Are you a breastfeeding mother considering getting Are you a breastfeeding mother considering getting your covid vaccine? If you are choosing to do so, I would like to recommend that you request to get injected in your thigh muscle instead of the upper arm muscle. 🦵 This is not common practice and may require more time in convincing the person who is administering the vaccine, as they may be unfamiliar with this. You should wear shorts or a skirt to avoid needing to pull down your pants in a pharmacy or drive through vaccine clinic.  🩳 👗 - BUT WHY? - Enlargement of lymph tissue in the armpit is a common response after the vaccine. Because of this, a lactating breast may become engorged and inflamed after the vaccine which can create unnecessary obstacles to breastfeeding including: ⁃Clogged milk ducts ⁃Painful breast tissue ⁃Decreased milk supply (as a result of inflammed or clogged milk ducts) ⁃Mastitis (as a result of uncleared clogged ducts) 🤒 - FYI: It is recommended that yearly mammograms be delayed about 6 weeks after the last covid vaccine dose. This is to prevent unnecessary false alarms about breast cancer risks due to inflamed lymph tissue in the armpit that will show up on the mammogram. 🎬 Swipe over to see images from the CDC and Pfizer highlighting that it is acceptable to inject the vaccine into the anteriolateral thigh. Print this off and take it with you to your vaccine appointment if you need to advocate for avoiding the arm as an injection site. 💪🏻 . Have you had your vaccine? Did you notice any swelling or pain in your breast after? #covidvacccine #breastfeeding #breastfeedingtips #wowyoucanreallydance https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/info-by-product/pfizer/downloads/standing-orders.pdf

Over the last 11 months I have learned to LOL at r Over the last 11 months I have learned to LOL at renovation deadlines and expected completion dates. I’ve learned to accept poor communication skills from subcontractors and to never believe when they say “it will be done by the end of the week”. I’ve also learned that people are excited about the #latchhatch. I’ve enjoyed getting middle aged men to chat with me about how to renovate the interior and to hear their ideas about how wide a counter top should be or how far away the garbage can should be from the changing table and how to tint the windows so the moms have extra privacy. 🤱🏽 It’s been a fun project. The stress level has been high (mostly due to personal financial risk) and I have not paid myself from Latched Louisville for over a year. I also have ZERO doubt that this is going to be amazing. I know that the Latch Hatch will be worth the investment and that it will succeed. I know because I couldn’t have planned the series of events that led me here. I just kept going through open doors and knocking when the doors were closed. I know that I have been divinely appointed to do this work. When I run out of ideas about how to make things work or how to pay for something , a new opportunity shows up at my feet. It’s seriously beyond reason. ✨ Now that we are getting close (I think 🤷🏼‍♀️) to the latch hatch launching, I want to hear from you guys: • what products should I stock in the latch hatch to sell? • where should I get permission to park? It needs to be in an easily accessible parking lot close to a place with bathrooms. Like a coffee shop or store. locations: Mt. Washington, Bardstown, New Albany/Jeff , South Louisville, East Louisville. • what businesses should I reach out to for collaborations? Like giveaways or promotions or events. #airstream #airstreamrenovation #airstreamargosy #breastfeeding
☄️CLOGGED DUCTS☄️ are the worst. Clogged ☄️CLOGGED DUCTS☄️ are the worst. Clogged milk ducts, clogs, blocked ducts, caked breast. These terms all describe when a woman’s milk ducts become inflamed, backed up with milk and tender. Common sites for clogs are in the upper outer quadrant of the breast, close to the armpit, and on the underside of the breast tissue. Clogs can develop during periods of engorgement if the breasts are not drained well, if a woman skips a feeding, when baby starts sleeping longer stretches at night, with any pressure on the breast such as a restrictive bra or sleeping on breast tissue. Once a woman has had a clogged duct, she is more likely to develop them in the future than a woman who has never had a clog. 😩 Clogged milk ducts are a great time to get your partner involved with breast-feeding. Asking your partner to massage while you are feeding can be painful, but in a hurt-so-good kind of way. 