Welcome to Season 2 of Spill the Milk. 🥛
And fair warning—you may notice I'm a little spicier this season.
After more than 20 years of working with moms and babies, I've become pretty protective of you and your feeding goals. I'm not here to convince you to breastfeed. I'm here to help you understand what's happening, make informed decisions, and fight for the feeding experience you want.
And sometimes that means I have a few things to say. 😉
We're starting Season 2 with something I see all the time: moms who are terrified they aren't making enough milk.
We have more breastfeeding information available to us than ever before. We can track ounces, minutes, feeds, diapers, sleep, pump output, freezer stashes, weight, and just about everything else.
Then we open social media and see another mom pumping eight ounces, a freezer overflowing with breast milk, or a baby following a picture-perfect feeding schedule.
But here's the problem:
You're seeing the data. You're not seeing the context.
In this episode, we're talking about supply anxiety, pump output, unrealistic expectations, conflicting breastfeeding advice, social media comparison, and why one number—or one TikTok—cannot tell you the whole story of a breastfeeding relationship.
Sometimes we need to stop staring at one feed, one pump session, or one number and zoom out.
How is your baby doing?
How are you doing?
What does feeding look like over 24 hours?
And is there actually evidence that something isn't working—or are you afraid because your experience doesn't look like what someone told you breastfeeding was supposed to look like?
Your baby is an individual. So are you.
Let's look at the whole picture.
