Little Lactation Lady

08/11/2026

There was a time when I wasn’t the devout Christian I am today. I didn’t yet understand how God was working in my life, but looking back, I can see His hand so clearly. He was reaching for me before I even realized I was reaching for Him. And somehow, He used moms and babies to do it. He gave me a heart for this work. He placed me beside women in some of the most vulnerable, exhausting, beautiful moments of their lives. I sat with mothers in tears. I watched them fight for their babies. I witnessed the incredible design of the mother-baby relationship over and over again, and somewhere along the way, this work became part of my testimony. That’s why learning about the Norbertine Canonesses and their “Motherhood Hour” touches me so deeply. While mothers are awake in dark rooms nursing, pumping, rocking babies, crying, praying, or simply trying to make it until morning, these sisters rise in the middle of the night to pray for us. There is something so beautiful about knowing that a mother who feels completely alone may be held in prayer by someone she has never met. When I walk into a mother’s home, I bring my education and clinical experience, but I also bring the heart God has shaped through this calling: to serve, to love, to encourage, and to care for the mother in front of me. I thought I was becoming a lactation consultant so I could help other moms. I didn’t know God would use those mamas to help lead me to Him. 🤍✝️ And that will forever be one of the most beautiful parts of my testimony.

Turn your volume up and listen closely! 🔊🦋 That little gulp, gulp, gulp is music to my ears. 🥹🤍 Those audible swallows are one of the signs we look for that baby is actively transferring milk and not just sucking at the breast.

I’ve learned so much since that day, and now I get to teach you 🩷

You don’t necessarily have to choose between fighting your supply or letting an oversupply spiral out of control. With the right plan, an oversupply can be intentional, manageable, and sustainable, while reducing your risk of problems like painful engorgement, clogged ducts, and mastitis. That extra milk? It can become a freezer stash, milk for donation, backup milk for your baby, or whatever makes sense for your family. 🤍 I’ve developed my own approach that I call the Little Lactation Lady: A Little Extra Milk Method, and I’m getting ready to share exactly how I do it. Full video coming soon. 👀 Stay tuned. 🦋

This is what I call home, and I am so proud to serve my community here. Before I was the person families came to for answers, I was the mom desperately searching for them myself. I remember the uncertainty, the exhaustion, the Googling at all hours, and wondering if I was doing any of it right. Maybe that’s why I see a little bit of myself in every family I serve. When you invite me into your home during such a vulnerable season, you aren’t just another appointment on my calendar. I care about your baby. I care about you. I celebrate your victories, worry alongside you through the hard days, and genuinely want your family to thrive. I try to care for every mother who trusts me the way I would want someone to care for my own family, with patience, compassion, and without judgment. My faith is at the heart of the way I serve. I believe I’m called to love my neighbors, and for me, this community is my neighbor. I want every family who sits with me to experience that love, not through judgment or expectation, but through kindness, grace, and a willingness to meet them exactly where they are. I was once the mom who needed someone. Now I get to be that someone for another mom. There are few things I could imagine being more meaningful than that. 💗 Happy final day of World Breastfeeding Week. Thank you for allowing me to love and serve the families in the community I call home. 🦋

I know posts about breastfeeding can bring up a lot of emotions. Maybe breastfeeding came easily for you. Maybe it didn’t. Maybe your journey lasted days, months, or years. Maybe formula became part of your story. However your baby was fed, I hope you know this: you deserved support every step of the way. Advocating for breastfeeding doesn’t mean shaming families who use formula. It means advocating for the policies, education, maternity leave, skilled lactation care, and community support that give families the opportunity to meet their feeding goals. Every baby deserves to be well fed. Every parent deserves compassionate, evidence-based support. Those two things are not in conflict, they’re exactly what every family deserves. 🤍 These ideas can, and should coexist.

Baby-led weaning doesn’t mean “no purées.” 👶🥣 It means baby is in control of feeding themselves. Whether they’re picking up soft finger foods or scooping up yogurt, oatmeal, or mashed sweet potatoes with their hands or a preloaded spoon, they’re still practicing the skills that make baby-led weaning so beneficial.

People often think breastfeeding is only about feeding a baby. But breastfeeding is also comfort after a scary moment. A safe place when the world feels overwhelming. Pain relief. Connection. Co-regulation. Love.

Today marks the beginning of World Breastfeeding Week 2026, and this year’s theme, “Breastfeeding for a Sustainable Start in Life: Strengthen What Works,” couldn’t be more meaningful to me. Every day, I have the privilege of helping families reach their breastfeeding goals. There is nothing more rewarding than watching parents gain confidence, babies thrive, and knowing I’ve played a small part in their journey. Breastfeeding isn’t always easy, but when we support families with evidence-based care, compassion, and community, we strengthen what works. Not just for babies today, but for generations to come. I’m so grateful to do the work I love. 💜🌎🤱
