It’s getting hot out there, folks- so here’s your friendly reminder to stay hydrated!
Did you know that your breast milk has all the hydration your baby needs? Water is not suggested as a source of hydration before 6 months of age, and after 6 months you can start offering sips here and there as you introduce solids. Until then, your milk is made up of everything your little one needs to quench their thirst and stay regulated 🥰

If you are feeding your baby in hotter temperatures, it’s important to ensure you’re drinking adequate water to keep up with your own needs- your body is doing a big job. So stay cool and keep those water bottles filled! 😉

Calling a friend when you need it. Talking to a neighbour who’s been through it. Chatting with a parent in the pickup line. It’s always been a thing that people feel comfortable seeking support when they can talk to someone who truly understands!

So we made a program that uses the idea of connecting with a peer/parent to support you in your feeding journey by truly listening to you and meeting you with zero judgement. We are parents who have been through the murky waters of feeding our babies, and we are here to be your landline 😉

Chat with us today to see how you can get connected with feeding support via text, phone, email or video chat! No busy signals ❤️

We often hear from parents who feel that the ‘fun’ is missing from breastfeeding- those times where you feel like you’re doing so many things to feed your baby that it’s feeling like a full-time job, and that you’re just a “milk machine”. Breast/chestfeeding, a vigorous pumping schedule, preparing and feeding bottles- it can be overwhelming! As parents ourselves, we have been there too- and we want to gently remind anyone that needs to hear it today that you are SO much more than just a meal 🥹 Your baby is benefitting from every drop of your milk, every quiet snuggle as you feed them, and every little connection you make.
When feeding feels overwhelming, we remind you to go back to basics- take a break, and enjoy some skin to skin time with your baby. Your breast/chest is a happy place to be at all times- not just for feeding. Every cuddle you have together trades smells and stimulates hormones that signal your body to make milk and help the feeding process along.
So sit back, have a cuddle, and take a breath. You’re doing a great job!
If you’d like to connect with a mentor about your feeding questions, we are happy to support you ❤️

Sometimes we get asked about our fave tips to share with parents- while there are many, here are 5 we would like to share with you to read when you need it ❤️
1: you and your baby are learning this together. Feeding your baby takes practice and you are both new to this journey! Be kind to yourself and remember that you don’t have to have it all figured out right away.
2: it’s different for everyone. What worked for other friends and family may not work for you- and that’s ok! You know your baby best and you’ll make decisions that are right for you both.
3: things can fluctuate. Supply sometimes dips or swells when you’re sick, stressed, hormonal, working through baby’s growth spurts- it often just means you are in tune with your body and needing some support. Asking a health care provider or milk mentor for support and clarity is good!
4: embrace connection: when feeding feels tough, you can always take a break and snuggle your baby to keep time around the breast/chest happy and calming. Skin to skin naturally helps supply and has great benefits for baby and parent.
5: sing it from the rooftops- EVERY DROP COUNTS. You are doing grand things for your baby and every drop of milk you provide helps them in some way.

We had to jump on this trend so you could learn more about our Family Wellness team! Our wonderful group includes support for folks from pregnancy to the teenage parenting years- and as parents ourselves, we know the importance of having a safe and welcoming space to share and ask questions about parenting, feeding, and more.

If you’d like support, whatever stage you’re at- check out our .babyandme and programs for info on prenatal classes, parenting groups, drop-in programs and more ❤️
