The Hollidays can be a struggle especially for breastfeeding mothers that may get judgement or lots of unsolicited advice. Many moms experience a drop in supply during this time due to more frequent separation from their baby as family members take turns holding baby. Be strong, ask for help when needed and remember its ok to say no.

For many families getting together with relatives and friends to celebrate special days plays an important part in their lives. If a new baby has joined the family it’s exciting to introduce the new addition to others or for them to see how your children are growing. However, while friends and rel...

Even though you may feel like you're starving when breastfeeding you actually only need an additional 200 calories a day. I know this may not be what you wanted to hear. Its ok though you are feeding a human so eat whatever you want! 😁😉

For the last few years in talking with other IBCLC's about the effects of COVID and breastfeeding rates one thing has been clear, the limited visitation allowed after birth lead to increased rates of breastfeeding success. It's imperative that parents are allowed time to bond with baby and practice breastfeeding. Having an audience can be stressful for a new mother as she is trying to learn a new skill and respond to her baby. While family and friends almost always have good intentions it's really best to save the visits until a later date when parents are ready. It's ok to tell family lovingly that they can see the baby once you get home. Maybe also suggest they bring a meal or do some laundry for you too. The best place for baby after birth is on moms chest skin to skin, uninterrupted.

Lets talk about that second night... We warn moms about it in the hospital setting all the time. Its best to tell visitors to STAY HOME that second day so you can rest up and relax in order to prep for that second night with baby.

You've made it through your first 24 hours as a new mom. Maybe you have other children, but you are a new mom all over again... and now it’s your baby's second night. All of a sudden, your little one discovers that he's no longer back in the warmth and comfort – though a bit crowded – womb whe...
