If you can’t be honest with me because I’ve convinced you, by my actions or my attitude, that I’ll judge you for the choices you make…I need to find a new job.

While providers should 100% tell people the risks and benefits of the choices they’re making,(that’s informed consent folks!) if you don’t even feel safe enough to be honest we’re already not starting from a great place.

My care starts from a place of mutual trust. You trust me to have the knowledge and skills to give you the best care possible and I trust you to make the choices that work best for your family.

Even the best plan of care on earth is useless if your patient isn’t being honest with you or isn’t willing to do anything in it.

Have you ever felt less than supported by a clinician postpartum? Tell me about it below 👇🏻

Your baby no longer eats in the middle of the night.

They’re awake anyway.

Now what??

Go in. Hold your baby. Snuggle.

Check that everything is good to go. Address things that aren’t.

Let them calm down and co-regulate with you. Then, put them back down awake and leave the room.

This does multiple things:

First, it reassures your baby that you’ll respond to their cries.

Second, if successful, your baby is falling asleep in their own sleep space. The place you, ideally, expect them to stay all night.

Also, keep in mind that progress here isn’t linear. This might work really well…until it seems like it doesn’t. Being consistent is the key.

The more inconsistent you are, the harder it will be for your baby to pick up what you’re putting down.

Progress, like most things in life, isn’t linear.

Got questions? I got answers, so drop ‘em below! 👇🏻

A nice, deep latch does more than make breastfeeding feel better.
✨ Helps keep you comfortable
✨ Allows your baby to transfer milk more efficiently
✨ Makes those early days far more manageable

Pain with breastfeeding is common, but it isn't something you have to simply push through. There are often underlying reasons, and getting the right assessment early can make a big difference.

Is it a good idea to catch letdown with a haakaa?

In short, probably not. Especially if you lean towards an oversupply.

Haakaa and others DO make passive collection devices and I’m all for those.

I know having too much milk sounds like a dream to some, but trust me, it leads to so many more problems than it’s worth.

Feeling overwhelmed by sleep training advice?

You're not alone! The internet is LOUD. Especially when it comes to our choices as parents.

You should know that there's no evidence that sleep training harms attachment or causes harm.

It's all about what works best for your family.

Whether you choose to sleep train or not, it's your decision, and that's perfectly okay.

Don't let opinions and rage bait sway you—trust your instincts.

You and your goals define success. Not me and definitely not the internet.

You can book with me directly at lexi-luptak.themamacoach.com/sleep or DM for more info.

Overall, a nice deep latch does several things.

“What if you have twins? It’s too hard to feed on demand.” You’re right — it is. So here’s what we actually do: when one
wakes to eat, you wake the other and feed them together. The survival math is real (every 2 hours beats every single hour).
One exception: never wake a preemie just for routine — your pediatrician’s feeding plan always wins. Shoutout to , .lexiluptak , and for giving amazing postpartum education and advice! Check them out!

Are you watching the clock… or watching your baby? 🍼

Responsive feeding was one of the biggest shifts I made as a mom, and honestly it took me a few kids to really lean into it. We’re so conditioned to track ounces and watch the time that we sometimes stop listening to the little person right in front of us.

Your baby is communicating with you from day one. Those little hands at their mouth, the rooting, the turning away when they’ve had enough. That’s their language, and you get to learn it.

When we feed responsively, we’re not just filling tummies. We’re building trust, supporting their nervous system, and honestly making feeding a whole lot less stressful for ourselves too.

As a nurse and a mom of five, this is one of the first things I talk about with the families I work with. It sounds simple, but having someone walk you through what to actually look for makes a world of difference.

If you’re in that newborn haze wondering if your baby is eating enough, or why they seem hungry again already, I’d love to help. Send me a message or find the link in my bio. 🤍

People get big mad when we talk supplementation.

A few things to consider though-

Sometimes, supplementation is the right call.

It doesn’t have to be forever.

It’s ok to ask clarifying questions of the provider making the recommendation.

What’s right for your baby and what’s right for another aren’t the same. Don’t let the internet kill your sense of nuance.

Did you have to supplement? Let’s chat about it below 👇🏻

If your baby is struggling to nurse, please hear this first: it’s not a failure—it’s information. 💛

I want you to know there are real, valid reasons feeding can feel hard:

✨ Babies who had a NICU stay may have learned to feed differently (bottles, tubes, or timed feeds), making the breast feel unfamiliar at first.
✨ Premature or smaller babies can tire easily and may not yet have the strength or coordination to latch and stay latched.
✨ Birth interventions, medications, or a long labor can leave both mom and baby needing extra time to adjust.
✨ Oral ties (like tongue or lip ties) or body tension can affect how a baby latches and transfers milk.
✨ Some babies just need time and practice—feeding is a learned skill, not an automatic one.

And for moms—pain, delayed milk coming in, or feeling overwhelmed can all be part of this too.

None of this means you’re doing anything wrong.

It means you and your baby might need support, guidance, and space to figure it out together.

You deserve help. Your baby is learning. And this chapter—however it looks—is still a story of love and care.
