need.

Here’s what I’m keeping stocked for retail sale:

-Motherlove goats rue tincture
- Lactation Hub BreastHealth+ probiotic
- LactationHub Milkworks IR+
- Legendairy sunflower lecithin
- Lansinoh XS bottle ni***es
- Lactation Hub Cherry ni**le shields (small, medium, large)
- Legendairy duckbill valves
- Maymom flanges

These are products I stand behind, that have been invaluable for so many precious mamas, and I want to make sure you have the easiest, quickest access to them as possible — because sometimes just having what you need without stress can be the difference in confidence and self-doubt, and I want you to feel just as confident in yourself and your goals as I am in you.

A C-section may change the start of your feeding journey, but it doesn’t have to stop it.

Whether it was planned or unexpected, cesarean recovery comes with its own challenges, and breastfeeding after surgery is absolutely possible with the right support.

Here’s what can help:
• Skin-to-skin as soon as possible
• Laid-back or side-lying positions to protect your incision
• Help with latching while you’re still healing
• Patience with your body...it just did something incredible!

Your milk may take a little longer to come in, but you can build a strong, sustainable milk supply with early feeding or pumping, good latch support, and determined persistence.

Your body is not broken. Your feeding journey is still valid. You are doing something powerful!

If you're recovering from a C-section and need lactation support, I’m here to help you meet your goals with compassion and care, no matter how you gave birth or how your journey began.

Reach out anytime. You don’t have to do this alone!

Expert lactation care across Middle Georgia—home, office & virtual visits from a certified IBCLC to help you feed your baby with confidence.

Low Supply or Misinformation? Let’s Bust Some Myths

Worried you’re not making enough milk? Before you panic, let’s look at what’s actually going on. Many breastfeeding mothers assume they have low supply when in reality… they don’t.

MYTH: “My baby wants to nurse all the time, so I must not have enough milk for her.”
FACT: Frequent nursing is normal, especially during growth spurts and cluster feeding!

MYTH: “I can’t pump much, so I must not be producing much milk.”
FACT: There's a lot we can troubleshoot here! You may be using the wrong pump equipment for your body, the wrong settings, or just needing help getting through the learning curve of pumping.

MYTH: “My breasts don’t feel full anymore.”
FACT: Your body is likely adjusting to your baby's demand, and it doesn’t mean your supply is low. Way to go for sticking with it!

True low supply is real, but so is unnecessary worry caused by commonly shared myths. If you're worried about your supply or need help with pumping, reach out! I've got all the tools to help you succeed.

If you’re unsure about your supply or just want reassurance, that’s exactly what IBCLCs are here for. Let’s talk before you stress—we can figure this out together. 💛

If breastfeeding didn’t begin the way you imagined, you’re not alone, and you’re not to blame.

It's okay if your breastfeeding journey didn't start the way you planned.

Whether it was a rough latch, unexpected complications, a NICU stay, or a delayed start, your story is still valid. You’re still a breastfeeding mama. You’re still doing the best you can with the tools and support you had in that moment.

Disappointment over things going differently than you'd plan can hurt, and the world and our own minds love to lie to us about what's really most important -- the wellbeing of you and your baby. Healing from disappointment starts with grace, and I'm here to remind you to give yourself *lots* of it.

✨ Your feeding journey can begin—or be reimagined—at any time.
✨ Moving forward is always possible, even if it looks different than your original plan.

As an IBCLC, I help families find peace and possibility in the present moment, not perfection in the past.

Wherever you are in your journey, I see you, and I’m here for you.
