This is controversial....ultimately there needs to be more research but here are some things we've seen...

We know taking placenta pills can help aid in reducing postpartum depression, but what can it do to your milk supply??

Your body has a very specific hormonal shift after birth that tells your milk to come in:

**When the placenta is delivered, estrogen and progesterone levels drop rapidly
**That drop is what allows prolactin (the milk-making hormone) to fully kick in

Now here’s where placenta pills come in:
** Placenta contains hormones
Even after processing, placenta capsules can still contain small amounts of estrogen and progesterone

**Reintroducing those hormones may pause prolactin.
If your body is getting a signal that those hormones are still around, it can:
• Delay your milk coming in
• Decrease overall milk production
• Make supply feel inconsistent or “low”

Think of it like this:

Your body is trying to flip the “milk ON” switch after birth.
Placenta pills can confuse the system by nudging hormones back in the opposite direction.

It's important to know this isn't the case for everyone but it's definitely something to consider.

What should be happening instead:
Encouragement. Hands-on help. Watching a full feed. Explaining what’s normal. Protecting both feeding and maternal confidence. Feeling safe in what you're doing matters!

Reach out! 💜💛

There is no perfect way to be a mom, but there is something incredibly powerful about the way you show up, learn, and love every single day.

We hope today you feel seen, supported, and celebrated for all the big and small things you do that often go unnoticed. 💜💛

2AM hits different when you’re breastfeeding.

It’s the hour of Google spirals, second guessing everything, and wondering if what you’re experiencing is normal.

(And the answer 99% of the time? It is.)

Cluster feeding, uneven supply, baby wanting to live on the b**b, falling asleep and waking up instantly… it’s all part of it.

But that doesn’t mean you have to figure it out alone.

If you’ve ever sent a message like this in the middle of the night… you’re exactly who I’m here for 🤍
Because sometimes all you need is someone to say: you’re doing it right.

Yes. Ni**le sizes can change. BUT, if you get sized before baby comes, you'll be closer to the right size than what comes with your pump. You can always be sized again after baby's here!
