Milk Meet Ups are currently paused, but we want your feedback so that if we bring them back it’s the type of group that works best for YOU.

If you attended a Milk Meet Up in the last 12 months check your email. You received an anonymous survey to share your experience.

If you’ve been searching for a breastfeeding support group where you can meet other milk makers who are in this stage of life too, please let us know what you want from this group!

3️⃣Exclusive pumping tip #3:

splurge for the countertop dishwasher.

This is exactly what many of you suggested on my stories, and it’s no surprise!

⏰Less time washing bottles and pump parts means more time to allow your body to rest and heal, or to snuggle and bond with your baby.

💰Thank you for creating a discount code for 10% off of the KleanPal Pro bottle washer.

***comment “MOMCOZY” and I’ll send you the code!****

Sometimes moms choose the exclusive pumping life.

Other times the EP life chooses us.

There are many reasons why someone could be triple feeding or exclusively pumping when the original plan was just to latch baby:

💚NICU admission

💙premature baby

💜tongue ties not yet released

💛nipple damage from painful latching

🧡needing to boost supply if pumping is more effective at milk removal than baby

Over the next week I’ll be sharing my top 3️⃣ tips for survival on how to streamline feeds/pumps and even sneak in naps too! You can do this! 💪

Can you get a mammogram if you’re lactating? YES!

If symptoms, age, or family history support getting a mammogram please don’t delay until you’re done breastfeeding.

This important screening tool is life saving, and your health matters.

It took me 10 minutes out of my day, and parking was easy at Northridge. Thank you UVA!

Tips on how to get the best imaging if you’re breastfeeding:

1️⃣ bring baby and a helper so you can nurse baby right before going into your appointment. Baby cannot be in the room with you, but that’s where the helper comes in. Bring a hand pump just in case baby is distracted or doesn’t empty you well.

2️⃣bring a pump with you, and plan for a full pumping session right before your appointment time. There is a private lactation room on the main floor of UVA’s Northridge building, but pumping in your car is an option too. Do what works best for you. Use hands to massage breasts while pumping for extra milk removal, or hand express into your flanges for a few minutes after pumping.

⌛️the goal is to get as much milk out as possible before your imaging so that full milk ducts don’t block the view of breast tissue.

2 paws up for the MyBrestFriend pillow!

I love that this pillow:

1️⃣offers back support (get the deluxe version if you can!)

2️⃣ has a wipeable cover option (hello leaking everywhere in the first month! Hello spitty babies!)

3️⃣ has a buckle to keep the pillow close to your body, preventing baby from just sliding down between you and the pillow (like other U-shaped options I won’t name).

is the only brand of pillow I keep at the office, and you’re welcome to try it out next time you’re there!
