Happy Valentine’s Day!

Did you know that oxytocin is the not only the love hormone, but it’s also the hormone that is responsible for birthing your baby and the milk ejection reflex?

Whether it’s love at first sight, making love, giving birth, or breastfeeding, we are releasing oxytocin and creating bonds with the other person.

Let the oxytocin flow and fall in love all over again when breastfeeding!

Milk thistle is great for the liver but did you know that it’s great for milk production too?

There is a compound in milk thistle called silymarin and I studied it’s been shown to increase milk production by 85.94%. The placebo group was only 32.09% so that’s quite an effect!! I’ve seen in my practice that women with better liver and digestive function make more milk. It makes sense because milk is made from blood and blood is made from the food we eat.

Have you tried milk thistle or silymarin? I’d love to hear if it worked for you!

What’s the most magical part of motherhood for you? ⠀⠀ #motherhoodunplugged #honestmotherhood #normalizebreastfeeding #breastfeedingmama #breastfeedingmythsandfacts #mamasmilk #naturalmama #feedwithlove #postpartum #mamaandbaby #IBCLC #lactationconsultant #breastfeeding #breastfeedingmama #normalizebreastfeeding #pumpingmom #lactation #lactationcookies #newborn #newmom #postpartum #postpartumjourney #momlife #breastisbest #nursingmom #nursinginpublic #motherhood #newmom #scottsdalemoms #phoenixmoms #azmom

This is my daughter. This bright-eyed beauty has been my best business partner. When I started my private practice she was just 4 months old. I brought her to every single appointment with me. I was able to nurse her on demand and demonstrate all sorts of breastfeeding techniques with my very own baby. Oh my clients loved that!!
.
It felt like I was not just offering breastfeeding support, but also sisterhood. Women breastfeeding together creates a strong bond and builds trust. I was able to show them what was possible in front of their very own eyes.
.
I think new mothers should take time off after giving birth so they can recover and develop a deep bond with their babies. But they should also have the freedom to take their babies with them wherever they go. Owning my own business allowed me to do that.
.
Most of the time, it hardly felt like I was working. I did what I loved—helping other moms succeed at breastfeeding while breastfeeding my own child.
.
Now that Elise is older, I sometimes miss having her with me when I work. And part of motherhood is letting go and letting our children live their own lives. She’s only 2.5 years old now and still nursing and still so much my baby. But she’s also fiercely independent and I feel so blessed watching her grow into her own person.
