😴 Newborn sleep is a whole new world! Here are a few tips to help new parents get through those early days:

🌙 Sleep when you can. Forget the perfect schedule—rest whenever you get the chance.

🛏️ Keep baby's sleep space simple. Always place baby on their back on a firm, flat sleep surface with no pillows, blankets, bumpers, or stuffed animals.

☀️ Help baby learn day vs. night. Keep daytime bright and active, and nighttime calm, quiet, and dim.

🍼 Take shifts when possible. If you have a partner or support person, trade off baby duty so each of you gets a longer stretch of sleep.

🤍 Accept the help! If someone offers to hold the baby while you nap, bring you a meal, or handle a chore—let them!

And remember: newborn sleep is unpredictable. You’re not doing anything wrong. Take it one night (and one nap!) at a time. 🫶

🍼 Is your breastfed baby refusing a bottle? You’re not alone!

Bottle refusal is so common—and it doesn’t mean you’ve done anything wrong. Some babies simply need time to get comfortable with a new feeding method.

A lactation consultant can help you figure out why baby may be refusing the bottle, evaluate feeding mechanics, help you find a bottle/nipple that works for your baby, and teach you techniques for introducing bottles without turning feeding into a battle. 🤍

Whether you’re preparing to return to work, want your partner or caregiver to feed baby, or simply want baby to accept an occasional bottle, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Save this for later & send it to a breastfeeding mama! 🍼✨

Building your baby registry? 🍼✨ Before you add another adorable outfit you’ll never get around to putting on baby… 😂

Here are 4 things a lactation consultant actually wants you to have on hand if you’re planning to breastfeed or pump!

And our biggest bonus recommendation? Put a lactation consultation on your registry! 🤍 You don’t have to wait until you’re struggling to ask for help. A little preparation before baby arrives can go a long way toward feeling confident once you’re home.

Save this for registry shopping & send it to a pregnant mama! 🛒🍼

🎀 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month🎀

Breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in women in the U.S., and about 1 in 8 women will develop invasive breast cancer during their lifetime. In 2026 alone, an estimated 321,910 women will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer in the U.S.

As lactation consultants, we also want to highlight one lesser-known benefit of breastfeeding: breastfeeding for several months may help lower a woman's risk of developing breast cancer.

Breastfeeding isn't a guarantee against breast cancer, and so many risk factors are outside of our control—but it is one of the many potential health benefits associated with breastfeeding. 🤍

This month, let's remember to know your risk, follow recommended screening guidelines, and take care of your health.🎀

One of the biggest questions new moms have: “When will my milk come in?” 🍼

The first few days can look very different from what you might expect—and that’s completely normal! Colostrum comes first, and mature milk typically starts increasing around 2–5 days after birth.

If you’re wondering whether your baby is getting enough or you're concerned about your supply, you don’t have to figure it out alone. A lactation consultant can help you understand what’s normal and support you every step of the way. 🤍

🍂 Fall foods for Baby🍂

Baby-led weaning is all about letting baby explore food, but how you prepare it matters. Here are some easy, safe ways to serve these fall favorites:

🎃 Pumpkin: Roast until very soft and serve in thick wedges or mash onto a pre-loaded spoon.

🍠 Sweet Potato: Roast or steam until you can easily squish it between your fingers. Serve as thick sticks or wedges.

🍎 Apple: Always cook for young babies! Steam or bake until very soft, then offer large, soft slices or mash onto a spoon.

🍐 Pear: Use a ripe, soft pear or cook until tender. Offer thick slices or wedges baby can grasp.

🥒 Butternut Squash: Roast until soft and serve as thick strips/wedges or mashed.

🍁 Acorn Squash: Roast or steam until fork-tender and offer in thick wedges with the skin left on for an easy-to-grip handle, or serve mashed.

✨ The goal: Soft enough to squish between your fingers + pieces large enough for baby to grasp. Avoid hard, raw fruits and vegetables, and always supervise baby while eating.

🤱🏼 **Thinking about taking a breastfeeding class before baby arrives? Here are 6 reasons you should!**

1️⃣ **Know what to expect** — Breastfeeding is natural, but that doesn't mean it always comes naturally. Learn what those first days can actually look like.

2️⃣ **Learn how to get a good latch** — Proper positioning and latch can make a HUGE difference in comfort and milk transfer.

3️⃣ **Understand your milk supply** — Learn how milk production works, what is normal, and how to support a healthy supply.

4️⃣ **Know what’s normal (and what’s not)** — From cluster feeding to engorgement, knowing what to expect can help you avoid unnecessary panic.

5️⃣ **Prepare for common challenges** — Learn about sore ni***es, clogged ducts, pumping, supplementation, and more BEFORE you're exhausted and trying to troubleshoot at 2 a.m. 😂

6️⃣ **Build confidence** — Having a plan and knowing where to turn for help can make those first few weeks feel much less overwhelming.

And perhaps the biggest reason? **You don't have to wait until you're struggling to ask for help.** 🤍

Our lactation consultants are here to educate, prepare, and support you from pregnancy through your breastfeeding journey.

📚 **Take the class before baby arrives. Your future, sleep-deprived self will thank you!** 😂🤱🏼

**Breastfeeding shouldn't have to hurt.** 🤱🏼💗

Sore or cracked ni***es are common, especially in the early days—but that doesn't mean you just have to “push through” the pain.

A lactation consultant can help identify *why* you're hurting, assess baby's latch and positioning, evaluate feeding patterns, and give you personalized strategies to make breastfeeding more comfortable.

Sometimes a small adjustment can make a **BIG difference **.** 🙌🏼

If you're wincing every time baby latches, don't wait it out. **Reach out for support!** You don't have to figure it out alone. 🤍
