I’m Kristyn, Certified Lactation Counselor and mother of 4 crazy beautiful (but mostly CRAZY children 😉).
My passion for helping families in their baby feeding journeys started with my own breastfeeding story. In 2007 my first son was born and he was a struggle to feed. Thankfully I had access to a wonderful IBCLC in the hospital, Holly. She stood by my side through going back to work full time at 8 weeks postpartum, months of sore ni***es (from what I would learn 8 years later was an un-diagnosed tongue tie), mastitis, thrush, and a dramatic drop in supply at 4 months old when I took medication I shouldn't have.
I had set a goal to exclusively breastfeed for 6 months before introducing complementary foods and continue until the age of 1. In the end I was able to meet my goals and we nursed for 15 months despite all our challenges. Her support inspired me with a desire to help and support other mothers the way she had supported me.
In 2012 I became a Certified Lactation Counselor as the first step towards my goal of becoming an IBCLC. In September 2015 I started Columbia Lactation Care to do my part in providing resources and solutions to families in our community who are struggling with breastfeeding for whatever reason.
