Breast pain is no joke. When you have breast pain and are trying to pump or breastfeed, it can be almost prohibitive. It can also be confusing. You are in touch with your body in a way that you’ve never experienced before. Discovering these new things about your body, your breasts, and connecting with your baby, there will be things that you do not know.

This is a bit tricky. When we think about the size of our breasts, we generally think in terms of clothing and underwear. You are X size so you need Y bra size. Simple right? Since the flanges fit up against your breast tissue, the same concept should apply to your breast pump, right?

Are you pumping for the first time? Pumped for your first child and ready to bust out your breast pump for your next child?  What about if you’re  currently pumping with other kids at home? 

In this post we’ll answer a common question our Mommy Care Team receives, can I use lubrication with the BeauGen Breast Pump Cushions? We’ll also provide information about the product that is recommended by our Mommy Care Team, and where you can get it.  Hint: It’s closer than you might think!

Luckily for modern moms, there is a better, more sustainable option for storing your breast milk.  BeauGen’s team of moms found Junobie Reusable Milk Storage Bags and we have fallen in love.  Better for Mother Earth, your sanity, and your wallet, it’s not hard to see why moms all over the world are falling in love with Junobie bags.

There are a variety of ways in which you can hold or position your baby to breastfeed.  Different moms will prefer different positions.  Finding which position is right for you and your baby is a trial and error effort.  To help you, we’ve put together a post on some of the different ways a lactation specialist or IBCLC will have you try during your hospital stay.

Not all breast milk is the same.  Did you know that your milk changes over time? Breast milk, AKA Liquid Gold, Nectar of the Gods, or the ever fun ...

The truth about breastfeeding is that it’s not always easy.  Yes, some moms will be able to do it from day one, but others will struggle.  Every mom’s breasts are unique. Our breasts are different shapes and sizes.  Some nipples are better suited for nursing, while others are inverted or elastic.  Having difficulty nursing doesn’t make you any less of a mom.  In fact, it’s perfectly normal. It just means moms might have to try a few different techniques to find a way that works between mama and baby.

We understand that you have a lot going on in the final weeks of your pregnancy.  Finalizing your nursery, preparing your birth plan, washing itty bitty baby clothes, baby proofing your home and now we’re heaping on learning about breastfeeding.  But, taking some time to read up on this important part of motherhood can help to smooth out the first few weeks of your baby’s life.

Did you know there are approximately 130 million babies born worldwide each year and only 31,000 IBCLCs? Hold up. Before we address that question, I should probably make sure you know that an IBCLC is an abbreviation for a healthcare professional who supports all things breastfeeding (more on that later). 

When some moms remove BeauGen Breast Pump Cushions from the package, they often notice the unique, sticky texture of the cushion material. Learn more about why BeauGen cushions are sticky and how it helps moms pump in comfort.
