I’ll be honest… when I first became a mom, breastfeeding was WAY harder than I expected. Fast forward a few years, and now I’m a lactation consultant helping other families navigate this beautiful (but sometimes challenging!) experience.

I just shared my latest blog post where I’m getting real about both the struggles AND the wins plus sharing my top practical tips that actually work.

If you’re pregnant and wondering what to expect, currently breastfeeding and need some encouragement, or know someone who could use support, this 5 minute read is for you!

Every breastfeeding journey looks different, and that’s okay. What matters is having the right tools and support along the way.

Check out the full post and let me know:

What’s one thing you wish you had known about breastfeeding before you started?

What are some words of encouragement you would give to other mamas?

We can all learn from each other! 💙

As Black Breastfeeding Week concludes, let’s remember that true change happens through sustained action, not just awareness.

Every Black family deserves the support, resources, and respect needed to make empowered feeding decisions.

The health benefits are profound, but the barriers are real—and that’s exactly why our advocacy must continue year-round.

Together, we’re not just supporting breastfeeding; we’re building healthier communities and a more equitable future.
