It was 3am. Her baby had been at the breast for what felt like hours, and she was the one crying. The baby had finally fallen asleep. But she was sitting in the dark, staring at a pumping output that barely covered the bottom of the bottle, wondering if she was failing. If this sounds familiar, you are not alone.

THC and Breastfeeding: The Truth Nobody Told You If you've ever Googled "weed and breastfeeding" at 2am while nursing a baby and trying to hold yourself together, this post is for you.

Most families assume all lactation support is the same. It is not. While there are many skilled and ethical providers, there are also practices that leave parents feeling pressured, confused, or even harmed. As a consumer advocate in the breastfeeding space, I believe parents deserv

Every year, when the sniffles start spreading through the house, mamas everywhere start asking one big question — “Can I still breastfeed if I’m sick?” The short answer: yes, and you absolutely should.