💆🏼‍♀️ Other ways of clearing a clog include: •Moist heat and massage before pumping or nursing. •Vibration before and during draining the breast. •Ibuprofen. •Dangle feeding. Swipe to see an example ➡️. This allows gravity to work in your favor. •Lecithin supplements are a great preventative when taken three times daily. Some women find it helpful to take it four times daily when they have an active clog. •Daily probiotics help decrease inflammation. • Some clogs are peskier than others. Keep in mind that there are other ways your partner can help you to get rid of a clog 😮😋😛👅 Do you have any clever tricks up your sleeve for clearing out pesky clogs? #breastfeedingproblems #clogged #pregnancy
Did you know that this is national infertility awa Did you know that this is national infertility awareness week? 🧡 We all have a unique story about how we have grown our family. Some women are open about their struggles with infertility while others are quietly crippled by the pain. 🧡 This selfie was taken in 2012 right before my PICC line was removed. I was 14 weeks pregnant with twins and lost 18 pounds in my first trimester due to hyperemesis gravidarum. It was a really conflicting and dark season for me. I had a two-year-old and was very eager to have more children close in age. I had two back to back miscarriages at 12 weeks after seeing heartbeats multiple times. After my second D & C, I tracked my ovulation for eight months and never got a positive. My OB/GYN gave me one round of Clomid and I conceived right away. I was so thankful to finally be pregnant again but expected to see blood every time I used the restroom. When I became very ill, around week five, I felt like I couldn’t complain because I had wanted to conceive so badly. I was vomiting 15 to 30 times per day, waking up at night (delirious due to phenergan suppositories) to spew bile out of my nose. I didn’t understand how I could be so depressed. 🧡 I was young and, thankfully, responded quickly to an ovulation inducing medication. Many women go through much longer and more painful journeys to conceive. I know that many of my breast-feeding clients have endured battles with infertility. 🧡 How has infertility changed your perspective on life? What do you wish were different about our culture in regards to infertility awareness? 🧡 The goal of infertility awareness week is to: Enhance public understanding that infertility needs and deserves attention. Ensure that people trying to build a family know the guidelines for seeing a specialist. Educate lawmakers about how infertility impacts people in their state. #infertilityawarenessweek #pregnancy #hyperemesisgravidarum
Pregnant mamas, have you been sized for a proper f Pregnant mamas, have you been sized for a proper fitting breast pump flange? Have you been told by a medical professional whether or not you’ll be successful at breastfeeding based on the appearance of your breasts or nipples? If so, trash that advice.🗑 . During pregnancy, a woman’s breast undergoes many changes including: enlargement, darkening of the areola and nipple, more pronounced Montgomery glands (those bumps around your areola) and leaking of colostrum (usually after week 16 of pregnancy). Keep in mind that there is a very large spectrum of “normal” here. Some women experience all of these changes and some women experience none. 🥥 . Breasts come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. Here are some words that describe “normal” breasts: round, small, soft, pendulous, tubular, angled, widely spaced, hypoplastic, dense. Here are some words that describe “normal”nipples: everted, long, short, flat, inverted, dimpled, bifurcated. Odds are, your breasts and nipples are perfectly “normal”! If anyone predicts your ability to breast-feed based on appearance, please do not seek any further lactation advice from them. While it is true that certain characteristics of breasts and nipples can create obstacles to breastfeeding, there is no way of predicting how a breast + baby will function together. 🍈 . Just as the breast changes greatly during pregnancy, there are also many changes that occur after delivery. For this reason, flanges should not be sized until after the woman has delivered her baby and postpartum swelling has resolved. Some women can easily determine a proper fit based on appearance and comfort while pumping. Other times, the nipple can grow in length or diameter in such a way while pumping that it is best to see a lactation expert to get a proper fit. If you are struggling with pumping or questioning your flange fit, book an appointment with me. The booking link is in my bio. 😘 . #pumping #epingmom #breastfeeding #womenhelpingwomen #womenownedbusiness #liquidgold
