✨ A simple positioning tip that can make breastfeeding feel more comfortable!

Worried that your baby’s nose is pressed into your breast while feeding? You don’t necessarily need to pull your breast away from their nose.

Instead, try bringing baby’s hips and bottom in closer to your body 🤱

When baby’s body comes in closer, their head naturally tips back slightly—helping create a little more space between their nose and your breast while still allowing them to maintain a deep latch.

Think: hips in → chin in → nose free👃✨

Such a small positioning adjustment, but it can make a big difference in helping you feel more comfortable and confident while feeding your baby.

💛 Save this post for future reference—you never know when this simple tip might come in handy!

🥣 When the bowl is just THAT good 😂

Starting solids is such an exciting milestone—but it can also feel a little overwhelming.

What foods should I offer? How much? Purées or baby-led weaning? What about allergens? How do I know my baby is ready?

Introducing solids isn’t just about how much food your baby actually eats. It’s about learning and exploring!❤️

Offering a variety of age-appropriate foods helps babies:
• Explore new tastes, smells and textures
• Practice important oral and feeding skills
• Develop hand-eye coordination and self-feeding skills
• Get important nutrients, including iron, as their needs increase
• Become familiar with family foods and mealtimes

And yes—sometimes “exploring” means wearing it, squishing it, throwing it…or licking the bowl clean 😂

There’s no need to have it all figured out on your own. I offer solids consultations to help families feel more confident as they move into this next stage—whether you’re interested in purées, baby-led weaning, or a combination of both 💙

Feeding your baby is a journey, and I’m here to support you beyond breastfeeding and bottles🤍

THE LATCH

What’s the deal with a good latch? Why does it matter so much? Quick break down ⬇️

1) NO pain! This is a pretty good reason. You will feel a pulling or tugging but not a pinch or a pain with a nice deep latch. It should NOT feel like you are nursing a little baby shark 🦈

2) Sends the right amount of signals to the moms brain to release lots of hormones to produce enough milk. A deep latch can REALLY impact milk supply 🧠🥛

3) Drains the breast easier, baby gets a full belly

Deep latch ➡️
more milk➡️
fuller belly➡️
happy baby➡️
no pain➡️ happy mom🤱

If the latch isn’t right, don’t suffer. Work with an IBCLC to help you get that deep latch you and your baby deserve 💙💗

Did you know babies usually show us they’re hungry before they start crying? 👶🤱

Learning your baby’s hunger cues can make feeding feel a little easier for both of you 👇❤️

🟢 Early hunger cues 👉 “I’m getting hungry!”
• Stirring or becoming more alert
• Opening their mouth
• Turning their head/rooting
• Bringing hands toward their mouth

🟡 Mid hunger cues 👉“I’m really hungry now!”
• Increased movement or squirming
• Stretching
• Hand sucking
• More active rooting/searching for the breast

🔴 Late hunger cues 👉 “Feed me NOW!”
• Fussing
• Frantic movements
• Crying
• Turning red or becoming difficult to settle

Crying is actually a late hunger cue. When possible, offering a feeding during those early cues can make it easier for baby to latch and feed calmly.

And remember👉 every baby is a little different. The more time you spend together, the easier it becomes to recognize your baby’s unique way of saying 👇

“I’m hungry!” ❤️

Oh don’t mind me cheesing with this cutie!!!

Sometimes I think being a lactation consultant looks like a pretty simple job from the outside. Help a baby latch. Talk about breastfeeding. Snuggle a few babies along the way 🤍

But there is so much more behind this work that people don’t see.

There are hours of continuing education and maintaining credentials. Fighting through ever-changing insurance policies so families can access the care they deserve. Advocating for the value of lactation care—and sometimes having to advocate for the value of my own expertise and credentials 👈

There are days of being pushed for time when I know a struggling family needs more than the minutes I’m given!!!! (Worst feeling ever!)

There is constantly trying to protect and support breastfeeding in a world where formula marketing is powerful and families still receive recommendations that can unintentionally work against their breastfeeding goals.

And then there is the emotional side.

I meet families during some of their most vulnerable moments. I see the tears, exhaustion, frustration and fear. I also get to see the determination. The tiny victories. The baby who finally latches after so much work. The parent who suddenly realizes, “We’re doing it.”

Babies like this little one remind me exactly why I keep doing it 🤍

This work can be challenging, frustrating and emotionally heavy—but it is also incredibly meaningful.

I wouldn’t trade being a lactation consultant for anything. Helping families feed their babies, supporting them through the hard moments, and watching their confidence grow will always be worth fighting for 🫶

One of my favorite moments from our recent breastfeeding class 😂🙌

When I needed a volunteer to demonstrate side-lying breastfeeding positioning, this dad was all in! 😂

I absolutely LOVE seeing dads and partners getting involved, asking questions, learning, and supporting their breastfeeding journey right alongside mom. ❤️

Breastfeeding may happen at the breast, but support from a partner can make such a difference.

Thanks for being such a great sport and giving us all a good laugh while we learned! 😂

✨ Going back to work doesn’t have to mean the end of your breastfeeding journey ✨

One of the biggest mistakes I see is waiting until the week before returning to work to start preparing. A little planning can make a huge difference!

A Back-to-Work Breastfeeding Consult can help you:

🤱 Protect your milk supply
🍼 Create a pumping schedule that fits your workday
👶 Help your baby adjust to bottles and a new caregiver
❄️ Learn how to build and store a milk stash (without feeling like you need a freezer full!)
💼 Feel confident returning to work while continuing to meet your breastfeeding goals

Every family is different, and having a personalized plan can reduce stress and make the transition much smoother—for both you and your baby.

If you’re planning to return to work in the next few weeks or months, now is the perfect time to prepare. I’d love to help you create a plan that works for your family.

📩 Send me a message or email [email protected] to schedule

Because returning to work and continuing to breastfeed is possible 💙

💙 World Breastfeeding Week 2026 💙

Every family deserves compassionate, evidence-based breastfeeding support.

This year’s theme reminds us to build on what already works—creating strong support systems that empower parents from pregnancy through every stage of their breastfeeding journey.

As an IBCLC, I have the privilege of walking alongside families during some of their most vulnerable and rewarding moments. Whether it’s helping a new baby latch, overcoming unexpected challenges, or simply offering reassurance, I’m continually reminded that support truly matters.

When families are supported, they gain confidence. Babies thrive.

This World Breastfeeding Week, let’s continue working together to ensure every family has access to the education, encouragement, and care they deserve.

💙 Happy World Breastfeeding Week!
