God designed your body with wisdom and purpose. 🤍

But we also live in a broken world where stress, nutrition, environmental factors, and the effects of sin can impact our health and breastfeeding journeys.

If you’ve struggled to breastfeed, I want you to hear this: **You are NOT a failure.** ❤️

God created your body with incredible purpose, and He created your baby wonderfully and beautifully. But that doesn’t mean we won’t face challenges in a fallen world.

In my upcoming Christ-centered prenatal breastfeeding course, we’ll talk honestly about these realities, how to prepare for breastfeeding, and the hope and help we can hold onto through it all.

✨ Follow along and join my waitlist to be the first to know when my course launches!

What if the thing making breastfeeding harder is something you haven’t thought to look at?

A mom brought her baby in because he was screaming whenever she tried to bring him to the breast. After seeing the chiropractor that morning, he breastfed well. But when they returned a couple of hours later, the same struggle was back.

We looked at how he was sitting in his car seat and noticed a layer of padding behind his neck that appeared to push his head forward. After checking the seat’s instructions, we removed that layer. Mom later shared that he continued breastfeeding comfortably.

Does that mean every breastfeeding struggle is caused by a car seat? Of course not. But it’s a reminder to look at the *whole picture* when a baby is having trouble feeding.

If your baby suddenly cries, arches, or refuses the breast, let’s figure out what’s going on together. And before changing any car seat padding or inserts, always check the manufacturer’s instructions or ask a certified child passenger safety technician.

You researched the stroller, compared bottles, chose the pacifiers, and spent hours putting together the perfect nursery… but have you prepared for how you’ll feed your baby?

Those things can be helpful, but they’re secondary. If you’re planning to breastfeed, one of the most important things you can do before your baby arrives is build your support team.

Most parents choose a pediatrician before birth. You don’t wait until your baby is sick and then desperately start searching for one—so why wait until breastfeeding is painful, your baby isn’t gaining well, or you’re worried about your milk supply to find a lactation consultant?

Save the name and contact information of an IBCLC now. Even better, connect with one prenatally so you already know who to call if you need help.

My upcoming prenatal breastfeeding course, **Called to Nourish**, will help you prepare for more than the picture-perfect nursery. You’ll learn what to expect, how breastfeeding works, what warning signs to watch for, and how to have support ready before you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and scrambling for answers.

Please don’t wait until you’re struggling and searching for help out of desperation. Contact me before your baby arrives so we can help you feel informed, supported, and truly prepared. 🤍

Motherhood can be beautiful… and still be really hard. 

Maybe today you’re exhausted.
Maybe you’re questioning whether you’re doing enough.
Maybe breastfeeding isn’t going the way you prayed it would.
Maybe your baby won’t sleep.
Maybe your house is a mess, your patience is thin, and you don’t even feel like yourself anymore.

Romans 5 reminds us that following Jesus doesn’t mean we won’t struggle.

It tells us that suffering produces perseverance.
Perseverance produces character.
Character produces hope.

And that hope does not put us to shame. 

Mama, the hard season you are walking through is not evidence that God has forgotten you.

He is WITH you in it.

You may not be able to see what He is doing yet, but He can use even this season—the sleepless nights, the tears, the uncertainty, the prayers whispered while rocking a baby at 2 a.m.—to strengthen your faith and draw you closer to Him.

And Romans 5 gives us something even greater to hold onto:

God didn’t wait for us to get everything together before He loved us.

“While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” — Romans 5:8

So when that voice tells you…

“I’m failing.”
“I should be handling this better.”
“Other moms seem to have it together.”
“I’m not enough.”

Remember:

Your hope was never supposed to be in your ability to be the perfect mother.

Your hope is in Jesus. ✝️

You are going to have hard days.
You are going to get tired.
You are going to need help.
You are going to make mistakes.

But you have peace with God through Jesus Christ, and you have access to a grace that is bigger than your hardest day.

So today, mama…

You don’t have to have it all together.

Keep going.
Keep praying.
Keep leaning into Him.

Because the struggle may be producing something in you that you cannot see yet.

Suffering → perseverance → character → hope.

And hope in Jesus will never disappoint. 

Romans 5:1–11

Save this for one of the hard days—and send it to a mama who might need this reminder today.

Pumping moms—you don’t have to spend what little free time you have standing at the sink washing pump parts after every single session. 🙌🏼

If you have a healthy, full-term baby who doesn’t have any health or immune concerns, the “fridge hack” may be a helpful option for your family.

After pumping, rinse off any remaining milk when possible, place your pump parts in a clean gallon-size ziplock bag or sealed container, and store them in the refrigerator between pumping sessions. Then, once a day, take everything completely apart and wash it thoroughly with hot, soapy water. Rinse well and allow the parts to air-dry completely.

This can save so much time and energy—especially when you’re already pumping around the clock, caring for a baby, and surviving on very little sleep. One less round of dishes can make a difference!

The CDC’s safest recommendation is still to wash pump parts after every use because refrigeration slows bacterial growth but doesn’t completely stop it. I wouldn’t recommend the fridge method for babies born prematurely, or babies with health or immune concerns.

As always, choose the option that feels safest and works best for your family. 💜
