Milk Bar; Lactation Counseling

Trying to boost your supply? Stray AWAY from lactation supplements that include FENUGREEK.

Hello friends I felt the need to give a quick apology for not being as active as I’d like to be on my page lately. Life has thrown us a curveball that we are currently doing our best to navigate! I reposted a few of my most (and least, from when I first started) viewed posts. Please, feel free to make a post saying what topics you would like to see being discussed. During a time when most breastfeeding support groups can’t actually get together I’d love to make sure we’re... discussing things that need to be discussed. Thank you for your patience Photo of my littles SECOND (it’s not possible, is it?!) birthday and LAST milk bath celebrating and closing our 2 yr BF journey

My son was a cluster feeder. And man oh man, was it tough. Keep your chin up, it’s only for a little while

Sounds about right

Share with us! What are some things that happened to you while nursing that you did not expect? My personal experience is aimed at the first few feedings.. During the first few sessions I had cramps, similar to menstrual cramps just a tad stronger.. Nursing my son brought on the second labor as some may call it. Every mother experiences this, nursing mothers tend to experience it at the time of the feeding. Breastfeeding cues your body to heal itself and contracts the... uterus during that time so that it can make its way back to its normal size. Aren’t our bodies amazing?!

This means a store manager can’t ask you to do that in the bathroom, a restaurant waiter can’t ask you to cover up, and a store employee can’t tell you that... you can’t do that here. No more feeding your baby in dirty bathroom stalls, hot Parked cars and tiny dressing rooms Use your voice even if it shakes, we have your back See more

Did you know. . . . A breastfeeding momma’s breasts can detect a change in the baby’s body temperature and can adjust to either heat up or cool down? Skin-to-skin contact is so important even after the newborn stage
