GROW Advanced Lactation Support

Progress in infant feeding isn't always linear.

There are so many pieces that can contribute to feeding challenges—body tension, oral motor skills, GI discomfort, breathing patterns, sensory differences, and more. Because of that, feeding support is often about untangling a complex puzzle rather than finding a single quick fix.

It can feel discouraging to walk into an appointment hoping for answers, only to realize there isn't just one thing standing in the way. The reality is that meaningful progress often requires a team approach, with each provider helping address a different piece of the picture.

Sometimes we can't make the progress we want with oral motor skills because body tension is still getting in the way. Sometimes GI discomfort has to improve before feeding feels easier. Sometimes we need to take a step sideways before we can take a step forward.

That doesn't mean progress isn't happening. It simply means we're working through the layers bit by bit.

The good news: there's no time limit on progress! Try to let go of the fear that if you don't get baby latching by X weeks old, that there's no hope for improvement. (easier said than done, I know!), but progress is right around the corner.

There are so many “booby traps” in breastfeeding, things people tell you with the best intentions that can actually make feeding harder.

In this episode, Amsy & Stephanie break down some of the biggest mistakes they see when it comes to breastfeeding, pumping, milk supply, and postpartum recovery, from using the wrong fl**ge size to outdated clogged duct advice, tongue tie confusion, supply dips around your period, high lipase milk, and more.

We’re talking about:
✨ Why fl**ge fit matters more than you think
✨ The truth about “nipple confusion”
✨ Emergency tongue tie releases
✨ Why aggressive massage for clogged ducts is outdated
✨ When pumping after birth actually makes sense
✨ Breastfeeding + birth control myths
✨ And the things we wish more families knew sooner

Because sometimes the biggest challenge isn’t breastfeeding itself, it’s all the bad advice around it.
