It’s ok (normal!!!) to feel touched out, overstimulated, in need of body autonomy. These are valid feelings and experiences for all parents.

But if you’re in the mode to snuggle up your little one, stroke their forehead, rub their back, let them feed from you or close to your body via bottle, there is never too much connection. Infant brains are wired for connection and safety, and each time we connect physically and emotionally, their brains create countless hew wired connections for safety & calm.

Snuggle up that babe.

Just a few of our jobs as IBCLCs.

We’re here:

💫 to advocate for your goals and rights
💫 to treat you & baby as separate patients
💫 to also treat you & baby as part of a sacred unit, or dyad, working in concert
💫 to educate, inform, and empower about all things feeding

What we’re not here for:

🙅‍♀️ medical gaslighting
🙅‍♀️ creating a plan that doesn’t reflect your lactation and feeding goals

Come say hi if you’re looking for compassionate and comprehensive infant feeding & lactation care 💜

Reposting from this stunning art as we kick off World Breastfeeding Week & National Breastfeeding Month.

This month is about supporting breastfeeding parents, highlighting inequities in access to care, and defending an act that is as old as our species. It’s not about shaming, or othering, or comparing. Our job as IBCLCS is to educate, support, encourage, and hold space for all of the feelings around feeding. This month is all about it all 🫶🫶🫶🫶

There’s a symbiosis between parent and baby that is unmatched, not replicable. Part of that symbiosis, aside from all the good stuff we know about attuning to our babies’ needs, also involves remembering that our needs matter, too.

If you need help finding the right infant feeding balance that keeps you feeling like your best self and ensures baby is thriving, we can help you. Exclusive breastfeeding, exclusive pumping, combo feeding, occasional pumping, daily comfort nursing, at-breast feeding by day and pumping by night — we’ve seen it all. Your version of this is as unique as you are.

Rosie and I sort of fell in love during a home visit today. She’s the sweetest older sister and protector of the new baby in her family, and she gives great kisses 🥰

THE SECOND CHILD / /

Never like the first. They come along for the ride, nursing on-the-go while you do all the things you normally do with your first. Older kiddo plays, you nurse. Older kiddo reads with you, baby nurses the whole time. You’re watching ballet class while nursing or handing out snacks on the soccer field. It’s part of the swirl of your new life, and in the chaos, it’s extraordinary.

It might not feel like all rainbows, fairy dust, and magic every time your little one nurses. But for them, it really is. Your body is their habitat, your warmth keeps them cozy, your smell makes them feel safe, your heartbeat helps regulate. Even if feeds are not going the way you imagined or your feeding journey looks a little bit different than expected, this time with your baby on you is sacred, exactly as it is. Celebrate the wins when you can and know that perfection really doesn’t exist. But connection and co-regulation do. 🫶💜💫

Nothing comes between our patients & the compassionate clinical care we provide. Your family is always welcome, your babies will always be part of our practice, and we will always commit to helping all parents and babies find feeding harmony.
