These sweet babies and their mamas joined the Milk Meet Up on Friday, and we had a chance to talk about

πŸ’›returning to work- how to schlep everything back to the office, or how to manage when you’re a road warrior and travel a lot

πŸ’šnursing in a baby carrier- it’s an advanced move but totally do-able if you have the right carrier. Happy to loan out a few carriers from our lending library!

πŸ’œfussy feeds- if and when to cut out things from your diet, and how to know if it’s helping

Thank you to the sweet babies and their mamas who joined us for Milk Meet Up today.

We beat the heat and chatted about:

πŸ’™tongue ties- are these real? Is getting a release just for mom’s comfort? Where to go if you get it done?

πŸ’›clogged ducts and mastitis- why do these happen around the holidays? How to know if you have this? What makes you prone to getting this? Where can you go for therapeutic ultrasound if this happens?

🧑dropping a pump session- Is there one way to drop a pump session or options? Is it ok to combo feed? Does everyone else hate their wearable pump too?

Thankful for these moments where moms can share what’s working for them, what they have learned in the weeks and months and years as a parent, and get a fresh perspective, including re-naming a β€œjust-enougher” as a β€œright amount-er” or β€œperfect pour”

See you next week!

β˜”οΈThanks to all the folks who came out today, even in the rain!

We loved catching up with colleagues, and seeing some beautiful bellies and babies.

Charlottesville is a beautiful little community, and we are so thankful to be part of the birth and baby crew here. Blue Ridge Health District

Sometimes moms choose the exclusive pumping life.

Other times the EP life chooses us.

There are many reasons why someone could be triple feeding or exclusively pumping when the original plan was just to latch baby:

πŸ’šNICU admission

πŸ’™premature baby

πŸ’œtongue ties not yet released

πŸ’›nipple damage from painful latching

🧑needing to boost supply if pumping is more effective at milk removal than baby

Over the next week I’ll be sharing my top 3️⃣ tips for survival on how to streamline feeds/pumps and even sneak in naps too! You can do this! πŸ’ͺ
