About The Breastfeeding Mama
What started as a Facebook group in 2015 started by a mom who recognized that breastfeeding support was seriously lacking has turned into a massive breastfeeding community and educational website.
Katie Clark, mom of three boys, struggled big time to breastfeed her second child. Despite having a good support network, she struggled to find pediatricians and medical providers that knew anything about breastfeeding.
After experiencing this, she realized how much breastfeeding moms struggled, and she started The Breastfeeding Mama Support Group on Facebook.
This group quickly grew (and it currently has over 23,000 members) – and as it grew, Katie decided to create as many free and affordable resources to help breastfeeding families around the world meet their goals.
The Breastfeeding Mama Instagram and the website were launched in 2019 and have continued to grow, reach, and support millions of families around the world through its fun, engaging, and evidence-based breastfeeding content.
