Okay no because why is everyone telling moms what to do??

Breastfeed. No formula.
Sleep train. Wait don’t you dare.

Hold your baby…but also don’t create bad habits??

Like WHAT. Listen to me.

If your baby is fed…
loved… and feels safe with you…

YOU. ARE. DOING. AMAZING.

I don’t care if it’s b00b, bottle, pumping at 2am.
I don’t care if your baby sleeps in a crib… or literally on you.

It’s your baby.
Your life.
Your sanity.

And you know what’s best for YOUR baby. So block out the noise…

Because you?
Yeah you’re a really good mom ❤️ tag a Mama that could hear this today!

You weren’t supposed to just “figure it out.”

But that’s exactly what most moms are expected to do.

You leave the hospital with a brand new baby…
and suddenly you’re responsible for feeding, sleep, and keeping this tiny human alive with little to no real guidance.

So you Google.
You ask friends.
You try to piece it together.

And when things feel hard, confusing, or overwhelming… you wonder if it’s you.

It’s not.

The truth is- feeding and sleep are skills.
And when you have the right support, everything starts to feel a whole lot easier.

Hi, I’m Tiffany — pediatric RN, IBCLC, and baby sleep consultant 👋
I help moms go from overwhelmed and second-guessing everything…
to confident, supported, and actually enjoying their baby.

Inside my world, you’ll learn how to:
• protect your milk supply from day one
• understand your baby’s feeding + sleep cues
• get longer stretches of sleep (without guessing)
• feel calm instead of constantly questioning yourself

And the best part? I can see you virtually anywhere in the USA! And…
Most of my feeding + sleep consults are covered by insurance 🙌

You don’t have to do this alone 🫶🏻

Comment “HELP” and I’ll point you in the right direction 💛

Most moms get a pump through insurance… and assume that’s all they need.

But here’s the truth 👇

Not all pumps are designed to build milk supply.

Some are great for maintaining…
but in those early weeks, efficiency matters a lot more than people realize.

A hospital-grade pump can be a game changer if:
• your baby isn’t removing milk well
• your supply feels low or dropped
• you’re exclusively pumping
• you’re spending time away from your baby

Because your milk supply is being established in the first 2–3 weeks…
and effective milk removal is what drives everything.

The right support early on can make your entire feeding journey feel easier.

PS most insurances will cover the cost of renting this pump!!

✨ This is exactly why I help moms create a plan before baby arrives so you’re not guessing when it matters most.

If you’re pregnant and plan to breastfeed, we can meet (covered through insurance!) to learn all about breastfeeding and create a plan together with support after baby is born! ❤️

Drop your questions and I’ll answer as many as I can! ⬇️

If you’re in your third trimester and planning to breastfeed… this is your sign to prep now and not wait until postpartum.

Most moms are told to “just see how it goes” or “breastfeeding is easy and natural”

But the truth is so much of breastfeeding success is set up before baby even arrives.

The difference I see?

Moms who go into birth with a plan feel more confident, recognize what’s normal, and catch issues early before they turn into supply struggles, painful feeds, or constant stress.

I’m pediatric RN + IBCLC, this is exactly what I walk my clients through and it makes a huge difference in how those first few days and weeks go.

✨ PS Most prenatal consults are covered by insurance!!!!

Many moms worry their pump is the problem… but its actually their bra 👀

As an RN + IBCLC, I see this all the time,�poor suction, discomfort, low output…
�and it comes down to wearing the wrong bra for the type of pump you’re using.

Here’s the truth:�✨ Wearable pumps need soft, supportive (not tight) bras�✨ Traditional pumps need strong, hands-free hold�✨ Switching between both? You need flexibility

And one of the biggest mistakes I see?�Wearing a bra that’s too tight → this can actually reduce milk flow 😳

Your bra isn’t just about comfort…�it directly impacts how effective your pumping sessions are.

If you’re pumping daily, this is something you need to get right.

Introducing cow’s milk to your breastfed baby doesn’t have to be all or nothing 🤍

At one year, it’s not about replacing breastfeeding overnight, it’s about gently adding whole milk alongside solids and letting your baby adjust at their own pace.

A few things to keep in mind:
✨ Start with small amounts in a cup at mealtimes or added to their bottle
✨Gradually mixing the milk with breastmilk can help with the taste adjustment, start with 75% breastmilk/formula and 25% milk and increase the percentage after a week. Continuing this as your baby is tolerating it.
✨ Don’t stress if they barely drink it at first…..exposure > intake
✨ Breastfeeding can absolutely continue (no need to rush weaning)
✨ Aim for ~16–24 oz/day once established so it doesn’t replace solids
✨ Focus on balanced meals

This is a transition, not a switch.

And every baby moves through it a little differently 🫶🏻

If you’re trying to balance breastfeeding, cow’s milk, and solids without feeling confused or overwhelmed, I’ve got you!

Burp breaks after every feed? You might not need them 👀

We’ve been told for generations that burping is essential… but the evidence doesn’t fully support that.

One study found that routine burping did NOT reduce colic symptoms and actually led to more episodes of spit-up/vomiting.

Here’s what I tell my families 👇

If your baby seems uncomfortable, arching, or pulling off the breast/bottle, yes, try a gentle burp.

But if they’re feeding calmly and content? You don’t need to interrupt a good feed just to burp.

That’s right!! If your baby feeds to sleep and is cozy and comfy, DO NOT wake them to try for burp!

Feeding shouldn’t feel like a guessing game and if your baby is fussy, gassy, or struggling with feeds and sleep, there’s usually a reason we can uncover together.

✨ I offer insurance-covered feeding + sleep assessments as a pediatric RN & IBCLC

Your milk supply isn’t random... it’s being programmed from day one.

In the first 2 weeks postpartum, your body is building the foundation for your long-term milk production.

This is when your body is learning:
→ how much milk your baby needs
→ how often milk is removed
→ how much to continue making

Early on, supply is driven by hormones.

But very quickly, it shifts to demand = supply

Which means:
If milk isn’t being removed effectively or often enough... your body assumes less is needed.

This is why I see so many moms struggle with supply later on-
not because their body “can’t”... but because it didn’t get the right signals early.

As a pediatric RN + IBCLC, this is one of the most important pieces I teach my moms before baby arrives.

Because when you understand how supply works, you can actually protect it!

Comment SUPPLY and I’ll help you build a plan that supports your milk production from the start🫶🏻

I’ve been doing this for 4 years… and hitting “post” still makes my stomach drop.

Every single time.

I overthink it
I rewatch it
I almost don’t share it

Because what if it’s not perfect?
What if it’s not good enough?
What if people judge it… or worse, ignore it?

But the truth is… waiting for perfect is what keeps me quiet.
And staying quiet doesn’t help the moms who need this.

So this is me choosing to show up anyway.
Messy. Real. Not perfectly curated.

Because honestly… isn’t that exactly what motherhood feels like too?

You figure it out as you go
You doubt yourself
You do it scared
And somehow… you still show up every day

So I’m letting go of perfect
So I can give you more

More support
More honesty
More of what actually helps

So hi! I’m Tiffany RN, lactation and sleep consultant! Here to make motherhood easier! I hope you stick around for what’s coming 🤍
