Pumpology Intro

Dear Pumping Moms,

Welcome to the BabyBuddha Pumpologist blog. 🍼 

Whether you’re navigating pumping for the first time or looking for new ways to make this tough, selfless, beautiful journey just a little easier, you’ve come to the right place.

So what is Pumpology?

We like to think it’s a catalogue of everything you could want to know about pumping human milk. While International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs) are trained to be experts in helping parents bring their babies to breast, they often need to seek out additional education to truly understand the intricacies of pumping, as it’s not a core part of the certification. 

That’s where our carefully selected Pumpologists come in to help you fill the gap with specialized knowledge, practical tips, and endless support to help you thrive on your journey.

Meet Paula Norcott, A True Pumpologist!

Paula calls herself the BS-free IBCLC, and with good reason! With over 22 years of experience supporting breastfeeding and baby-feeding parents, Paula offers a family-centered approach to supporting feeding. She’s unafraid to talk about all of it with candor (and humor!)—the heartache and the joy, the sleepless nights and thankless days, and the pride every mom should feel in however they choose to feed their baby.

Paula is passionate about empowering parents to overcome challenges, especially when it comes to pumping. Frustrated by how maternal pain is often dismissed and slow infant weight gain is unfairly blamed on breastfeeding parents, she’s made it her mission to arm families with confidence, knowledge, and the tools they need to succeed.

She describes her approach best: “Every family is unique, every case is different. There’s no one right way—just the right way for that family in that situation.”

When Paula isn’t working with families, you’ll find her sipping a pink drink, scrolling TikTok, or attempting to keep her houseplants alive. As a mom of five boys, she knows all about juggling chaos with grace, and she brings that same compassion and problem-solving expertise to her practice.

And what makes BabyBuddha so unique?
