The few weeks of breastfeeding were so rough! Nothing about breastfeeding worked.⁣ When I pumped for the first time, I remember thinking, “How am I going to do this for a year?” Cece struggled to latch, we were doing triple feedings, I developed mastitis, and I was crying through every nursing and pumping sessions.⁣
Only after meeting with Stacy and putting a plan in place did things start working. Cece and I have now been exclusively breastfeeding for a full year! I look back at those first few months and truly can’t believe where the time has gone.

I struggled with sore nipples at first but we got her latch perfected and she never looked back! Around 8 months I had noticed a drop in my supply while pumping at work and Stacy gave some tips on how to ramp back up my supply. Here we are, a little over a year and going strong with breastfeeding!

The support, tips and community of motherhood from Mom’s Milk Club was essential for me, especially at the beginning of each breastfeeding journey.
Lastly, I decided from the beginning that breast milk was what I wanted both of my girls to get no matter the amount (I’m a NICU nurse so I know that every single drop matters!!).

Having a newborn amidst a global pandemic has been stressful. I am lucky to have many supportive family members who know about breastfeeding, but social distancing has left me without the support I had envisioned pre-baby. Stacy and Moms Milk Club have both been a wonderful way to fill this gap. Stacy provided us with virtual lactation visits and has answered calls and texts. She is always able to offer excellent advice with kindness no matter what issue we are facing. I would recommend e-reaching out to Stacy if you have any issues or needs.
