About Me
During my first pregnancy, I was on the fence regarding how I would feed my daughter: formula or breastfeed? I had no experience with either; one sister-in-law formula-fed, another one breastfed.
After taking a prenatal breastfeeding class, I decided to give it a try. Two daughters and two and a half years of breastfeeding later, I was confident that I'd made the right decision for our family.
Lactation is natural, but it isn't instinctual... it's a socially learned skill that requires practice. I was lucky to have an excellent support system during my feeding journey, and I would be honored to help you find success in yours.
