It takes a village!! 💗
Postpartum isn’t easy and the last thing you want your bff to be thinking about is cooking. If you have a 🤰 friend in your life and you’re wondering how you can help, consider a freezer meal or bringing one postpartum ✨ This way she can focus on healing, rest, and nourishing her sweet little baby!! I promise she’ll be so grateful 🥹🥰

Sending you extra love today 🤍
Seems pretty mild to me too 🫠😵💫🙃
I was being sarcastic 🤪
🚨 there is no such thing as a ‘mild,’ or ‘slight’ tie 🚨
It’s only when a mom and/or baby are experiencing functional challenges with feeding, sleep, and/or airway are we considering that band of connective tissue to be a true tie.
But the FIRST step should always be oral motor, whole body therapy with an SLP, OT, and/or PT! There can be so much more contributing to challenges than ties and rushing to a tongue tie release is not a magic fix solution. We are doing you a your baby a disservice when therapy is skipped.
If your provider tells you your baby has a ‘mild’ or ‘slight’ tie and you’re experiencing several of the signs I shared in this reel, I encourage you to seek out a second opinion from a trained tie savvy provider. 👋🏽 That’s me if you’re in Northern VA!

If you’re GF in the US but were perfectly fine eating it in Italy, are you ordering Italian flour to the US?! I think I have to! Then I’ll start cooking everything from scratch when we return home. I don’t think I can go back to the GF life after this trip 😅
Constipation is not normal 👏🏽
What could be causing it? One or a combination of factors including:
💩Inadequate intake
💩Food reactivity
💩Gut dysbiosis
💩Tension
💩Lack of movement
💩Oral dysfunction

The first of many girl chats! 🤗
Maybe you’ve heard the term ‘supply and demand’ a hundred times. But what does that actually mean for your body?
Think of your supply like an ice machine. Every time you scoop a little ice out, it makes more. And your breasts work in a similar way.
The more you remove milk, by nursing or pumping, you send your body the message ‘Hey, my baby needs more. Keep it coming!’
But if you start skipping feeds, dropping pumps, or go long stretches without stimulation. Your body hears the opposite: ‘Oh, we’re good, dial it back.’ And it does. Your body will start producing less.
But here’s the thing; supply isn’t only about stimulation. Your health history matters (e.g., history of PCOS, Thyroid imbalances, anemia, etc.), your nutrition + hydration, whether your baby is efficiently transferring milk at your breast, fl**ge size, pump & pump settings. It ALL plays a role! 😲
So if something feels off, that’s worth looking into with a board certified lactation consultant! (That’s me! 👋🏽)
Remember this: we can protect your supply by removing milk regularly and effectively. Day AND night. AND if there are concerns, we wanna make sure we’ve ruled out or addressed any other factors that could be impacting milk production.
Follow me .cangrow and tell me, what should be chat about next?! 👇🏽👇🏽
