🌟 "Liquid Gold" 🌟

As a Nurse Practitioner and IBCLC, I’ve seen firsthand how breastmilk truly is a miracle. It’s not just nutrition – it’s packed with antibodies, vitamins...and promotes health in ways that, despite their best efforts, formula just can't quite replicate.

Yes, a baby can still grow and thrive on formula. But formula unfortunately just doesn't have the immune building components of human milk that has the ability to improve an infant's immune system.

Whether you’re nursing, pumping, or simply supporting someone on their breastfeeding journey, remember: you’re offering a gift that impacts an infant's health for life. 🤱✨

🌸 Did you know that getting the right breast pump flange fit *before* baby arrives can make all the difference?

I've seen firsthand how crucial it is to ensure your pump flanges fits properly — not just for comfort but for effective milk expression too. A poor fit can lead to nipple pain, skin irritation, and decreased milk output. 🍼

We provide prenatal flange fittings for all our clients who take our class or come in for their prenatal appointment. And it's not just by using the measuring tool you see in the photo.....

Because pumps may differ, we fit you specifically to your pump using your pump parts to get you the perfect fit.

The earlier you prepare, the smoother your pumping journey will be. Be sure to contact us if you need help choosing your flange sizes!

Take care of yourself, mama! You deserve the best start to your breastfeeding experience. 🌼

This post right here says it all! You are ALL great moms no matter how you fed your baby. Society is what’s failing us as moms and women!

Posted @withregram • @moomysmilk Breastfeeding should be the norm… not the exception.

Somewhere along the way, we started treating breastfeeding like an optional lifestyle choice instead of what it is—biologically normal. Formula is a lifesaving alternative for those who truly need it, but let’s not pretend it’s the gold standard. It’s not. Breast milk is tailored to meet an infant’s nutritional, immunological, and developmental needs in ways formula never will.

And yet, people get offended when you say “breast is best.” Why? Because society has prioritized convenience over biology. We act like saying breast milk is superior is a personal attack instead of just… science.

Yes, some moms truly can’t breastfeed. Yes, some genuinely need formula. But let’s not erase the fact that breastfeeding is meant to be the default. Maybe, instead of making women feel like breastfeeding is some impossible burden, we should normalize actually supporting them. More education, better lactation resources, longer maternity leave—that’s how you help moms.

But here’s the truth: society doesn’t actually want to support breastfeeding. If it did, we wouldn’t have hospitals pushing formula samples on day one. We wouldn’t have workplaces that force moms to pump in bathrooms or rush their supply to fit a rigid schedule. We wouldn’t have people shaming women for feeding their babies in public.

Instead of encouraging breastfeeding, we’ve made it seem like an inconvenience—too much work, too painful, too limiting. And why? Because formula is easier for everyone except the baby. The formula industry makes billions off moms who feel unsupported, exhausted, and pressured to stop breastfeeding.

It’s not about guilt-tripping formula moms. It’s about recognizing the way we’ve failed all moms by making breastfeeding harder than it needs to be. Breastfeeding isn’t a privilege. It’s what our bodies were designed to do. And saying that shouldn’t be controversial.

We had the most amazing time last week at the UCSD Human Milk Institute Symposium!

We spent three days learning about the recent advances in human milk research, how human milk helps the most fragile babies, and how we can make a difference in our community!

Be sure to follow us to see more about all we learned. We’ll be posting fun facts and fascinating work being done to give all babies the healthiest start possible!

As a Nurse Practitioner and IBCLC, I’ve seen firsthand the incredible difference an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) can make for breastfeeding families.

Evidence shows that IBCLCs provide essential support, improving breastfeeding success rates, reducing infant health complications, and fostering stronger parent-child bonding. Their expertise goes beyond just breastfeeding techniques—they offer tailored care for challenges like latch issues, low milk supply, and pumping difficulties.

This #IBCLCday, let’s celebrate the dedicated professionals who are empowering families to thrive! #LactationMatters #BreastfeedingSupport #HealthcareHeroes

Posted @withregram • @occsandiego Many infants have feeding difficulties, either with breast or bottlefeeding. Babies who are chest or breastfeeding may have a hard time latching, which can be painful or uncomfortable for the breastfeeding parent. They also may have a hard time transferring milk from their parent. Infants who are bottle fed may also experience issues, such as dribbling milk out of their mouths or choking or gagging while feeding. One problem that could be contributing to these issues is ankyloglossia, or a tongue-tie. ⁠
⁠
However, there are many other issues that could also be contributing to these types of problems, such as: ⁠
1. Tight muscles in the tongue⁠
2. Jaw asymmetry ⁠
3. Torticollis or tight neck muscles, especially if a baby has trouble nursing on one side ⁠
4. A high or asymmetric palate⁠
5. Impaired nerve function for the nerves that help control tongue and mouth motion. These nerves are vulnerable in young infants due to their unique anatomy.⁠
⁠
Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) is a gentle, non-invasive option that can be used to benefit all of these issues! Also, it is performed by physicians who can help assess a tongue-tie to determine if a child might need additional intervention to address these ties. ⁠
⁠
If a child does have a procedure to address their tongue-tie, OMT can also be a great option to help support them afterwards with their healing. This helps to encourage tongue mobility and maximize benefit from the procedure. Ask your doctor about how OMT could help your child with feeding dysfunction! ⁠
