Breastfeeding often appears idealized in movies and social media, depicting serene nursing moments in pristine environments. However, the reality can be starkly different, involving challenges like cracked nipples, clogged ducts, and latch issues, all amidst household chaos. Despite the joy my three boys brought me,
I faced significant difficulties while breastfeeding, compounded by inadequate support from my medical team. Motivated by my own struggles and the lack of available guidance, I became an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant.
My goal is to provide the kind of support I found lacking, helping other moms navigate the complex, often frustrating world of breastfeeding, especially those who are struggling and receiving misinformed advice.
