Your stress did not “ruin” your milk, and needing sleep does not make you a bad mom 💕
Stress can slow let down and exhaustion makes everything feel heavier, but your body is still working for your baby. Be kind to yourself, ask for help, and reach out for support if it feels too much 🍼✨

Researchers have found something remarkable, babies who received only colostrum in their first 72 hours of life were five times less likely to develop a peanut allergy, and eleven times less likely to develop multiple food allergies.

This study matters so much because it confirms that how we feed our babies in those first few days truly matters. Those first drops of milk aren’t just important, they’re powerful, protective, and packed with lifelong benefits.

Did you feel supported to give your baby just colostrum in those first few days?

And as always, you’re allowed to feel proud of every single drop of breastmilk you gave your baby 💛

Meet Stephanie Avienu, BS, IBCLC — We’re so lucky to have her expertise and compassion at Baby Café!

Stephanie’s journey to lactation support began with the birth of her first child in 2007. She graduated from Union Institute and University in 2015 with a Master’s certificate in Health Education and Promotion and became an IBCLC in 2016.

She loves being able to share her knowledge and support with breastfeeding families and work towards building breastfeeding as the cultural norm and as the best start for babies and families.
