Let's be breast-friends!
As a mom of two breastfed boys, I completely understand how much work breastfeeding takes. Whether you are expecting or already snuggling your little one, it's always good to have support!
​
We will have a scale for weighted feeds and provide an environment that is cozy and you can come hang for as long as you want. Dr Melissa is completing her certification to become a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist and Noelle Dimas is an IBCLC who owns Mums Lactation, LLC.
​
This group is great for everyone and if you do need more one-on-one support, we can chat about that as well. Bring your support partner/s and older kiddos are also welcome!
​
I cannot wait to meet you and help you on your breastfeeding journey.
​

Why I am passionate about breastfeeding
When I had my first son Knox, my struggle began before we even left the hospital. No one told me about Second Night Syndrome and after 6 hours of him screaming I finally asked the nurse to take him to the nursery so that I could get just a little sleep. They brought him back 4 hours later and told me that he just got a bottle of donor milk and that he's happy now because he clearly wasn't getting enough milk from me. The IBCLC at the hospital advised that I supplement with formula until my milk came in.
​
That supplementation led to him having bottle preference and by 3 days old, he was not wanting to latch to me and I was completely devastated that our breastfeeding journey was already over and I felt like I failed him because I couldn't even feed my baby. Luckily we got some great advice and we were able to save our breastfeeding relationship and he went on to breastfeed for 19 months until I got pregnant with his brother Kash.
​
This experience made me realize how many moms are getting truly awful advice from people they should be able to trust to help them. If I can help support families and be just a small part of them having the breastfeeding journey of their dreams, then I will be forever grateful.
