Want the glow without risking your flow? We dive into the beauty and body questions breastfeeding parents ask most and bring receipts from the InfantRisk Center so you can make confident, evidence-based choices. From cosmetic fillers and microneedling to topical retinoids and modern weight loss strategies, we separate local skin treatments from systemic exposures, explain what actually reaches milk, and call out the real-world factors that matter more than hype.

Some of the Topics Covered:

• why dermal fillers stay local and don’t reach milk when injected properly
• microneedling prep, numbing creams, and safe post-care serums
• topical retinoids hierarchy from cosmetic retinol to prescriptions
• oral retinoids to avoid due to systemic exposure
• calorie needs that include the cost of making milk
• hydration truths vs sports drink myths
• gentle return to exercise and pelvic floor priorities
• why GLP-1 weight loss drugs raise supply and nutrition concerns
• realistic timelines for fat loss while protecting infant growth

A new trend is making the rounds on TikTok: moms aiming to pump or breastfeed intensively for 6 months to create a stash big enough to feed their baby for an entire year. Sounds efficient, right? But what really happens when you try it?

In this milestone 50th episode, Naiomi teams up with Katie Tims IBCLC, for an unfiltered look at the promises, pitfalls, and everything in between. From how much milk babies actually need, to the realities of oversupply, freezer storage surprises, and what breastfeeding really feels like in the second half of the year—this conversation is eye-opening.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode

• Why the “6-month stash” plan is gaining popularity
• The truth about daily milk volumes and whether they keep increasing
• Oversupply: blessing, curse… or both?
• What parents often don’t anticipate about hormones, nutrition, and breast health
• The freezer stash surprise no one talks about (hint: taste changes!)
• Why many moms find breastfeeding easier—not harder—after 6 months
• A week-by-week approach that may serve families better long-term

Key Takeaway
Is the 6-month pumping plan a genius shortcut or a recipe for unnecessary stress? You’ll have to listen to find out.
