🛑Formula companies invest heavily in marketing, often overshadowing research and development efforts!
🛑This dominance influences parental choices and makes it hard for alternative brands to compete.
🛑The manufacturing process involves extensive chemical processing, compromising nutritional integrity.
🛑Aggressive marketing tactics can undermine breastfeeding, despite its clear health benefits.
🚯Additionally, the environmental impact of formula production and packaging is substantial.
💖Let's prioritize informed parental choices that support infant health and the planet.💖

To the mom navigating the challenges of wanting to breastfeed her NICU baby but facing discouragement, your desire to provide the best for your little one is commendable. It's crucial to seek a second opinion or consult with lactation specialists who can explore all possibilities. Remember, each baby is unique, and circumstances can change. Stay informed, advocate for your baby's needs, and trust in your instincts. Your love and determination are powerful forces – don't hesitate to pursue the breastfeeding journey you envision for you and your precious one... or two! 💖🤱

Hey everyone! I'm Jessica, a passionate advocate for breastfeeding support and a devoted mother to a 2.5-year-old. My journey into lactation consulting was deeply influenced by my own challenges in breastfeeding. As a former firefighter and EMT with experience in the Emergency Department, I've been exposed to various healthcare scenarios, but it was my personal experience with a traumatic emergency C-section that led me through postpartum depression, anxiety, and a multitude of breastfeeding challenges.

My determination to breastfeed fueled my pursuit of lactation education and support, which not only salvaged my breastfeeding journey but inspired me to become a certified Clinical and Communication Lactation Specialist. I understand the struggles firsthand and bring a unique perspective to my practice. When I'm not supporting mothers and babies, you'll find me outdoors, reveling in activities like hunting, camping, and cherishing moments with my family and friends. I'm here to empower and guide you through your own breastfeeding adventure with empathy, knowledge, and unwavering support. 🩷🤱🏼

In the midst of a tough week with my little one under the weather, there's nothing more comforting than being able to provide some extra love and nourishment through breastfeeding. 🤱 When they're sick, breastfeeding isn't just about sustenance; it's a source of comfort, immunity-boosting, and a connection that goes beyond words. 🩷

Breastfeeding Week 🌸
A week to celebrate and congratulate all the mothers who put in the hard work no matter the duration.

I started out having a rough time with Capri for a solid 3 months. Chiropractic and a lactation consultant had changed the journey for me.
I am grateful for still being able to breastfeed my 2.5 year old, and it will be bitter sweet for it to end. But look at that little smile 🥹 It makes it ALL worth it ❤️
