What you don't realize before baby is
Breastfeeding and motherhood is a WHOLE LOT
​MORE complicated than you thought it would be.

You have questions.

You post in a moms group, and you get advice that is all over the place.

You get answers that don't help your situation. 
(And sometimes get some pretty negative responses.)

​You search on Google, Pinterest, read books- everything- looking for the answers to your questions and concerns.

All that searching is overwhelming,
and you're often still not sure what to do.

When you don't have reliable support, you're less likely to meet your goals.

There is so much to know, and so many changes that happen during your breastfeeding journey.
You deserve an expert on your side to guide you through it, give you the tools you need to keep going strong,  and support you every step of the way. 

Here are just a few ways I can support your journey:

Preventing Common Problems

Statistics prove most breastfeeding problems happen because moms overthink!! They end up doing more than necessary, which unfortunately creates situations that lead to early weaning. (Self created oversupply is just one example.) With me on your side, we will do everything we can to establish your Successful Breastfeeding Journey.

Fully Understanding Your Baby

The #1 reason women give up on breastfeeding is because they BELIEVE they aren't making enough milk. This belief comes from mom not understanding her baby's cues. Babies are excellent communicators, and I will help you interpret your baby's language so you and your baby are on the same page, and you'll know what they need!

Going Back to Work

Did you know that 80% of breastfeeding mothers will wean within weeks of going back to work? Going back to work is hard, there is alot to know and navigate. Thankfully, continuing breastfeeding doesn't have to be. You'll support and advice you need to be successful through your working and breastfeeding journey.

Who is this for?

    First things first, I want to make sure this program is truly going to benefit you! I highly value every family I serve, and don’t want to waste your time or resources. If I feel the program isn’t right for you, I may make an alternative suggestion for My services or provide another resource for support.

  This Program is Right for You if: 
  • You find yourself googling, searching pinterest, or posting in facebook groups for answers to your pregnancy/breastfeeding/baby questions and concerns.
  • You are currently pregnant and want to establish a Successful Breastfeeding Journey and get support for questions about your pregnancy and upcoming birthing experience.
  • You’ve recently had your baby want to be supported by a no drama, expertly guided community.
  • You’re experiencing common breastfeeding struggles, and need expert support.
  • You plan to go back to work and want to maintain breastfeeding!
  • You are serious about breastfeeding, and want to do anything to make it happen and maintain it!
  • You are exclusively breastfeeding, partially breastfeeding (supplementing), pumping, or any combination of the above- Basically, you are breastfeeding or plan to.
 This Program is NOT Right for You if:
  • You’re not breastfeeding. (Exclusive breast/chest feeding, exclusive pumping, or combo feeding is breastfeeding!)
  • You’re a “Drama Llama”. (This is a place for genuine support, and we have a ZERO tolerance drama policy.)
  • You’re not fully committed to your breastfeeding journey, or not 100% sure you want to breastfeed your baby. ​
Omg Kelly, your guidance was essential. Without your help I don't know if I would had been able to continue breastfeeding!"
