Partners and support people: you don’t have to make milk to make a difference. Wash feeding supplies according to their instructions, refill the water, bring a snack, or take care of the next diaper. Ask, “What would help right now?” Sometimes the most useful support is beautifully ordinary.

Nursing, pumping, combination feeding, or changing direction—you deserve thoughtful support. We can talk through what is working, what feels hard, and what you want next, then make a realistic plan for you and your baby. lindseylactation.com

I love how creative people can be!

You don’t need to wait for a feeding challenge to ask questions. A prenatal visit is a chance to talk about the early days, your feeding goals, pumping, and any concerns specific to you. No perfect plan required—just room to prepare. Learn more at lindseylactation.com.

Returning to work brings enough logistics. Feeding can have a plan, too. Practice with your pump, talk through your schedule and milk storage, and give your baby time to learn bottle feeding. I can help you work through pumping and feeding questions before your first day back. In-home and virtual appointments: lindseylactation.com.

Finishing every ounce isn’t the goal. Hold your baby close, allow breaks, and watch for fullness cues—like turning away or stopping sucking. You can stop even when there’s milk left. Responsive feeding matters whether the bottle contains breast milk or formula.

Expecting twins or triplets? 💕

I’m working toward my Newborn Care Specialist certification and am offering discounted overnight newborn care support to families of multiples as I complete my required hands-on hours.

If you’re interested in extra support after your babies arrive, please email me to learn more! Feel free to share with a family who may be interested.

Your coffee doesn’t automatically need to go. CDC considers about 300 mg of caffeine or less per day a low-to-moderate intake during breastfeeding. Coffee sizes and strengths vary, and tea, chocolate, and energy drinks count too. Younger newborns and premature babies process caffeine more slowly, so a lower intake may be helpful.

Your milk deserves a little fridge space.
A little fridge reminder: freshly expressed breast milk can be refrigerated for up to 4 days at 40°F (4°C) or colder. Store it toward the back, label the date, and freeze it promptly if you won’t use it within that window. Save this for your next pumping session.

October is here and this week is Canada’s National Breastfeeding Week

Did you know that even one drop of colostrum (early human milk) can boost your baby’s health?

Colostrum is known as ‘liquid gold’ because it's full of antibodies and healthy bacteria that strengthen your baby’s immune system (especially important for premature babies in the NICU).

If your baby can't feed at the breast/chest yet, you can still express colostrum and ask your NICU nurse or lactation consultant about placing those drops in your baby’s mouth.

Breastmilk/human milk
