Breastfeeding mamas—let’s talk fl**ge fit 👏

One of the most overlooked parts of pumping is making sure your fl**ge is the right size. An improper fit can lead to:
• Ni**le pain or damage
• Decreased milk output
• Incomplete emptying
• Plugged ducts or mastitis

Your body isn’t “failing”—your pump setup might just need a tweak 💡

A properly fitted fl**ge should be comfortable and empty the breast without having to pump 20-25 minutes.

✨ The good news? This is fixable—and often makes a BIG difference fast.

If you’re pumping and:
• It hurts
• Output seems low
• Your ni***es look swollen, blanched, or misshapen after

…it’s time for a fitting!

📅 Schedule an appointment and let’s get you comfortable, confident, and pumping effectively. You deserve support that works for you 💛

🚨 Supplement Recall Alert: Moringa & Salmonella Risk

Moringa is commonly used by breastfeeding mothers to help boost milk supply—but a recent FDA recall highlights an important safety concern.

⚠️ What was recalled:

Rosabella-brand moringa capsules

White bottles with green label

Expiration dates in 2027

👉 See table here for a complete list of affected lot numbers and expiration dates:
https://www.fda.gov/food/outbreaks-foodborne-illness/outbreak-investigation-extensively-drug-resistant-salmonella-moringa-powder-february-2026 %20Product%20Information

🦠 Why it matters:
These products were recalled due to Salmonella contamination, which can cause:
Diarrhea
Fever
Abdominal cramps

Symptoms typically begin 12–72 hours after exposure and may last 4–7 days.
Young children, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems are at higher risk for severe illness.

InfantRisk perspective:
Moringa is often perceived as a “natural” way to support milk supply—but this recall is a reminder that supplements are not risk-free, especially during breastfeeding.

🤱🏼✨ New Year Update ✨🤱🏼

As we step into 2026, we want to thank you for your continued trust and support. We are still diligently working behind the scenes to resume in-network claim filing with Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS). We know how important this is for many of our families, and we truly appreciate your patience as we navigate this process.

Until BCBS claim filing is restored:
• We are accepting self-pay
• You may use FSA/HSA cards for payment
• We will provide a superbill to submit to insurance for possible reimbursement.


We can still file insurance claims with:
✅ UnitedHealthcare (UHC)
✅ Cigna
✅ Aetna

Our mission has always been to make high-quality lactation support as accessible as possible, and we are committed to finding solutions that work for your family.

Thank you for allowing us to be part of your breastfeeding journey. We are honored to support you through every latch, milestone, and moment along the way. 💙

Here’s to a year of growth, confidence, and thriving families!

We get this question a lot!!

Considering Botox while breastfeeding?💉

According to the latest research, Botox is unlikely to transfer into breast milk due to its large molecular size. While current evidence suggests it is generally safe, it is always best to consult with your healthcare provider before proceeding.

Thank you to the InfantRisk Center for highlighting this important information.

🆕 New Update Alert!💉

We've updated our article on Botox and breastfeeding to reflect the latest research! Moms often ask if Botox is safe while nursing — and now, our expert review provides the most current evidence.
