Happy Cinco De Mayo! Donate a margarita to a mom near you 😉

Sometimes "graduation" day is extra hard. Through all the ups and downs of their breastfeeding journey, this family and their lactation consultant developed a beautiful relationship of mutual respect and appreciation for one another. As I took these pics, I couldn't help but pinch that sweet girl's fabulous breast milk rolls and marvel at her mama's dedication to not giving up. Sometimes we just need the right support to keep us going through the tough times.

While we are thrilled that their issues have now been resolved, their beautiful faces and warm hearts will definitely be missed. Please come visit when you're in the area, 💕

This sweet family was all smiles after reaching their breastfeeding goal! Sweet boy was so tiny when we first met him, but now is a toddler walking around all on his own ( ).

As much as we'll miss seeing your bright smiles, this time was precious and we were honored to help walk part of this journey with you.

Wondering what to do with your eclipse glasses? The next solar eclipse in the U.S. won't happen until 2044, but you can keep those glasses out of the landfill and help people across the world view eclipses safely by donating them via dropoff or mail! Here are two great options:

1. Astronomers Without Borders

They'll inspect the glasses for safety and then pass them on to others around the world. Collection points can be found in many major cities.

Thank you to Sally and Harpreet from in Dallas for sharing your expertise with our lactation consultants today! The Austin team also joined in (virtually) to absorb the wealth of knowledge these brilliant women presented on how they work to help babies feed effectively and develop appropriately. We love learning as much as we can about complimentary specialties, developing relationships, and working collaboratively with those who share our passion for bettering the lives of babies!

Are you reluctant to call a lactation consultant for fear that we will judge you or push you to exclusively breastfeed? Or do you think that all we can help with is nursing?

I sincerely hope not. We can help you with pumping, bottles, supplementing, anything that's related to feeding your baby while trying to produce milk. Your goals are our goals. Any amount of breast milk is a gift to your baby, and the job of a lactation consultant is to help you work out a plan that works FOR YOU. Even if that means you want to stop milk production altogether.

We're here to help you, not to judge you. Give us a call. Let's work this out together 💕

💗 Happy Valentine's Day, friends! 💗

It's cold, but the roads are clear and we're open for today's appointments! Please call if you have worries or would prefer to consider seeing your lactation consultant virtually instead.

It's the edge detailing for me 😊. One of our clients made it to a year of breastfeeding, and her husband thought that milestone deserved a celebratory cake. We couldn't agree more!

Leave a comment to help us congratulate this mama on her hard work and dedication through a lot of ups and downs!

Reflecting on the past year always warms my heart. There is truly no better job than to foster the mother-child bond by helping you feed your babies. The bittersweet part is that our goal is to get you to where you don't need to come back.

We treasure the time we get to spend with you and your sweet babies, and we will always strive to exceed your expectations and be worthy of the trust you place in My Pure Delivery. May your 2024 be as sweet as your baby's first smile.

Come on, ma'am. Go find a cave or something. What if the men and children see you?! 👀

Sounds ridiculous, right? This is exactly what it sounds like when others object to a human mother feeding her baby in public. We're all mammals and this is what breasts are for. Stop shaming mothers.

• Breastfeeding hurts
• Babies should be able to sleep alone
• Babies should sleep through the night

What would you add?

The nights are long.
The newborn stage is so hard.
But then you blink, and those needy little babies are bigger and more independent than you thought possible.

You can't hold them too much.
You can't love them too much.
You can't cherish and protect their littleness for too long.
You just can't.
Because they will grow up and enter new stages that are as beautiful and difficult as this one. And they will never be this little again.

There is so much to do before your little one arrives, but preparation is key! This is our top 10- is there anything you would add?

# breastfeedingpreparation

NEWSFLASH! Breasts are made for feeding babies. If seeing a mother nourishing and nurturing her child makes you uncomfortable, remember that it is not her job to make you comfortable, it is her job to feed her baby.

She has enough on her mind without having to worry about accommodating you if her baby gets hungry. Please don't put her in that position. You can always put off your visit until feedings become more predictable, or better yet, go wash some dishes for her while she nurses 😁.

