☀️ Summer with a breastfed baby looks a little different

Breastfed babies may want to nurse more often in the heat — and that’s completely normal. Human milk helps keep babies hydrated, nourished, and comforted all at once 🥰

A few summer reminders:
💧 Follow baby’s feeding cues
🧢 Keep baby cool with shade + lightweight clothing
👶 Skin-to-skin is still beneficial, just stay mindful of overheating
🌡 Watch for signs baby is getting enough milk: wet diapers, alertness, and steady feeding

And don’t forget about YOU, too:
🥤 Stay hydrated
🍉 Eat nourishing foods
😌 Rest when you can
You and your baby are learning together every day, even through the summer heat 🌻

Can you take medications while making milk? Often, yes. 💊🤱

Lactating while taking medication can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to figure it out alone. 🤍
Many medications are compatible with lactation, and safe, evidence-based guidance can help you make informed decisions with confidence. Every family’s situation is unique, which is why personalized support matters.

If you’ve ever wondered “Can I take this while breastfeeding?”, you’re not alone. Asking questions is part of caring for both you and your baby. ✨

A postpartum lactation consultation is a thorough assessment of the milk making parent, the infant, and how they feed together. Here’s what you can expect:

📝 Health History for Parent & Baby
Before the visit, you will fill out forms about your health history, the birth, and baby’s history. At the visit, your lactation consultant may have additional questions on some of the information you’ve provided.

➿ Breast or Chest Assessment
Your IBCLC may request to look at or feel your breasts. This is a good time to point out damage to your ni***es, areas of the breast/chest discomfort, or any other areas of concern.

🤱 Feeding Evaluation
During the feeding evaluation, we will weigh your baby before and after direct breast or chest feeding to evaluate how efficiently milk is being transferred. Your IBCLC will also assist with latching and positioning.

👅 Body and Oral Assessment
Your IBCLC will assess your baby’s body for markers that may be causing issues with feeding. She will also evaluate your baby’s mouth for function, including oral restrictions. She has been trained to check for tethered oral tissues, and will discuss her findings if anything outside of normal limits is observed.

🍼 Pumping and Bottle Feeding
This is a great time to ask about pump fl**ge sizing, bottle types and ni***es, and maximizing pumping output.

👶🏻 Baby Care
Have questions about the witching hours? Can’t figure out how to rouse your sleepy baby? Your IBCLC is a bit of a “baby whisperer” and is more than happy to share all of her secrets with you.

🐥 Feeding Plan
Together, you and your IBCLC will develop a feeding plan until your next visit. Your IBCLC will write visit notes and send them to your care team, including your baby’s pediatrician.

⏩️ Follow Up
Many families need a few visits before their issues resolve. Your IBCLC will set up a follow up visit before you leave. Have questions before the next appointment? Two weeks of support by phone, messaging, and email is included.

Did you know that your pump parts need to be replaced periodically?

Frequent usage and washing/sterilizing can wear them down. This can lead to inefficient drainage of the breast or chest, which may result in a drop in supply, clogged milk ducts, and other things you don’t want to experience! Please note that exclusively pumping parents may need to replace parts more frequently than what’s listed here.

Don't forget to save this post for later!

Happy Mother’s Day to the caretakers, nurturers, and mother-figures out there. This includes the cool aunties, the bonus parents, and the grandmas.

This day can make a person feel a lot of things. Sending love going to those trying to become mothers, missing their own mothers, and those whose littles are in their hearts rather than in their arms.

We hope you all feel seen, loved, and appreciated every day ❤️ Stay soft, stay strong.

Today is Maternal Mental Health Day, and it is a reminder that caring for parents is just as important as caring for babies.

At It’s More Than Milk, we see firsthand how deeply feeding journeys and emotional well-being are connected. Whether you’re breastfeeding, pumping, combination feeding, or navigating unexpected challenges, your mental health matters. You deserve support that honors both your goals and your feelings.

Hormonal shifts, sleep deprivation, feeding struggles, and the pressure to “get it right” can feel overwhelming. You are not alone in this. Reaching out for help is a sign of strength, not failure.

As IBCLCs, we’re here to provide compassionate, judgment-free care. That means listening to your concerns, supporting your feeding choices, and helping you find balance in a season that can feel anything but.

Today, and every day, we encourage you to check in with yourself:
🔵 How are you really feeling?
🔵 What kind of support do you need?
🔵 Who can you reach out to?

If feeding is affecting your mental health, or your mental health is affecting feeding, we are here for you.

Healthy parents matter. Your wellbeing is part of your baby’s wellbeing.
