Lactation and Love

Target’s annual car seat trade-in event begins April 18

Are you a pumpin’ mama?

Pumps aren’t always needed, but they allow many to breastfeed when life’s challenges and events are thrown our way!

This little girl and her mama had so many struggles from day one. Her mama was strong and fierce and was going to fight to breastfeed, as that is what she chose for her child.
This little girl and her mama are one of the ones that made me realize I can do this; they gave me the confidence I needed to open my own business to continue to support mothers who wish to breastfeed.

I’ve been able to help several other mothers as well, all in which helped me make this decision. I’m so grateful to them, as they trusted me during such a sensitive and vulnerable time in their lives.

The mother sent me this form from the babe’s 4 month well-visit. Words cannot describe how good it feels be able to see that this baby is now exclusively breastfed and thriving! It took a lot to get there, but we did it!

Breastfeeding is a journey and there are likely to be bumps in the road along the way. However, all these women know they can contact me anytime to work things out. This is my philosophy, and is unique compared to other LCs.

As parents, you make a lot of decisions about the different paths you will take raising your children. Breastfeeding is one of the first decisions of many. I will never judge you, or anyone else who has chosen or will choose not to breastfeed, or has stopped breastfeeding before they had planned. This is YOUR CHOICE and I am here to help you make the best choice for YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

Hi Everyone!

Though I have been practicing as a lactation consultant for some time now, I’m just getting a hang of social media and marketing, so please bare with me! Hope to have some great informational (and funny!) posts coming your way!
