Breastfeeding traditionally can be met with—pain, latch struggles, and even premature baby feeding can make it tough. Nipple shields offer a temporary solution by protecting sore nipples and helping babies latch more effectively. When used with IBCLC guidance, they can ease your journey and make the transition back to natural breastfeeding smoother.

Postpartum recovery is a journey that requires more than just rest-it calls for intentional nutrition that fuels healing, energy, and emotional balance. From iron-rich foods that combat fatigue to omega-3s that stabilize mood and enhance breast milk, what new mothers eat directly shapes their recovery experience. Even small choices, like hydration and whole grains, can make a big difference. And for those craving comfort, lactation-friendly treats like The Leaky Momma’s cookies show that postpartum nutrition can be both functional and enjoyable.
