This should not be happening 🕊️

We are holding space and honoring the life of Dr. Janell Green Smith, a Black midwife, maternal health expert, and fierce advocate who tragically lost her life during childbirth.

Dr. Green Smith dedicated her life to protecting Black mothers, improving maternal outcomes, and fighting for a healthcare system where Black women are heard, believed, and cared for. That someone who knew the system, worked within it, and advocated to change it could still be taken by it is a devastating reminder of the crisis Black women face in maternal health.

We honor her legacy by continuing the fight she gave her life to, for dignity, equity, and survival in Black maternal care. 💜

Breastfeeding doesn’t come with an instruction manual, BUT you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Every week, I’ll be hosting a live Q&A thread right here on Facebook at The Healing Latch from 12-3pm EST. The day of the week will be announced on the page, so make sure you’re following to catch the updates. 😉

You can bring your questions about:

•Latching and positioning
•Pumping and supply
•Bottle feeding and transitions
•Returning to work
•Weaning and extended breastfeeding
•Troubleshooting pain, clogs, engorgement, and more

PLUS for a limited time, I’m also offering free private appointments by video, phone, text, or email.

This is completely *FREE* support- no upselling, no insurance, just real answers and encouragement.

*Please share this post so another mom can get the support she needs.

Always Love,

Your Doula Breastie ✌🏾🤎

Calling it a night after a late drop in with some breastfeeding goodies for a new mommy! 🤱🏾

Shout out to my hubby for always holding down baths and bedtime so I can go show a mom some love & support. I absolutely love doing this and the families that I serve make it so worth it!

Don’t forget to show up and love on the mommies, too!

Always love,
Your Doula Breastie ✌🏾🤎

What do you think I put in the bag? 👀👇🏾
