Going back to work is hard. Continuing breastfeeding doesn't have to be. 

Creating a solid breastfeeding relationship with your baby is hard work.

It can take weeks to feel like you've found a rhytm and learned all of your baby's cues. Breastfeeding isn't always smooth sailing, am I right?

Then you face the back to work struggle, and need support! There's so many questions to answer, and you have anxieties about pumping at work.

You're thinking, 'When am I supposed to pump? How much milk do I store? Is my pump even fitting me properly?!'

Hi, I'm Kelly! And I am sooooo happy you've found me.

I am here to support you, guide you, and walk you through your journey. I've got the resources you need to have Your Best Start to breastfeeding, and keep you going strong through your journey Back to Work! 

I'm a lactation expert, and working mom with 4 amazing (and crazy!) kiddos. I have been working hard for over 5 years to use my expert knowledge, personal experiences, and experiences from the thousands of moms I have supported to create a system to set you up for success on your working and pumping journey. 

Having been through the working mom struggle multiple times, I GET IT!!! It's so hard, and emotionally overwhelming.

And I also know with the right info, and the right support, you can survive working and pumping, and thrive in your breastfeeding relationship!!

Where it all started....

Kelly Maher, CLC, CLE, Founder of Successful Breastfeeding LLC

This is me. I founded Successful Breastfeeding because I saw a need for better, more thorough, and individualized support for breastfeeding moms- especially working breastfeeding moms!

I was frustrated working in a lactation clinic where I was limited to what I could offer the moms I was supporting. There was never enough time, and the cold, clinical environment was not the best place to be supporting mommas and brand new babies.

There had to be a better way- and guess what? There is!

Through my business, Successful Breastfeeding, I created a full service spectrum of breastfeeding support - from bump through weaning- that is all received in the comfort of home, and completely on mom and baby's time. 

I have had the pleasure of supporting thousands of moms over the last 5 years, and I am so grateful to get to be part of your journey too! Thank you for allowing me to support you.

As far as credentials go I am a Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC), Certified Lactation Educator (CLE), HUG trained, breastfeeding counselor, a mother of 4 beautiful kids, and advocate for families.

My journey began when I struggled to breastfeed for months with my first. Despite reading books, taking classes, and joining a local mom lead support group, I still wasn't prepared to have a successful breastfeeding experience from the start- and that frustrated me to no end!

My personal experience fueled my passion, and generated my mission. I provide an approach to breastfeeding support that you won't find anywhere else!

Breastfeeding is not one size fits all, and breastfeeding support should not be either!

Meet Allison Alexander, Successful Breastfeeding Expert, and my right hand.
​This business could not survive without her!

Hey! I’m Allison, one of the Lactation Experts with Successful Breastfeeding!

I am an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), and have over 7 years of experience as a pediatric nurse working one on one with mothers and babies. My most important credential is being “Mama” to two little ones.

My own breastfeeding journey got off to an extremely rocky, isolated, painful start and it took months to feel confident and comfortable nursing my baby. I never want another mother to feel like she’s struggling all alone.

​I am so happy to be part of the Successful Breastfeeding team; to be able to offer support in a more relaxed setting! I can help you meet your breastfeeding goals no matter where you are - from home visits for extended, in-person support, to virtual sessions for convenient, accessible help no matter where you live. Breastfeeding is a relationship between you and your baby, and it’s my job to support it, whatever your goals and needs happen to be.
