As an SLP and IBCLC, I have the honor of guiding families through their feeding journeys, understanding that each family’s goals are unique and may evolve. I am dedicated to empowering families with the latest evidence-based information and the support they need to make confident decisions for themselves and their baby. As a mom, I intimately know the emotional journey that unfolds when you offer that first supplemental bottle and I hope if you’re here and in this phase of your feeding journey, you know how wonderful you are and that you’re not alone.

If you suspect your child may have an intolerance to something in your milk, please seek help from a team to help you through the process. #mommysbliss360 #supplementing #supplementalfeeding #breastfeeding #bottlefeeding #formulafeeding #combinationfeeding #infantfeeding #newborn

This is not a solution for all breastfeeding dyads. Every mom and baby are unique and deserve to be assessed and receive individualized support. #infant #newborn #lactation #breastfeeding #ibclc #breastmilk #latch #breastfeedinglatch #bottle #bottlepreference

Babies have a reflex that lives on their chin, so if you plant their chin first, they should open wide for a deep latch! #infant #newborn #lactation #breastfeeding #ibclc #breastmilk #latch #breastfeedinglatch #shallowlatch #deeplatch

Working with a lactation consultant would be my first recommendation because pumping should NOT be painful! #infant #newborn #lactation #breastfeeding #ibclc #breastmilk #flange #flangesize #breastpump #pumpsettings #boostmilksupply

Scent cloths are such a wonderful way to promote bonding, comfort, and attachment when your baby is in the NICU and you can’t always be physically close to them. If you’re wanting to use scent cloths, please ask your NICU care team about their guidelines. #infant #newborn #nicu #nicubaby #nicumom #ibclc #lactation #breastfeeding #scentcloths #bondingcloths #skintoskin #kangaroocare #greenscreen
