i just barely dipped my toe into the babywearing world when my oldest Revan was about 6 months old. and now that we have two littles under 3 years old — it is a dang staple in my daily life!!! especially when i am home with my boys and Corran is teething and will not […]

i know hospital staff and especially lactation can get a really bad rap. they’re blamed for us not getting started on breastfeeding correctly, for a wrong flange size, or not having the size we need! (and if i’m being honest, sometimes this is warranted depending on the individual folks, or the hospital!!!) BUT i wanted […]

you know the feeling, right? pumping for your normal 25 minute pump session, you think everything is going fine, but you take a peek and you look in your collection bottles aaaand nothing. okay, what feels like nothing because you know your body holds more milk than you’re seeing in your bottles. cue the panic, […]

okay first thing before we get into this question — we have to keep in mind that this is very general information and may not necessarily fit well for you. my CLC education allows me to talk about this with pumping and nursing specifics, but any additional health concerns, i highly recommend you meet with […]

yes, i said it — flange sizing is SO unsexy. it’s measuring, it’s logical, but you want that milk flowin’ right?! that’s the fun part, the part of pumping that we all look forward to!!! i will say this only once, my friend — YOU HAVE TO MEASURE YOUR NIPPLES. omg i never thought i […]

hiiiii my name is Bethany, i’m a lactation counselor, but i also work a 9-5 (i mean if we’re being technical, 8-6) job! i’m a receptionist at a family owned animal hospital — my mom has worked at this clinic for (not even exaggerating) almost my whole life!!! my bosses are like family, and it’s […]

i made it a goal to be as organized and simple as i can with my pumping equipment as a type B + ADHD human, who isn’t always the tidiest! after some trial and error, and trying to figure out where to hold everything — here is what is working best for me, my pumping […]

it’s been on my heart to simplify this pumping journey with my second child Corran — i only want to keep equipment in our kitchen and “out” that i truly use!!! because if i’m being honest and revealing my type B nature? i never actually was able to clean up and put away all of […]

my mom’s side of the family is incredibly Scandinavian (Swedish + Norweigian especially), and this recipe is a wintertime favorite from my grandma has made literally since i can remember! especially in the wintertime months. now my mom has been making it for the last few years because we are the only two in my […]

basically my mantra for packing my hospital bag for our second son has been “as least amount of ish possible to still feel prepared and comfortable”. this is our second baby, but first time planned hospital birth! so it kinda feels like our first round since i don’t know what to expect 100% from a […]
