The most common reason milk supply drops, and it’s fixable. 💛

Dr. Doreen broke it down clearly during our webinar: if a baby isn’t positioned and attached properly, milk isn’t being removed from the breast the way it should be. And when that happens, your body reads it as a signal to produce less.

The good news? This is the most common cause of low supply and unlike some other factors, it can be changed with the right support.

If you’ve been worried about your supply, start by looking at how your baby is latching. A skilled health worker or lactation consultant can help you course-correct before it becomes a bigger challenge.

Most mothers can do this.

Dr. Doreen, Uganda’s first International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, reminded us during our recent webinar that over 90% of mothers are able to breastfeed successfully and provide enough milk for their babies.

If you’re struggling, there is likely something specific going on that can be identified and supported. You don’t have to figure it out alone.

This insight came from our African & Ugandan Solutions to Breastfeeding Webinar: When Mother’s Own Milk Isn’t Available — What Works Here?

You planned to feed, shower, eat, and nap.
Baby has submitted a different programme for the day. No consultations. No negotiations. Just vibes and a very loud announcement. 😭🤱🏾

In the middle of all the surprises, Mama: you don't have to figure out breastfeeding or motherhood alone. The right support can make all the difference.

Happy Independence Day, Uganda! From our Naturally Nourish family to yours. 💚🧡

Breastfeeding might not always begin with your baby at your breast.
Sometimes, it starts with a pump.

Maybe your baby arrived early. Maybe they’re having difficulty latching. Maybe you’re separated for a while, or you need to express to help maintain your milk production.

Whatever the reason, expressing milk can become an important part of your breastfeeding journey.
And we also want to talk about the part that isn't always discussed: how it feels.

It can be frustrating. It can be exhausting. It can look very different from the breastfeeding experience you imagined.

But please remember: expressing milk does not mean you have failed at breastfeeding.
Your journey may look different, but that doesn't make it any less real. 💚🧡

Sometimes breastfeeding starts with a pump. And sometimes, that pump is part of what helps you get to where you want to be.

If expressing has become part of your journey and you're not sure how to navigate it, the right support can make all the difference.

Breastfeeding is natural, but that doesn’t mean you have to figure it all out on your own.

For new mothers, having the right support can make all the difference, from understanding your baby’s latch and positioning to navigating pain, milk supply and those moments when you’re simply wondering, “Am I doing this right?”

Dr. Doreen shares why a lactation consultant can be an important part of your breastfeeding journey.

Sometimes, Mama, you get so used to the pain that you start believing you just have to live with it.

Angela had decided to endure the pain of breastfeeding; until she met Dr. Doreen.

What followed was patience, trying different approaches, checking in, and continuing to look for what would actually help her feel better. That’s what good support looks like. Not giving up when the first thing doesn’t work, but staying with Mama until something does.

We’re so grateful to Angela for trusting Naturally Nourish and for sharing her experience with us. 🧡

Breastfeeding may be natural, but struggling through pain alone doesn't have to be.

My baby is in the NICU. Can I still breastfeed?”

Yes.

❤️ And sometimes, the breastfeeding journey simply starts differently.

For some NICU babies, direct breastfeeding may not be possible right away. You may begin by expressing breastmilk and providing it for your baby in another way, while working with the healthcare team towards breastfeeding when your baby is ready.

Along the way, there may also be opportunities for skin-to-skin, expressing support, and learning what works for your baby.

So if your baby isn't at the breast yet, remember:
Not yet doesn't mean never. 🤱🏾

Your breastfeeding journey doesn't have to look like someone else's to still be a breastfeeding journey.

And you don't have to figure it out alone.

Dear Mama,

I know this isn't how you imagined feeding your baby.
Maybe you imagined holding them close.
Looking into their eyes.

Feeling those tiny hands against you.
Instead, you're expressing milk beside an incubator.
Watching someone else give your baby the milk you worked so hard to provide.
And perhaps sometimes it feels like you're missing something.

But Mama...
You are not missing from your baby's feeding story.
Your milk is there.
Your voice is there.
Your touch is there.
Your presence is there.

And when the day comes that your baby is ready to feed at your breast, you'll have another beautiful chapter to add.

Until then...

One expressed drop.
One touch.
One visit.
One day at a time.

You're still Mama.

And you're still showing up. ❤️

Sometimes the breastfeeding journey doesn't begin the way you imagined it would.
You imagined putting your baby to the breast, figuring things out together and eventually heading home.

Suddenly, breastfeeding may mean expressing milk instead. It may mean learning how to maintain your supply while you're separated from your baby. It may mean waiting patiently for the day baby is ready to latch.

This September, for NICU Awareness Month, we're making space for those mothers too.

Mama needs extra support.

If you're navigating breastfeeding or expressing milk during your NICU journey, you don't have to figure it all out alone.
