My Story
Welcome to Mommy Did You Know, a safe place to discuss all your pregnancy, postpartum, and breastfeeding questions! Our goal is “to build stronger families through education, support, and encouragement.” There are so many online blogs right now, but not all of them give factual information to their readers. A lot post recommendations that people want to hear, but not what they need to hear.
I promise that the information I post on my website is based on research and evidence. As a mother of two small children, their safety is important to me. Also, as a maternity nurse of more than 7 years, it is my passion to educate my patients so they can make informed decisions.
One day I was looking for at home lactation consultant jobs online, and found someone who wanted to offer me good money to “verify” the articles on his website. Basically he just wanted my name and license on the website. Looking through the articles, I noticed that a lot of the articles had old practices or wrong information. Unfortunately, the owner declined all of my recommendations for improvement. His response, “I am paying you well, can’t you just say you read them and they are correct?” Needless to say, I felt very uncomfortable about the situation, and declined his offer. I decided to start my own blog, and my own consulting business. This way, I know that what I am promoting is the TRUTH. Research is ever changing, and you can never just believe what you read online. Best practice is guided by research. My patients and their families DESERVE the best care possible.
