Breastfeeding can feel really awkward at first. Baby is learning to suck, swallow, and breathe and you are learning to get your breast tissue into a little tiny mouth for nourishment over and over again.

This takes a lot of coordination between the two of you.

Please know that the first six weeks is a time of learning for the both of you and that things will start to feel better by eight weeks. By 3 months, SO MUCH BETTER.

If you are:

•Having a lot of pain throughout the entire feeding
•Your ni***es are cracked and bleeding
•Baby won’t latch consistently
•You are getting mastitis over and over
•Your baby is losing weight

These things ARE NOT normal and I would recommend a lactation visit.

Nourish Lactation Services offers home visits within the West Michigan area helping families to reach their breastfeeding goals. Phone consults also available.

I am not a believer in pain-free . I do believe it exists for SOME …but it is rare. In order to get that baby out of your body, it has to expand and open in ways that are other-worldly. Why wouldn’t those sensations be intense?

Pain, whether emotional or physical, is generally a message to our brain to respond to something that is impacting our well-being. It makes complete sense from a very instinctive, primordial level, to be afraid of pain. By responding to it, it keeps us safe. But in -try to remember it’s GOOD, POWERFUL, and will bring you your . 📸

I LOVE when it’s time for the Newborn Care and Comfort class. So much of our is about managing labor and birth…but this class is about savoring the slower days after your baby arrives earthside.

We cover carriers, special magic baby sways, how crying is communication, creating a womb like environment and transitioning to .

Birth is generally 1 magic day. Caring for you baby is many. ✨🌈

One of the greatest things I get to witness is couples drawing closer together ♥️♥️as they are preparing for the birth of their baby.
