Lactation is my purr-fession💖 >>swipe for the inspo

🤍 Let's talk about bed-sharing and breastfeeding.

Many parents find themselves falling asleep while feeding their babies. It's nothing to be ashamed of, but it is something we should prepare for.

The safest recommendation is for babies to sleep on a separate, firm, flat sleep surface in their parents' room, ideally for at least the first six months. The American Academy of Pediatrics also recommends against bed-sharing.

But we also know that real life doesn't always go according to plan. Parents are exhausted, babies wake frequently, and nighttime feeds can be unpredictable.

If you're breastfeeding, understanding the risks and planning ahead matters. The Safe Sleep Seven provides harm-reduction guidance for families who bed-share, but it does not eliminate the risks or make bed-sharing as safe as a separate infant sleep surface.

✨ In this carousel, we're discussing:
• The Safe Sleep Seven
• The cuddle curl
• Preparing a safer sleep environment
• Why sofas, recliners, and chairs are higher risk
• Important risk factors to know
• Why education and support matter more than shame

Please remember that certain circumstances, including smoking, alcohol or drug use, sedating medications, prematurity, low birthweight, and unsafe sleep surfaces, can significantly increase risk.

My goal is to never make parents feel judged. It's to provide honest information, compassionate support, and practical education so families can make informed decisions.

You deserve support, mama–not shame. 🤍

Happy home visit with this 4-day-old mama-baby duo! 🥹🤍 Mama’s killin’ it at breastfeeding, and I am SO proud of her! My heart is full.

Today, we practiced kangaroo care, laid back feeding and the football hold, helping mama find comfortable positions and build confidence with feeding. Seeing this beautiful pair feeling content, comfortable, and supported is what it’s all about. 🫶🏼

And we can’t leave out dad! He’s doing such a great job being mama’s breastfeeding teammate, and he’s loving that skin-to-skin time with baby, too. 🤍

Every little bit of progress deserves to be celebrated, and this mama is doing amazing! ✨

Women need women. 🤍

Whether you’re a woman without children, trying to become a mother, a first-time mom, raising several children, or grieving a baby who is heaven-side—I see you.

Every season deserves support. Every woman deserves someone in her corner.

And for the mothers in your life, be that woman. Check in. Bring a meal. Listen. Offer a helping hand. Remind her she doesn’t have to do it all alone.

And if you’re not a woman, I’m sure you know a woman who could use a little support. Check in on her. Tell her you see her. Tell her she’s doing a good job. Let her know you appreciate her. Sometimes, a simple reminder that someone sees and appreciates all that she’s carrying can mean more than you realize.

And if you ever need support, have a question, or simply don’t know where to start, DM me. I’m here for you. I see you, and I have so many resources I’d love to share.

You may be carrying a lot, but there’s strength in you. ✨🦸🏽‍♀️🫶🏼

Another book club Zoom meeting in the books! 😉📚

I was so excited to learn where everyone in our group is joining from, so I decided to put together a little map of our lactation book club around the world. 🌎🤍

What started as just a casual idea turned into something even cooler than I could have imagined. A friend told me the other day that it’s like a lactation study hall around the world — and I absolutely love that concept! 🥹

We may be in different states, different countries, and even different time zones, but we’re all here with the same purpose: to learn, grow, share ideas, and support one another.

I’m so grateful for this community and look forward to future calls, getting to know everyone better, and continuing to learn from all of these awesome women! 🤍📚🌎

Both of these mamas made me so proud of the effort they put into reaching their breastfeeding goals. 🤍

Through challenges and uncertainty, they kept going, stayed open and receptive to guidance, and trusted the process. Together, we created a plan that supported their individual needs, their babies, and their unique situations.

That’s one of my favorite parts of lactation support—there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. My role is to provide education, encouragement, and evidence-based support while working with each mama to find what works best for her.

Seeing these two mamas reach goals that once felt challenging is such a rewarding part of what I do. 🥹🤍

✨ A new chapter for Newby Nurturing 🦋

I’ve completely revamped my website to reflect the shift I’ve made in my professional journey – from postpartum doula & breastfeeding support to focusing on lactation support. 🤱🏻🤱🏼🤱🏽

I’m so excited for this next chapter and to continue supporting families in New Braunfels and surrounding areas through their breastfeeding journeys.

Take a peek at the new website! And if you know a mama who could benefit from an in-home lactation visit, I’d love if you shared my page with her. 🩵

Myth 15: You need special foods and drinks to make enough milk

There is no magic potion, food, or drink that will make you produce enough breastmilk. While galactagogues (foods, herbs, or supplements believed to help increase milk supply) and lactogenic foods are often talked about for boosting supply, what truly makes a difference is removing milk effectively and often.

Think of your breasts like an ice machine—the more you remove, the more you make.

Staying nourished, hydrated, and following your baby’s feeding cues (rather than the clock) is what really supports a healthy milk supply 🤍
