For some moms, breastfeeding comes naturally. For some dads, supporting a breastfeeding mother comes naturally. For most, this is a learned process that is easier with education. At 8 weeks postpartum the rate of babies who are exclusively breastfed by mothers who also have dad's support is 78% vs 33% with no support from dad. Dads make a huge difference! Support will look different for every family. In my free breastfeeding class we take time to discuss meaningful ways that expecting moms and dads can prepare for the postpartum time. You can register at Sandpointlactation.com/breastfeeding-class-registration . I'll be sharing more posts soon on this topic. For now, I want to hear from moms and dads: what kind of support was helpful for you or what are ways that you found to be supportive?

If you have been effected by the North Idaho wildfire evacuations I am so sorry for what you are going through. If you are a woman breastfeeding or having difficulty feeding your newborn and you would like some support during this difficult time, I am offering free lactation care. Please contact admin@sandpointlactation.com to set up an appointment.

I also have an abundant supply of diapers, breast pads and milk storage bags. If you need this kind of supply, I will bring them to you.

We have moved to a new location! So excited to welcome moms, dads, babies and those who love and support them to our new location. My favorite feature of this new location is having more space for siblings to play while mom and baby work on breastfeeding.
