Alison shares her feeding journeys with her two kiddos with us. 💕
------------
Claire was born four months before the COVID-19 shutdowns. I felt so much comfort when she was in my arms and never liked passing her around. I was constantly nap trapped. Breastfeeding came relatively easy for us, knowing what I know now we definitely would have benefited from some extra help. We were never able to get her to take a bottle, and I ended up leaving a job I was not looking forward to going back to.

Becoming a new mom, I needed like-minded people in my corner: my husband to keep my nursing area stocked with snacks and to check in on me; my mom to remind me that I was doing a great job; my sisters to offer encouragement that things get easier; and my best friend to normalize safe bed sharing.

When Lucas came, I felt very confident in my parenting. I was more comfortable with passing him around and wore him all the time, which was necessary. I remember Claire watched a LOT of TV in the early days cue the mom guilt. I had a huge oversupply that led to mastitis, and I was able to donate a lot of that extra milk.

I am fortunate that I was able to nurse both of my babies for over two years.

📁 The 4th Trimester Files

Molly is taking you behind the scenes of her own fourth trimester with baby Claire. From birth to breastfeeding, pumping, sleep, recovery, and all the moments in between, she’ll be sharing the real, unfiltered experience of life with a newborn.

As lactation consultants, we spend our days supporting families through the fourth trimester. Now we’re inviting you into one of our own journeys because even with years of experience, every baby, every birth, and every postpartum story is unique.

File #18- Mental Health:

Mental health is a hugely important topic and something we take very seriously at Wisco. Thought I would share a little bit about my mental health journey since becoming a mom and how that has evolved and changed now that I’m a mama of two! For those of you who have gone back to work when your little person was a few months old, any tips? Feeling really anxious but know it’s just a few days a week I’ll be away from my little Claire bear! 🤍🐻

You’re not alone in this postpartum season. I’m right there with you! ❤️

Curious what a Craniosacral Therapy session with Jena actually looks like?

As our infant Occupational Therapist and Craniosacral Therapist, Jena takes a gentle, whole-body approach looking at how your baby's body, nervous system, and oral motor skills all work together to affect feeding, sleep, and comfort.

Families often come to her with things like difficulty latching, body tension, reflux, torticollis, or a hard time settling. Most families see progress within 3–6 sessions.

If something's felt off with your baby's feeding or comfort, Jena would love to help.

Meet our lactation student, Alison! You may see her in your visit with us in the Kenosha office or during a home visit in Kenosha or Racine County.

I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Speech Language Pathology and went on to work as a home visitor, supporting first time mom's. It is an honor to be part of a new parent’s village, to cheer them on as they reach their goals and empower them to trust their intuition. My husband and I enjoy spending our time exploring museums, parks and libraries with our daughter and son.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

🎓 Baby M’s Graduation!💕

When baby M came to us, she was struggling to stay latched while nursing. Her mom had experienced low milk supply and tongue and lip ties with her first baby, which ultimately led to exclusively pumping.

This time, mom was determined to have a different experience. She wanted to breastfeed M and avoid exclusively pumping and she was ready to put in the work to make that happen. ❤️

When we first met M, we found body tension, suspected oral restrictions, and low suction strength. Before moving forward with a release, M needed time to work on her oral function and body tension.

M ultimately had releases of her tongue, upper lip, and both buccal ties. Following the procedure, mom and baby worked hard on oral exercises, latch practice, and continued chiropractic care to support baby’s function and feeding.

And today, they GRADUATED!🎉

Baby M now has a much-improved latch, is no longer sliding off the ni**le, mom is comfortable and pain-free while nursing, and M is gaining weight well.

This is exactly what we love about lactation care, supporting the whole feeding journey and meeting each family where they are. This mama worked incredibly hard for the feeding experience she wanted, and we are so proud of both of them!

Congratulations! 💕🎓 We are cheering you on as you continue this journey together!

"My daughter and I have been working with Wisco Lactation for a few months and would recommend them a million times! We’ve worked with different consultants: Jasmine, Molly, and Beth, as well as with their OT, Julia. My daughter started our breastfeeding journey having to rely on a ni**le shield. Through Wisco’s advice, we were able to remove the shield through repositioning and strengthening exercises. My daughter, however, began to fall off of her growth curve and was pretty fussy. After examining her mouth, Jasmine and Beth suspected she may have tongue and lip ties, restricting her ability to pull milk out. They provided us with exercises we could do, suggested supplementing with pumped breastmilk, and gave us dentist recommendations. After it was confirmed by the dentist and we had the ties released, we continued to meet with Beth and began follow up work with Julia. My daughter is 6 1/2 weeks post-procedure and is thriving! She is back on a growth curve, is much happier in general, and breastfeeding is much more comfortable. We truthfully would have given up months ago had I not sought out the help of Wisco. The consultants and Julia are truly wonderful and their knowledge is invaluable!"

"Alexiyah is absolutely incredible! Not only was she a huge support but also advocated for us as much as she possibly could! I'd recommend her care to anyone, my breastfeeding journey wouldn't be what it is today if not for her!!"

"I am only on my second session with Wisco Lactation, and I just wish I did it sooner. My twins are three months and we’ve been struggling a little bit with latch and weight gain. Upon my Lactation visit, we learned that the babes aren’t extremely efficient and there were some factors that played in that we’re not in favor for my babes. We are slowly, but surely working on the concerns, my babes are gaining weight and are happier than they ever have been.

On my first visit I also learned very quickly that I have been using the wrong fl**ge size, I’ve been using the size 24 that was provided by my mom cozy pumps and I was sized I’m actually a 13! Since switching fl**ge size my milk production has increased a significant amount, and pumping is no longer dreadful and painful!!

I truly could not recommend Wisco Lactation enough."

"I first saw Alexiyah after I had three rounds of mastitis in a few weeks. 😫 She provided great, helpful and up to date information on mastitis protocols and helped me find why this kept happening. She helped fit me in a proper fl**ge size (chances are you are NOT the size that comes with your pump!!!!) We then saw her again after my son was refusing bottles. She helped us find a bottle that he would take. It was SO nice that they have bottles to try vs buying a bunch that might not work!! I cannot recommend Alexiyah in the Madison location enough!!"

"What an incredible impact Wisco Lactation has made on my breastfeeding journey. I am a first time mom and was really struggling breastfeeding and needed extra help and support. Wisco Lactation was able to get me an appointment extremely quick which I really appreciated. From my first meeting with Dana I was very impressed with her extensive knowledge and understanding of breastfeeding. Whether it was latching issues, concerns about my milk supply, questions about pumping, you name it, and Dana had an answer. She was empathic, kind, and patient, making me feel supported rather than alone in my struggles. When I felt overwhelmed, she offered practical solutions and reassurance, guiding me through each bump in the road with her expertise. I am eternally grateful to Dana and Ashleigh for the invaluable role they played in my breastfeeding journey. Breastfeeding at first felt like an uphill battle, but with their knowledge and encouragement I was able to learn how to enjoy this journey. What once seemed impossible is now one of my most cherished parts of motherhood. I am so thankful for Wisco Lactation!"
