Loyal Lactation

It’s virtual day!! If you notice the set up looks a little different it’s because my little people are out for the summer.

If you need anything breastfeeding related & you’re not in my service area book me virtually. 🥰

We used a clean syringe and added 1-2 drops of freshly expressed milk per nostril & suctioned her out with a bulb syringe. She sounded so much better and was able to breathe for the first time in a few days. 🥰

Would you try this method?

📝Some medical professionals advise against this method, stating that breast milk is not sterile and could potentially introduce bacteria to the nasal cavity, increasing the risk of infection. But I find the benefits of the antibodies far outweigh the “risk” in healthy babies.

A release is only successful if feeding improves.

An IBCLC looks at the whole picture:
Is baby transferring milk better?
Is breastfeeding less painful?
Is weight gain improving?
Is bottle feeding easier?
Is parent stress decreasing?

Y’all please stop it! Nothing you eat or drink will magically make you make more milk. If you drank xyz and noticed you got more milk you were probably dehydrated. If you ate xyz and saw an increase in milk you probably needed a caloric boost.

Want to increase your supply? First start off by understanding what a normal supply is! Not what you see on TT from the pump & pour videos. But actually understand newborn stomach size & normal output.

Book a lactation consultant and let her assess you for any issue that could be causing a dip.

Regularly emptying your breast and frequently skin to skin, eating a balanced diet & staying hydrated is all you need for a boost.

Another day of improving metro Atlantas breastfeeding rates by doing home visits and supporting these moms in need. 🥰

I’ve been getting more and more clients who don’t consent to being filmed so if you’re wondering why I haven’t been showing as much just know I’m still working.

Book your visit today. Looking forward to working with you on your journey.

Not all pacifiers are breastfeeding-friendly!

As an IBCLC, one of the reasons I recommend the in my practice because it was designed to support a more natural sucking pattern instead of forcing a shallow latch.

✨ Ultra-soft silicone
✨ Wide base for a deeper latch
✨ Encourages active sucking
✨ Designed with breastfeeding in mind

The Ninni requires baby to actively suck to keep it in just like at the breast.

I firmly believe pacifiers should support feeding skills, not work against them 🤎

Have you tried the Ninni yet? Tell me your experience below ⬇️

I’m so proud of both of us 🥰
