About me

Welcome to you and your family! Being a parent is hard and can feel overwhelming even on the good days! You may feel like you have tried everything to feed your crying baby including changing nursing positions, latching deeply, or trying a new bottle. I am here to tell you that you are doing all the right things! Your attention and dedication to their needs shows how much you love them. Your early struggles do not mean that your infant feeding goals are doomed to fail. I know that you are a strong, capable person and are a family who will succeed. I believe everyone can overcome obstacles to achieve their infant feeding goals with a community of support. Let’s work together to navigate the challenges, explore possible solutions, and discover tools to help empower you towards your goals!
