Your baby doesn’t hate tummy time… they just need a little help finding a position where they can actually succeed. 💚

Look at the difference a small change made for this 6-week-old. 👀

By adding a rolled towel under the chest and bringing the arms into a more supportive position, we gave baby a better base to work from—and suddenly there was much more motivation and opportunity to lift that little head!

But why am I working on tummy time during a lactation visit? 🤱

Because as an IBCLC and Qualified Tummy Time Instructor, I’m looking at feeding as a whole-body function.

Feeding doesn’t happen with just the mouth. Head and neck control, jaw strength, trunk strength, body positioning, movement patterns, and oral-motor function all work together. What I see in a baby’s body can give me important information about what may also be happening at the breast or bottle.

That’s why sometimes our lactation visits include more than working on latch. We may work on oral function, positioning, movement, tummy time, and other strategies that support the baby as a whole.

✨ Sometimes the smallest adjustment helps us see what a baby is capable of when we give their body the right support.

Tummy time isn’t separate from feeding development—it is just another piece of the puzzle. 💚

💩 Not every “weird” baby p**p color is a problem… but there are a few that make me pay attention FAST. 👀

Yellow? 💛
Green? 💚
Brown? 🤎
Red? ❤️
Black? 🖤

Here’s the thing: color alone doesn’t tell the whole story.

I’m looking at the diaper alongside the baby’s age, feeding history, milk intake and transfer, weight gain, symptoms, and overall feeding picture.

💚 Green p**p? It can happen for several reasons and does NOT automatically mean “foremilk/hindmilk imbalance” or that something is wrong with your milk.

💛 Yellow/seedy p**p? Typical newborn p**p. Specially breastfed babies.

🤎 Brown p**p? Can be completely normal depending on age and what baby is eating.

❤️ Red p**p? May indicate blood and deserves a closer look.

🖤 Black/tarry p**p? Normal during the meconium stage right after birth—but after that early newborn period, it warrants prompt medical evaluation.

The diaper gives us clues.
It doesn’t give us the whole diagnosis.

And sometimes what’s happening in that diaper is one more piece of the puzzle when we’re trying to understand feeding, milk transfer, weight gain, and how baby is doing overall. 🌱

👇 Which p**p color has sent YOU straight to Google? 😂

At first, so much of breastfeeding can feel like numbers. 🤍

How often did they feed?
How long were they on the breast?
How many ounces did they get?
Are they gaining enough?

And yes—those things matter.

But somewhere along the way, breastfeeding can become so much more than a way to feed your baby.

It can become comfort. Connection. Regulation. Reassurance. A familiar place to settle when the world feels a little too big. 🥹

As an IBCLC, I care deeply about milk transfer, feeding efficiency, growth, supply, and function—but I also never want us to lose sight of the relationship happening between you and your baby.

Because sometimes a feeding is about getting enough milk.

And sometimes… it’s also about being home. ❤️🌱

What do breastfeeding, oral function, and whole-body movement have to do with each other? 👀

A LOT more than most parents realize.

Feeding is a whole-body skill. Your baby doesn’t breastfeed with just their mouth.

The tongue, lips and jaw need to work together. Baby needs stability and mobility through the head, neck and body. Sucking, swallowing and breathing need to coordinate. And all of those pieces have to come together efficiently during a feed.

That’s why lactation support can look like more than simply adjusting a latch.

Sometimes we’re working on oral function. Sometimes we’re using movement, positioning or tummy time to support the body. Sometimes we’re making changes directly at the breast.

And sometimes we’re doing a little bit of ALL of it. 💚

Because when feeding is challenging, I don’t want to look at one isolated piece.

I want to understand how the whole baby is functioning during feeding.

The latch is important—but it’s only one piece of a much bigger picture.

Most parents think that by 4 weeks postpartum, breastfeeding should already feel “figured out.”

But many are still wondering:
🤍 Is my baby getting enough milk?
🤍 Is the latch actually effective?
🤍 Is my baby transferring enough milk?
🤍 Is their weight gain on track?
🤍 Is it supposed to hurt this much?

The truth is, you shouldn’t have to guess.

A baby can appear to latch well and still not transfer milk efficiently. Likewise, a baby can seem fussy at the breast for many different reasons. The only way to truly understand what’s happening is with a thorough feeding assessment.

During a lactation consultation, we don’t just watch a feeding—we evaluate positioning, latch, milk transfer with a weighted feed when appropriate, your baby’s oral function, feeding behaviors, and your breastfeeding goals so you leave with clear answers and a personalized plan.

If breastfeeding is leaving you with more questions than confidence, you don’t have to figure it out alone. 💚

Not every bottle supports the way babies are designed to feed.

As an IBCLC, I’m looking beyond the brand. I’m looking at how a bottle influences oral motor function, tongue movement, latch quality, swallowing mechanics, flow rates, and overall feeding efficiency.

The bottles I reach for most often are:
💚 Pigeon
💚 Lansinoh
💚 Gulicola

I like these because they generally encourage:
✔️ Better tongue movement and oral function
✔️ A deeper, more functional latch
✔️ More coordinated sucking, swallowing, and breathing
✔️ Greater comfort during feeds
✔️ Feeding patterns that can better support babies who are breastfeeding.

Of course, no bottle is the right fit for every baby. A baby’s anatomy, oral function, feeding skills, and individual needs all matter. That’s why bottle selection should never be based on popularity alone.

What bottle is your baby using, and how is feeding going? I’d love to hear your experience in the comments. 💚👇

When parents hear the words “oral assessment,” they often think we’re simply checking for a tongue tie.

But that’s only part of the picture.

Anatomy tells us what we see. Function tells us how your baby’s mouth actually works during feeding. Both matter, and one without the other rarely gives the full story.

As an IBCLC, I’m not just looking inside your baby’s mouth. I’m assessing how the tongue, lips, jaw, palate, sucking patterns, maternal supply regulation, feeding efficiency, and the dyad relationship are working together as a whole during feeding—and how those findings relate to latch, milk transfer, maternal comfort, and your baby’s feeding efficiency.

Two babies can have very similar anatomy but completely different feeding outcomes because function is different.

That’s why a comprehensive feeding assessment is about more than identifying anatomy. It’s about understanding how everything works together so families can make informed decisions about the next steps.

Sometimes, the biggest clues aren’t what we see—they’re how the body functions.
