When milk supply is low or baby isn’t gaining weight adequately, we naturally want to find the reason WHY and how to FIX it.

There are a multitude of reasons why a supply may be low. This is what an IBCLC (international board certified lactation consultant) can work through with you.

The solve is NEVER a quick fix of drink this, take this, eat this, buy this. Does everyone wish there was a quick fix? Of course.

Marketing works. Sadly. And parents are in a very vulnerable postpartum state where they become perfect prey for a company trying to make some $ and get their brand a household name. But that’s all that is.

If you have concerns, work with an IBCLC. She’ll listen and help put the puzzle pieces together.

In the mother/baby world, we have 2 people, 2 different anatomies, 2 health histories, 2 physical bodies. Often we are solving if it’s the chicken or the egg or both; p***e.

Just don’t fall prey to the marketing money machine world.

Jaw. Dropped. Scary stuff when a medical professional who parents are encouraged to trust, says this.

Lauren Sloan with The Early Neurodiversity Company has been speaking up and speaking out against what this Pediatrician has been saying. (Dr Mona Amin, known by 1.7M Instagram followers as PedsDocTalk)

I’m honored to have been asked to join the voices of clarity and reason and happy to reveal my name. No hiding here.

Please share and speak out if you’re comfortable. We have to join forces to make sure to keep mothers and babies safe.

Holidays are so different when your babies are adults. This is me enjoying going down memory lane. Ziah was 4. Tevan was 9. Luna was 7.

I miss their anticipation, the magic around the holidays (and yes they believed), and the surprise that always painted their faces.

I’m trying to embrace this change, hopefully a transition before some Gbabies will bring back all of these things for me.

Hug and love on those littles of yours. Even tho they’ll always be your babies, when they grow up, it is wild change that you could never prepare for.

Emily Crady Shepard writes an article and her intro:

“The newborn witching hour can make any mom feel like she's doing something wrong. But often, nothing is wrong at all.
(Emily shares how) weeks of evening fussiness led to a powerful reminder in the article from a lactation expert (ME!) Summer Jade Friedmann Done Naturally Lactation Co.

“Babies don't need fixing.
They need connection.
Skin-to-skin.
Babywearing.
Feeding on demand.
Sometimes the answer is simply showing up, again and again.”
