Go out. Even if your baby cries. Even if they’ll be not cute around others. Even if you haven’t showered. ![]()
And let’s stop apologizing for little humans doing things little humans do like cry, feed, and make sounds. ![]()
We all started out as babies and became toddlers and preschoolers. Children are part of the human experience and necessary as part of human existence. ![]()
I’m traveling today and had the chance to entertain a little one that was struggling during my flight. The mom kept apologizing and said she thought her baby would just nurse and everything would be fine but her baby wasn’t interested and wouldn’t stop crying. ![]()
Girl, I get it, I’m at a loss too when the boob doesn’t fix everything for my baby!![]()
I got to play peek-a-boo and let the baby feel my knitting and play with the pompom of my hat to give mom a break and go to the bathroom by herself. ![]()
She didn’t have good bags or snacks and that’s ok, she doesn’t need to. Babies are going to be babies and as a former baby myself as we all started out, I can deal with that part of the human experience. ![]()
But I will pay myself on the back a bit, I got the baby to stop crying and even got a tiny smile. Of course, I couldn’t have done that with my own baby, when you house your baby’s milk it can be a little bit more tricky.

testimonials
"If you've ever had a child or been a parent you know what it means to say that each day is a new experiment. There is so much to figure out, and so many self-proclaimed helpful resources. Fortunately, Jessica Martin-Weber, owner/creator/author of The Leaky Boob, has the answers based on science, best practice, and practical advice stemming from her own experiences raising nine children. TLB is a go-to for all people expecting, lactating, raising children, or counseling any of the aforementioned groups. Want advice on speed dial? Check out TheLeakyBoob.com."

Kim Updegrove, MSN, MPH, APRN, CNM, chairperson and Past President of Human Milk Bank of North America, Executive Director at Mothers' Milk Bank at Austin
"I found TLB and Jessica when I was desperately trying to figure out how to keep breastfeeding my eldest, who my lactation consultant still says had the worst latch she has ever seen. Jessica had created something so special-amazing information, a supportive community amidst the mommy wars, content in many different formats for those of us who need to see/read/hear in different ways, and it is no exaggeration to say that her work was instrumental in not just saving that breastfeeding journey (which would extend through 3 years, 18 months of that tandem nursing) but in setting me up for success and support in future journeys, and truly for motherhood as a whole. The down to earth way she writes makes the information relatable and easy to digest and apply. I am forever grateful."

Dr. Jennifer Stone, PT, DPT, OCS, PHC, TPS, HLC
"The Leaky Boob has met a need in the lactating community since its inception. Jessica’s breastfeeding support group is a true pioneer in the online breastfeeding community, offering families exceptional education and unwavering support long before similar pages emerged. Her transparency, authenticity, and heartfelt encouragement create a safe and empowering space where parents feel heard and guided. It’s a shining example of what real, compassionate leadership looks like!"
