Hi, I’m Barbara Nelson. If you’re expecting or just had a new baby, you’re probably feeling excited but also a little overwhelmed. I understand because I’ve spent over a decade helping parents navigate newborn feeding. I understand the challenges that sometimes come with feeding a baby, and how valuable reassurance can be.

There’s so much information out there. Some of it’s helpful, some is conflicting, and some of it just adds to the stress. My goal is to help parents cut through the noise, not add to it, so you feel confident while making informed decisions about feeding your baby. The resources on this website encourage you to trust your instincts and learn to watch your baby's cues which I believe is the most important skill a parent can learn.

My Background & Experience

I’ve worked in newborn feeding and lactation support for over 10 years, helping families as they learn to feed their babies. Over time, I saw the same worries come up again and again:

• How do I know my baby is eating enough?

• What if feeding doesn’t go as planned?

• Do I need all these baby products, or are they just clever marketing?

• I think something’s wrong but my doctor isn’t worried.

The truth is, newborns don’t follow a perfect schedule, and there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to feeding or motherhood. But there are things you can understand that will make this phase easier, help you identify issues before they snowball, and get you back on track.
