“A mom called worried about taking a new daily medication, asking if it would hurt baby. I looked up the medication ingredients and she said, "you made my day and saved me from stopping breastfeeding!”

“Mom was experiencing engorgement & pain and baby was struggling to latch. I instructed her on reverse pressure softening and engorgement management. Later, mom called back advising she was feeling better and baby was able to latch.”

“Mom called with concerns of pumping while at work. She was afraid that she would have to wean baby. I educated her on different breast pump options.”