How did you handle feeding your baby when family or friends came to visit? Tell us in the comments!

Think about this... Which came first, the pacifier or the breast? Obviously, the breast. So your baby isn't using you as a pacifier. They are exhibiting normal behavior, and we have created artificial means to accommodate it.

There are no bad habits when it comes to calming your baby with the breast. Breastfeeding is comfort, security, and analgesia as well as nutrition and immunity. You aren't being manipulated or used "as a pacifier," you're using the most powerful tool in your mama toolbox to help your baby feel safe and content.

Breastfeed more when baby is sick?
✔️Yes, please!
Breastfeed because baby just wants a snack or a quick drink?
✔️Absolutely!
Breastfeed when baby is going through a developmental leap?
✔️Certainly!
Breastfeed when baby gets hurt?
✔️Definitely!
Breastfeed when baby just wants some extra snuggle time?
✔️By all means!
Breastfeed to sleep?
✔️Why not???

Follow your heart and do what works in your life, mamas. There is nothing wrong with using an actual pacifier or other tools to soothe your baby, but there is also nothing wrong with your baby wanting you. Rest assured that it's okay to respond to your baby's needs without fear of "bad habits," and don't throw out your most powerful tool because someone else is uncomfortable or thinks your baby shouldn't need it. Your child won't go off to school attached to the breast. I promise.

Thoughts as this little squish stares up at her LC—

We are so grateful to get to work with these tiny, new bundles of love just trying to figure out life on the outside, and their parents who have just entered into uncharted waters.

Newborn grunts, sighs and squeaks are so sweet 🥰

It’s an honor to work in this profession, being able to help improve the health and well-being of the next generation through breastfeeding empowerment, education, and support.

Plus, we get to hold babies every day...and well, there's just nothing better. Thank you to all of our clients and followers for your continued trust and support, and please reach out if you need breastfeeding/pumping help. We take most insurance and we're here for you! Links in bio 💕

"My baby is older and knows how to breastfeed, so what can a lactation consultant do for me at this point?"

You may think that once you’re past the difficult newborn stage, breastfeeding will be smooth sailing. Hopefully that is true for you! However, as your baby grows and develops, new breastfeeding struggles can arise. We are here to help you throughout your entire journey so that you can maintain your breastfeeding relationship for as long as you desire. Just reach out!

Common struggles with older babies (3 months and older) include:

🔹️Teething
🔹️Breast or bottle refusal
🔹️Starting solids
🔹️Distraction
🔹️Sleep issues
🔹️Pregnancy
🔹️Weaning

For moms, these issues tend to result in decreased milk supply, loss of sleep, clogged ducts, and/or ni**le pain or damage. Reach out for the help you need! We will help you every step of the way, and we accept most insurance. Links in bio 💕

If we've seen you and have your medical history, ask us! If not, please call the Infant Risk helpline to find out if your medication is safe for your breastfeeding situation.

Maternal need for medication is a maternal health problem and a breastfeeding barrier. We’ve known this for years, and now people are catching on!

Two visual perspectives on how much your newborn needs to eat. One of the first milk supply pitfalls is reaching for the formula while waiting for your milk to come in.

Your milk doesn't "come in." It starts with low volume, powerful and nutrient dense colostrum and transitions over a few days into thinner, mature milk once your baby's stomach has grown enough to handle higher volumes to meet their nutrition and hydration needs.

It's normal for newborns to eat frequently. They are literally designed to do it. So just because it's possible to get a couple ounces of formula into a newborn who seems hungry all the time doesn't mean you should.

If your baby is born and remains healthy, just let nature do its thing. If you feel nervous about how to know they are getting enough, comment "DM me" below and we'll send you our article - How To Know Your Breastfed Baby Is Getting Enough Milk.

🔥 Did you know that producing milk burns about 500 extra calories per day? It's true! So please make sure to eat good, nutrient dense foods and stay hydrated so your body can do its thing!

**We are NOT here to promote diet culture and mothers "bouncing back" after having a baby. We're here to gush over some chubby baby cuteness and celebrate what our bodies can do! Not every mother loses weight while breastfeeding and that's okay! You still burn the calories regardless of what the scale says.
