I sorted through some old baby clothes this weekend and wow, the emotions hit me like a wave!! And it reminded me of the reason I decided to become a breastfeeding counselor in the first place….
I may have trouble remembering the names of the people I met at church last week or the plot of the movie my husband and I watched last month, but gosh when I hold up those baby clothes, I remember the feeling of holding my kids as babies like it was yesterday. And I think that’s true for just about every mom I’ve talked to, no matter their age. I’ve often had older moms tell me their stories when they hear what I do, and even my own grandma in her 90’s could tell me what her early breastfeeding experience was like each of her kids and how it made her feel.
The baby days pass so fast but are some of the most powerful, significant, and memorable years of our lives as moms—and as women. Some memories are fond ones, and some are more filled with challenges, regrets, or shame. Personally, I was so blessed to have people who shared information & encouragement that made a big difference in my own “baby days.”
My biggest driving passion whenever I spend time with moms in the baby stage is to be a encouraging force toward those positive memories. I want moms to feel confident in their knowledge and skills, empowered to overcome challenges, and at peace with the choices they make for their family. No self-doubt, no shame, no regrets. I keep my prices affordable because I believe every mom deserves that confidence & support.
Always remember that YOU are the best mom for your baby, and help and support is there for those who look for it. It’s such a huge honor to be a part of your journey! 💕