For the past several months, I have been seeking t For the past several months, I have been seeking to better understand  the relationship between probiotics and breast health. Did you know that, just like the GI tract, a woman’s breast and milk contain healthy bacteria (flora)? When our gut and/or breast flora are balanced and healthy, inflammation is reduced. 🧫 Why is reducing inflammation in the breast relevant for breastfeeding? •When our breast tissue is inflamed, we experience pain. What causes breast inflammation? •Engorgement, clogged ducts, infection (mastitis), yeast… 🦠 Research shows that a particular strain of probiotic, L. fermentum, can reduce the risk and recurrence of lactational breast discomfort. Not only is L. fermentum beneficial to breast health, but it is also shown to be beneficial for dealing with issues more prevalent in women, like yeast infections and UTIs.  🤱🏽 During my quest to learn about how probiotics can improve lactation, I found this brand of probiotics, Elactia. (This is not an ad. #iwish). I’ve been impressed with the evidence to support its use in lactating women. If it is not within your budget to take a probiotic daily, taking them during seasons of pain and inflammation (mastitis, clogged ducts, thrush..) is very helpful. 🤓 I do have an affiliate link for these probiotics on amazon. (That means I get 1% of the sales when someone uses my link). If you’re going to buy these, it would be great if you could use the link in my bio! #supportsmallbusiness 🛒 This is from Elactia’s website: Taken as a daily breastfeeding probiotic or when breast discomfort occurs, Elactia promotes healthy lactation*. •Ease breast discomfort associated with lactation* •Reduce the risk & recurrence of lactational breast discomfort* •Promote healthy lactation & breastfeeding •Restore & maintain a healthy balance of protective breast flora* *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

Clogged milk ducts are the pits. If you can’t ge Clogged milk ducts are the pits. If you can’t get them cleared out quickly they can lead to mastitis and decreased milk supply. Moist heat, massage, frequent feeding and DANGLE FEEDING will help help clear clogs. Hover over your baby on all fours and let gravity help bring that milk down as you breastfeed. If doggy style isn’t your cup of tea, just position your baby under the breast and lean forward as much as possible. 🐕 If your baby is older than 3 months he may laugh at you and start swatting your breast 😛. Have you ever dangle-fed your baby or have any special tips of your own for clearing clogged ducts? #breastfeedingmom #cloggedduct #mastits #doggystyle #wholetthedogsout
I often visit with new moms who are incredibly uns I often visit with new moms who are incredibly unsure whether or not breastfeeding is going well. The most common reasons I encounter for this lack of confidence are: 😶lack of prenatal education about breastfeeding 😶 a first generation breastfeeder with family members who give well meaning advice better suited for a bottle fed baby 😶underlying anxiety disorder Most of the time I have the privilege of reassuring her that she is, indeed, winning at breastfeeding! Other times I get to help her troubleshoot and fine tune certain areas, readjust her goals or just be a listening ear. If your goal is to exclusively breastfeed, the best way to meet that goal is to breastfeed often. You and your baby learn to breastfeed by breastfeeding. 👊🏼There will be plenty of time to work on bottle feeding after breastfeeding is well established. 👊🏼Introducing a bottle before baby is skilled at latching to the breast and transferring milk well can create obstacles to meeting your goals. 👊🏼Supplementing will deny your breasts the opportunity to receive sufficient stimulation that signals the brain to produce more milk which leads to the beginnings of decreasing milk supply. 🗣 Before offering supplemental milk during that first week, swipe over for a checklist to help determine whether breastfeeding is going well. Working together with your child’s pediatrician and a certified lactation consultant is the best way gain reassurance that your body is able to nourish your baby well, if that is your desire. What reasons did you have for doubting your ability to breastfeed? #breastfeeding #supportedisbest #newmama #ftm #newparents
