Milk & Honey Co., is different because our Mind, Body & Babee     model of care integrates clinical and holistic body care. Our work understands that babees regulate through bodies, and breastfeeding mothers heal through being held-emotionally, physically and energetically. Your initial consultation includes a detailed intake assessment to get know you and your medical history to understand the goals for your journey and facilitate a care plan that would most benefit your journey..
 
We gently assess: 
-How birth shaped your babee's body, reflexes, and feeding patterns
-How your babee feeds through a comprehensive latch, positioning and feeding review
-How stress and depletion are living in your prenatal and postpartum body
-How touch, positioning, rhythm and environment influence regulation 
-How breastfeeding and bonding are inseparable 
 
We do not rush. We don't override intuition. We work with your body and your babee's cues, not against them. Our lactation care supports maternal-infant wellness by fostering your physical health and emotional regulation through the release of hormones like oxytocin, prolactin, melatonin and dopamine. These hormones promote bonding, reduce maternal stress/anxiety, and improve sleep-wake cycles. Responsive, breastfeeding-based care helps regulate infant emotions and strengthens the mother-child attachment. 
 
This is slow and intentional care.
Care that honors the intelligence of your body and your babee, too.

***This care is not meant to replace the advice of a medical professional but add complementary holistic practices that have been proven to support the emotional well being of newly pregnant to postpartum breastfeeding mothers and their babees.***
