Pregnancy is one of the most personal, powerful, and unpredictable experiences we go through as human beings. Whether you’re preparing for your very first baby or adding another little love to your growing family, one truth always stands strong: every birth is different, and every parent deserves support through it.

When you’re expecting a baby, there are so many things on your mind: preparing for labor, setting up the nursery, navigating prenatal appointments, and figuring out what kind of parent you want to be. But there’s one topic that often gets overlooked—and it can have a big impact on your baby’s feeding, sleep, and development: tongue ties.

Postpartum recovery is not just about “bouncing back”—let’s go ahead and throw that entire idea in the trash where it belongs. The truth is, healing after birth takes time, support, and intentional care. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned from working with families from all kinds of backgrounds, it’s this: 💡 Cultures that prioritize postpartum care do it better.

Bringing a baby into the world is magical, but let’s be real—feeding that tiny human isn’t always the seamless, Instagram-perfect experience we expect. Whether you plan to breastfeed, bottle-feed, or do a combination, understanding common feeding challenges before your baby arrives can make a world of difference.

Becoming a parent is like stepping onto the wildest roller coaster of your life—one minute you’re flying high, the next you’re wondering how on earth you’re supposed to assemble a breast pump at 2 a.m. Feeding your baby should be one of those things that just works, right? Spoiler alert: not always. If you’re pregnant or navigating postpartum life and finding yourself overwhelmed with feeding struggles, let’s chat. There’s a secret weapon you need in your corner: feeding therapy. And trust me, it’s a game-changer.

Pregnancy is a transformative journey, but what happens after birth is just as important—if not more so. Yet, so many new mothers find themselves overwhelmed, exhausted, and under-supported during their postpartum recovery. The truth is, your body, mind, and spirit need care just as much as your newborn does.

Many cultures around the world honor postpartum as a sacred period, one where new mothers receive intentional care, rest, and nourishment. But in modern Western culture, the emphasis is often placed on "bouncing back" instead of healing deeply. What if we shifted the focus? What if postpartum was seen as a time to replenish, restore, and be nurtured?

Pregnancy is an exciting time filled with anticipation, but let’s face it—parenthood comes with its own set of challenges. Whether you’re a first-time mom or expanding your family, the journey doesn’t stop at birth. In fact, it’s just the beginning. That’s why preparing for parenthood—particularly in terms of postpartum care and support—should be top priority.
