You know how to help the baby. That was never the problem.

The problem is everything nobody trained you for: the LLC, the EIN and NPI, the website, the systems, and the big one — billing insurance.

That’s the whole reason I built Private Practice Success 2.0. Not just a better course — the entire path, in order:

Decide → Build → Set Up → Launch → Run → Grow

Insurance Billing Mastery is included, so the part that keeps most IBCLCs stuck in cash-pay finally makes sense.

And for the next few weeks, you’re not doing it alone. Use SALTY20 at checkout for 20% off plus the community + monthly live Zoom calls free. Window closes July 31.

If “someday I’ll start my practice” has been living in your head rent-free — comment PATH or tap the link in my bio. 🤍

Not all research is created equal. The study-types ladder — and when each rung actually matters in practice.

Bottom rungs (case reports, case series, cross-sectional studies) tell you "this exists" and "how common it is" — they don't tell you "this causes that."

Top rungs (cohort, RCT, systematic review) get progressively better at causal claims.

Where it gets nuanced for lactation: many of our highest-impact questions can't ethically be answered with RCTs. So we lean heavier on well-designed observational research — and we have to learn to read it well.

Save this. Pull it out next time "study says…" shows up in your feed.

The U.S. breastfeeding equity gap isn't a story about preference. It's a story about systems.

Initiation rates are relatively close across racial groups. Continuation rates aren't. The gap widens steadily over the first 6 months — and the biggest single driver is structural.

What this means for us in the room: name the system. Don't moralize about feeding decisions made inside constraints we wouldn't accept for ourselves.

Equity-centered practice is working on the system AND in the room — both, not one instead of the other.

Confidence intervals are the most useful number in a research paper. Most of us learned to skim past them.

A 95% CI tells you the range of plausible values for the true effect — given the data. It doesn't promise where the truth IS; it brackets where it plausibly could be.

The two things to look at:
· Does the CI cross zero (for differences) or one (for ratios)?
· Is the WHOLE CI in a range that matters clinically?

Save this. Look at the next paper's CI before its p-value.
