Why I Don’t Recommend Buying Lactation Guides from Content Creators

August 29, 2025

When you’re desperate for breastfeeding or pumping help, a $7 downloadable guide can sound like a lifesaver.

But here’s the truth: many of these guides are…

  • AI-written without review
  • Not fact-checked by a lactation professional
  • Outdated, unsafe, or outside the creator’s scope of care

And while I believe most creators truly want to help, if they’re not a CLC (Certified Lactation Counselor) or IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant), they shouldn’t be teaching you how to pump or how to “triple your supply.” You can read my blog breaking down the difference here.

That’s where professional training and accountability matter.

But Wait…Don’t You Sell Guides?

Yep, I do! But none of my guides contain lactation advice. I stay firmly in my lane as a content creator, focusing on tools and resources that make your exclusive pumping life easier.

  • Fav on the go products with discounts codes!!
  • What to wear to pump while traveling
  • Transporting milk on planes, trains, and automobiles (ok no trains, but the other two!)
  • TSA and airline policies one click away so you don’t have to research anything
  • Packing list for you and baby

Why My Guides Are Different

➡️No false promises about supply.
➡️No unverified “hacks.”
➡️100% focused on organization, advocacy, and making your life easier.

Because true lactation support comes from professionals — and my role is to support you by giving you practical tools for real-life situations.


Freebie Example: Pumping Email Template

Here’s a snippet from my Back-to-Work Guide you can copy/paste today:

Subject: Pumping Breaks Upon Return

Hi [Name],


I wanted to loop you in that I’ll be continuing to express breast milk while working, and plan to take a time block of [X] minutes, every [X] hours. I’ll schedule them on my calendar to minimize disruption and stay as efficient as possible.

This is a boundary I could really use your partnership on maintaining while I continue on this journey. Please let me know if there are any logistics we should align on before I return.

Thanks so much,
[Your Name]


Because your pumping journey deserves tools that empower you — not unsafe shortcuts. 💗
