when you need breastfeeding help, the last thing you should do is leave your house. 

You need to be in your environment, with your own nursing chair, couch, or bed. You need to use your own pillows, and learn how to breastfeed your baby where you live, right??
Not in a clinic, or a doctors office. And definitely not in someone else's chair. 

It can take weeks to feel like you've found a rhythm and learned all of your baby's cues. Breastfeeding isn't always smooth sailing, am I right?
You need to be able to reach out to someone on demand to answer those questions you have, or figure out what the heck your baby is trying to communicate.

Now let's throw going back to work in the mix. Now what do you do???

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. 

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.

Now, please give a round of applause to Kaitlyn! ​

Kaitlyn Sagritalo, SB Virtual Assistant and Lactation Intern

Without Kaitlyn, SB would be a mess. She is the keeper or my brain, the master of the behind the scenes, AND on top of it all she is one of our baby unicorns (AKA one of our LCs in training). You will see Kaitlyn a lot in our community, and hear her voice. She is the writer of some of our blogs, and the mad genius behind our marketing. I am so thrilled to have her, and even more thrilled to be training her to support this community, and can't wait to officially bring her on the lactation team when she passes her CLC exam later this year.

Last, and absolutely not least, please meet Jenna!

Jenna is the newest member of the Successful Breastfeeding team. She started out as a client, and fell in love with the world of lactation. She is mama to 4 beautiful kids, and has been working hard to learn the ropes and intern in our practice. Jenna plans to be a certified lactation counselor by summer of 2020 and we are so thrilled to be supporting her on her journey. Keep your eyes peeled, as you very well may see Jenna pop in to support you too!

"My name is Jenna and I am an intern with Successful Breastfeeding. I am working on becoming a certified lactation counselor. I am also a mom of 4. I breastfed all of my children; each was their own unique journey. I came to successful breastfeeding for support with my 4th child and have fallen in love with the resources, knowledge, and community. I am so excited to start learning and developing my skills to help moms reach their breastfeeding goals. When I am not with my family I can be found crafting, reading, baking or indulging in all things Disney World, Friends or Gilmore Girls. I can’t wait to get to know you more. "
