Breastmilk is uniquely designed for your baby’s body and is digested more quickly than formula because it’s perfectly matched to a human infant’s developing gut. It contains enzymes like lipase and amylase that actively help break it down, making it easier to absorb and gentler on the stomach. Faster digestion means babies get hungry sooner and need to nurse more often, not because your milk isn’t enough, but because it’s doing exactly what it’s meant to do. Frequent feeds are a sign of normal biology, not a problem to fix. 🤱

You are enough, you have enough! Feed the baby not the freezer.🌸

This message matters because fear, not physiology, is what often drives unnecessary early supplementation….

Healthy, term newborns are biologically designed to live on colostrum in the first days of life. Colostrum IS milk. It is produced in small, concentrated amounts on purpose, it matches the newborn stomach’s capacity, stabilizes blood sugar in healthy infants, coats the gut, and provides immune protection while milk volume transitions.

When we introduce formula “just in case” without a medical indication, we often interrupt the normal supply-and-demand process that establishes milk production. What protects breastfeeding outcomes isn’t backup formula, it’s early, frequent feeding, realistic expectations, and skilled lactation support 🏥✨

Formula has a vital role when medically indicated. But for healthy term babies, colostrum is not a placeholder, it’s the plan.

Love this info! Group will be held in 256 from 11-1 today.

Breast milk isn't just a meal….it’s a bodyguard. While formula stays the same on the shelf, your milk is "listening" to your baby. We don't promote breastfeeding to be "trendy", we protect it because it is the foundation of lifelong metabolic and immune health.

It’s easy to forget that while you’re breastfeeding, your body is performing a million tiny miracles. It’s reading your baby, adjusting fat content for growth spurts, and sending immune boosters, especially now during cold season. Whether you’ve breastfed for one day or two years, take a moment to appreciate the “living fluid” your body creates. ❤️

Merry Christmas from the LC’s at Summerville Hospital 🎄🎄🎄🎄

There are a lot of things money can buy this season.
Big gifts. Fancy wrapping. Things that sparkle for a moment.

And then there is what you give.

Something no store sells.
Something no price tag can touch.

You are providing the one thing that cannot be bought, borrowed, or replaced.
Milk made specifically for your baby. Not a generic version. Not a close second. The exact thing their body asked for.

Your breast milk changes with their needs.
It adapts when they are sick.
It comforts when the world feels too loud.
It nourishes in a way nothing else can replicate.

There is no competition here.
No comparison.
No upgrade.

This is not about being better than anyone else.
It is about recognizing the quiet power of what your body is doing.

While the world rushes for more, you are already giving the most valuable thing there is.

And your baby knows it. 🤱✨

If you needed the reminder:
You don’t need a “perfect” diet to make perfect milk.
Your body knows exactly what to do. 💛
