  • When Your Pediatrician Gets It Wrong: Breastfeeding Advice You Shouldn’t Follow
    May 2 2025

    Think your pediatrician knows everything about breastfeeding? Think again.

    In this episode of The Latch Lounge, I’m breaking down the most common (and shockingly outdated) pieces of breastfeeding advice moms hear from their pediatricians—and why following it can actually sabotage your feeding journey.

    We’ll talk about:

    • Why your baby nursing “all the time” doesn’t mean you don’t have enough milk
    • What to do before supplementing with formula
    • Why breastfeeding pain is common—but not normal
    • What real solutions look like when you’re getting dismissive or confusing advice

    You deserve expert support from someone who actually understands breastfeeding—not a one-size-fits-all opinion from someone who spent an hour on it in med school.

    Book your one-on-one lactation consult today and get the clear, personalized support your pediatrician couldn’t offer.

    Apr 18 2025

    The healthcare system in the United States can be tough to navigate—and that’s putting it nicely. So how do you begin to find the breastfeeding support you deserve?

    I’m Amber Ginn, IBCLC, and I’m here to breakdown in-person vs. virtual lactation support in the U.S., and how you can find the support you deserve. You’ll get the straight-up truth on what works, why you’re already paying for help through insurance, and how to navigate the healthcare system for quality lactation care.

    What You’ll Learn:

    • The gaps in continuity of care for maternal health and lactation support.
    • How insurance covers lactation care—why you need to use it.
    • Benefits of virtual lactation care vs in-person care.
    • Confidence to find support that fits your needs.

    Do not wait to reach out until things are a mess—you deserve care now! Virtual lactation support gives you expert help that sticks around, teaches you the “why” behind the “how,” and meets you right where you are—no judgment, no pressure. You’re already paying for this through insurance, so why not use it? Reach out now—whether things are smooth or a mess, I’ve got your back.
