Breastfeeding for a Sustainable Start in Life: Strengthen What Works

At Nourish and Nurture, we believe every family deserves the support, education, and compassionate care needed to reach their infant feeding goals.

Breastfeeding is more than nourishment—it promotes lifelong health for babies and mothers, strengthens families, and is one of the most sustainable ways to give children a healthy start in life. But successful breastfeeding doesn’t happen by chance. It happens when communities invest in what works: skilled lactation care, supportive healthcare providers, family-centered policies, and access to evidence-based resources.

This World Breastfeeding Week, we celebrate every family’s unique feeding journey while advocating for stronger systems that ensure every parent has access to the support they deserve.

Together, let’s strengthen what works by:
🤱 Supporting families with evidence-based lactation care
💚 Expanding access to International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs)
🏥 Building breastfeeding-friendly healthcare and workplaces
🌍 Investing in healthier families and a more sustainable future

Every feeding journey matters. Every family deserves support. Together, we can create a healthier beginning for the next generation.

Happy World Breastfeeding Week!

⚠️ ABM community — this one is urgent.

On September 1, UnitedHealthcare is changing how it reimburses lactation care. The new policy will only pay for one session per visit and will no longer cover claims billed for the infant, effectively cutting reimbursement for dyad care.

This impacts IBCLCs, physicians, and most importantly, the families who depend on covered lactation support during the most critical weeks postpartum.
The good news? There's still time to push back, and there are four letter templates ready to go for providers, parents, and employers.

Read the full breakdown and take action before September 1. https://paperlesslactation.com/blog/fight-uhc/

Breastfeeding Myth or Fact? 🤔 | – Week 2

This week, we’re tackling three of the most common breastfeeding myths:

🍷 “You can’t breastfeed if you’ve had a drink.”
🍪 “Lactation teas and cookies will increase your milk supply.”
🍼 “If your baby wants to nurse often, you don’t have enough milk.”

These are myths that many parents hear from family, friends, and even social media—but the facts are often much different.

Evidence-based information can help you make confident decisions and avoid unnecessary stress during your breastfeeding journey. Every parent and every baby is different, and understanding what’s normal can make all the difference.

Breastfeeding Myth or Fact? 🤔

Be on the lookout for over the next 4 weeks as we separate common breastfeeding myths from evidence-based facts.

There’s no shortage of breastfeeding advice—but not all of it is accurate. Misinformation can leave parents feeling confused, discouraged, and questioning their instincts.

The truth is, breastfeeding is a learned skill, and every parent and baby are unique. Whether you’re experiencing pain, worried about milk supply, navigating pumping, or simply wondering if breastfeeding is going well, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Do I Really Need a Lactation Consultant? 👩🏽‍🍼

The best time to ask for help is before small concerns become bigger challenges. You don’t have to figure it out alone.
