Breastfeeding is one of the only areas in our lives where we have zero experience and no training, but we still expect that we'll know exactly what to do right from day one.
I was a practicing Nurse Practitioner when I had my first baby. So, I naturally expected that I would get this new mom thing right. After all, I had ALL this baby experience. But, just like many other moms, I felt like a failure when breastfeeding was going poorly. When I remember back to that time, I can still feel the sting of that "failure" in my heart, the helplessness at not knowing how to feed my baby. No one taught me anything about breastfeeding in school. And not having any education or support made the breastfeeding learning curve REALLY steep as a new mom. I now know that I was NOT alone in those feelings. You might even tell me that you are feeling that way right now. Luckily for me, someone came along and offered to help me and I ended up loving the breastfeeding experience with my babies. But, without that help, I would surely have given up. Helping other moms with breastfeeding became a passionate pursuit for me after that. And I want to help you have a breastfeeding journey that is joyful for you, too.

Virtual Lactation Consults
Rachel - Mom of a medically fragile child
When I got connected with LuAnn, I had reached the point of desperation. My second baby was born underweight with a heart defect and had heart surgery at six days old. During our time in the hospital, our caregivers pushed bottle feeding over breastfeeding in order for her to gain weight. The result was exclusive pumping, reflux, and a lot of stress on the entire family.
LuAnn listened intently to our experience and brought a lot of clinical knowledge to the conversation. She assessed Millie feeding, me pumping and talked through our bottle feeding techniques with the same expertise we experienced with speech therapists in the hospital. She helped me uncover several issues that were contributing to Millie's reflux. She also educated me on many of the benefits of breastfeeding that I didn't already know which gave me confidence that Millie would continue to gain weight and thrive if we decided that exclusive breastfeeding was right for us. Over the next few weeks, Millie and I practiced with LuAnn's advice. By our third and final consult ( all virtual by the way) Millie was exclusively breastfed and no longer suffered with reflux. Millie is no longer underweight and is such a happy baby. I couldn't be more thankful to Luann. I plan to stay in touch with LuAnn with any other needs as we watch our little miracle learn and grow.
