I struggle with responding to texts and calls sometimes. Being human means I don’t have to get it right all the time - but I am just in love with this family of mine, and with the work I do. When I don’t reply, please know that I am being present with another baby, or with my husband and children. You are important to me, and I can’t wait to see you again!

Your feeding journey with your baby is your own. You choose how long to breastfeed/chestfeed, make milk, pump. Short term goals are the best way to check yourself. Get through this week and see how you feel. Give it till the end of the month and check in again. The choice is always yours. There is no right or wrong, only what is best for your family. Essential Lactation Support is here for you.

The days are short but the hours can feel very long. But if the baby has to be fed, you can do it. And your feeding journey is your own. You decide how long to make milk, breastfeed/chestfeeed, pump. Short term goals are the answer. Maybe you give yourself to the end of the week, or to the end of the month. See how yo feel then, and adjust your expectations and your timeline. There is no right or wrong, there is only what is best for you and your family. Essential Lactation Support is here for you.

I don’t hate formula. (But I do hate formula marketing.)In order to keep it safe and standardized, formula only has one flavor. It’s the same every time. Breastmilk, on the other hand, takes on the flavor of whatever the breastfeeding parent is consuming. So, hopefully it’s a rainbow of flavors! As lovely as it is to think that the feeding parent is eating a wide variety of foods and getting all of the nutrients from their diet, the jig is up. We know that in the postpartum recovery period everything is hard. But even when the feeding parent isn’t consuming the most ideal diet, it’s still better than a single flavor! And every drop of breastmilk counts toward giving your baby the experience of different flavors. No perfect diet is necessary to offer perfect human milk! And all of this can come into play when you start introducing solids ❤️

Go ahead and read that again. Not ACTUAL low milk supply, but PERCEIVED low milk supply. We quit because we think we don’t have enough. We don’t FEEL like we have enough. We might not feel like we ARE enough. Most birth parents make enough milk. Not deep freezers full of extra milk, but enough for the baby they gave birth to. Most birth parents need education and support to continue making enough milk when the world is saying” Do more, be more, make more”. We already have enough, and we are enough. We just need support.

I worked with a friend for the first time a couple of weeks ago and she was surprised at my light hearted take on the complexity of breastfeeding. Sometimes you have to take a step back and look at the big picture. Stop examining the details. Pick up a paddle and have a laugh.

What an incredible week- and my busiest one to date! I had the pleasure of working with 13 families this week, and it was such a joy. Not so long ago I wondered if I could make this practice work, and over the last 6 years I have figured out how. Thanks so much to all the families who’ve welcomed me into your homes and allowed me to hold you and your babies. I’m so very thankful for each one of you!
