This weekend we celebrated World Breastfeeding Week by bringing together an incredible group of postpartum providers from across Houston.

IBCLCs, pediatric OTs, SLPs, physicians, postpartum doulas, chiropractors, mental health therapists, and La Leche League leaders gathered together with one shared goal: strengthening what works for families.

This year’s theme, Strengthening What Works, sparked meaningful conversations about how we can better support parents, not just individually, but together.

Everyone wrote down one thing they hope to strengthen in Houston. Some of the ideas included:
• Creating a village for new families
• Checking in with parents and having honest conversations about how they’re caring for themselves
• Caring for families equally before and after birth
• Supporting dads and partners so they can better support the mom and birth parent

It was inspiring to see so many people passionate about collaboration and committed to improving postpartum care in our community.

This was our first annual World Breastfeeding Week gathering, and we already can’t wait to continue these conversations next year. Here’s to building stronger connections, stronger communities, and stronger support for every family.

THANK YOU for showing up for our community!

Spring is doing its thing… and your baby’s brain is soaking it up ☀️🌿

Did you know your baby’s circadian rhythm (their internal day/night clock) is built, not born?
And one of the biggest drivers of that rhythm is daytime light exposure.

That means:
✨ getting outside during awake time
✨ letting naps happen in natural daylight (yes, even those stroller naps)
✨ helping their body learn the difference between day and night

It doesn’t have to be complicated - think front porch feeds, a walk around the block, or laying on a blanket in the yard.

And here in Houston… this is your window.
Before the heat hits and suddenly “outside” feels like a steam room 😅

So take advantage of these just right days.
Step outside, breathe a little deeper, and let your baby take in the world (and the sunlight) with you.

You’re not just getting fresh air -
You’re helping build their sleep from the ground up 💛

This one feels extra special 🧡

Receiving the Family Autonomy & Empowerment Award from TLC Doula Group is such an honor—because it reflects something I care deeply about:

✨ Families deserve to feel seen, heard, and supported
✨ Feeding decisions should be informed—not pressured
✨ Confidence is built through partnership, not perfection

To the doulas who continue to collaborate, refer, and support alongside me—thank you for trusting me with your families.

And to the parents finding their way in early feeding… I see you. This work can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone.

I’m here to walk with you 🤍
