Hey Lactation Consultants who also run their own business: Do you find it hard to turn off your brain at bedtime? You're not alone! After a day of helping new moms and babies, you're still thinking about your business – what's next, what needs to be done, and all those little details.

Running your own practice means you're always on the clock, even when you're supposed to be sleeping. But remember, taking a break is okay. It's just as important to look after yourself as it is to look after your clients.

So tonight, when you lie down, take a deep breath, and try to let go of the day's worries. Rest up! You've got more great work to do tomorrow.

Hello Facebook!

I am a dietitian, lactation consultant who own a small business in Lexington that provides nutrition & lactation (breastfeeding) help. I take most major health insurances and most clients get unlimited preventative visits with me. I have over 13 years experience and care deeply about those I serve.

I need your help! My bookings are low lately and this is causing financial stress. I’d love it if you can help my small business out!

If you or anyone (preemie/infant to 100 years old) you know needs help with:

1. Nutrition !!!! (general health, high blood pressure, cardiac disease, diabetes, cholesterol, kidney disease, weight management, liver disease, cancer, any medical condition).

2. Pregnant and nutrition or Breastfeeding nutrition

3. Pregnant and planning to breastfeed. I complete an assessment to determine your ability to breastfeed and about your milk supply. I also thoroughly prepare moms to breastfeed and help you establish a breastfeeding plan and support system breastfeeding before baby is even here. Confidence is key!

4. Breastfeeding help: you are currently breastfeeding and it’s painful, baby struggles with latch, baby has reflux, baby very gassy, baby eats all the time and never seems full, concerned about tongue tie or lip tie. Mom has frequent mastitis, pain in breasts, blisters, questions about how it’s going, weaning baby, breastfeeding the older baby

5. Induced lactation - you plan to adopt, have a surrogate, partner is pregnant and you would also like to breastfeed and induce lactation.

6. Breast pump education, fl**ge or breast shield fitting. Anything and everything pumping.

7. Anything nutrition or breastfeeding related!

Please comment below or message me if you would like some help.

If you needed someone to help you breastfeed what would you search in google?

Reminder for you today. Life is hard as it is. Adding a baby to the mix provides a lot of joy, but also hard.

You are enough. You can do hard things. You got this 👏🏻

August is Breastfeeding Month!

Aug 1-7 is “World Breastfeeding Week”

All over the world people are taking a stand for breastfeeding by supporting, protecting, and advocating breastfeeding.

Let’s take care of the Working Mother or “ “Working Parent!”

World Breastfeeding Week 2023 ( ) focuses on breastfeeding and employment/work. We need to take into account the lessons learned during the pandemic and update parental social protection policies that will address the current situation.

Working mothers (parents) in particular should receive counseling and support during both the antenatal and postnatal period, to build their confidence and skills to enable them to breastfeed in the face of challenges.

This , let’s make a difference for working parents & enable breastfeeding!

Infants that are not latching or sucking at breast should not be diagnosed as tongue tie and scheduled for a release IF a complete oral motor function assessment has not been completed. Infant feeding is complex. Several factors influence oral motor development such as age, muscle tone, feeding reflexes, sensory motor input, oral motor patterns, structural growth and neurological control. Tongue tie is one little piece to the puzzle.

Oral function matters before a release. Find a professional that is specialized in infant feeding, oral motor development AND specialized in breastfeeding to help address feeding concerns.

Infant feeding is complex and it usually takes more than one pediatric professional to fix the problem. 💗💗
