“How Do I Increase Milk Supply?” And Other Things We Google as New Moms

By a Leander, Texas Motherhood Photographer Who Gets It

Becoming a new mom is a beautiful, transformative experience—but let’s be honest: it’s also overwhelming. If you’ve ever found yourself googling things like “how do I increase milk supply?” at 3 a.m. with a crying baby on your chest, know you’re not alone.

At some point, most of us dive deep into the rabbit hole of search results hoping to find answers, reassurance, and a little peace. As a motherhood photographer in Leander, Texas, I meet so many women walking through these early days with a mix of joy, confusion, love, and exhaustion.

So today, let’s talk about a few of the most common things new moms search online—and why that curiosity is a sign of your deep love and commitment. And while we’re at it, let’s also explore how capturing this raw, real season through photography can be one of the most grounding gifts you give yourself.

“How Do I Increase Milk Supply?”

This one is at the top of nearly every new mom’s search history. Whether you're nursing, pumping, or combo-feeding, feeding your baby can become an emotional rollercoaster.

Quick Tips Moms Find Helpful:

  • Staying hydrated

  • Power pumping sessions

  • Skin-to-skin contact

  • Fenugreek, oats, and other galactagogues

  • Working with a lactation consultant

But here’s what the blogs don’t always say: You’re already doing an incredible job. Your worth is not tied to ounces, bottles, or supply levels. You are enough. Full stop.

“Why Does My Baby Grunt So Much?”

Spoiler alert: it’s usually normal. Newborns are adjusting to life outside the womb, and all those little grunts and noises are part of it. But when you’re hearing it in the dark at 2 a.m., it can sound alarming.

Moms often search for:

  • Signs of gas or reflux

  • Normal newborn sleep sounds

  • When to worry vs. when to wait

A reminder for you: You’re not paranoid—you’re just a good mom paying attention.

“Will I Ever Feel Like Myself Again?”

Physically, emotionally, and mentally—this is one of the biggest questions new moms quietly carry. It’s okay to grieve parts of who you were while also loving who you are becoming.

Some healing comes from being witnessed.
This is why motherhood photography matters. When you book a session that’s focused on this tender, fleeting chapter, you’re not just getting beautiful images—you’re seeing yourself from the outside, with softness and reverence.

“What Should I Do With All These Baby Photos on My Phone?”

You’ve got thousands of snaps from late nights and early mornings. But you’re not in many of them, are you?

That’s where I come in. I offer cozy, connection-focused motherhood photography sessions in Leander, Texas designed to reflect you—the mom who is present, loving, real, and deeply enough.

  • Quiet nursing or bottle-feeding moments

Why Booking a Motherhood Session Might Be the Most Healing Thing You Do

In the swirl of baby books, Google searches, pediatrician appointments, and emotional ups and downs, you deserve to be seen. Not just as someone’s mom, but as a whole person.

When you book a motherhood or newborn session with me, you're not just booking photos. You're saying:

✨ “This season matters.”
