Why are tools like bottles frowned upon in breastfeeding?

If you want to hang a piece of art, you need to use a tool.
If you want to mow your lawn, you’ll use a tool.
If you need to cut a piece of wood in half, you’ll use a saw.

We’re not in caveman days anymore.

Let’s not be so all-or-nothing about it!

Breastfeeding looks different to everybody. There is no one way to feed and nurture your baby.

Reach out if you’d like support with feeding and nurturing your baby, your way.

The phrase ‘fed is best’ doesn’t tell the whole story. Feeding isn’t just about nutrition—it’s about connection, regulation, and development.

Fed is mandatory, its entry level. It’s not best. We want our babies to thrive, not just survive.

A tongue tie release is an important step, but it's not the complete solution many expect it to be. The procedure works best as part of a comprehensive approach that includes proper pre and aftercare, feeding support, and often bodywork. It's the start of your journey toward improved feeding, not the end.
