Breastfeeding can be hard, and definitely takes a village. So many moms are made to feel guilty about how they feed their baby. There is no wrong way to feed a baby. There is tremendous frustration with all the conflicting information provided by caregivers and of course the internet. Mommas let me be your google. I was a new mom, in your shoes, with sore bleeding nipples, feeling defeated. I made it my life’s mission to help ensure mothers do not have to go through those same battles. This video series is a guide to help make you the best breastfeeding mom you can be.
