✨ Placenta encapsulation can be one way to support your recovery in those first weeks at home postpartum ✨

Let’s talk about postpartum hair loss. This is one of those postpartum changes that almost no one warns you about, yet so many new moms experience.

It can feel shocking to see clumps of hair in the shower or on your brush 😳

But you are not alone. Your body is still adjusting, and that’s okay. Choose loose hairstyles, treat yourself with gentleness, and know that your hair will return with time.

Hi friends! I’m Latrina Harris, IBCLC, and I want to share my top tips for getting off to a successful start with breastfeeding ⬇️

Tip #1: Take a prenatal breastfeeding class – It’s the thing you’ll do the longest after birth, yet it’s the one most parents feel least prepared for.

Tip #2: Know what a good latch looks and feels like – This will help prevent sore ni***es and make sure your baby is getting enough milk.

Tip #3: Learn hand expression before birth – It’s a useful skill for collecting colostrum, relieving fullness, or helping your baby latch in the early days
