After I gave birth to my son, I assumed breastfeeding would be a breeze! Unfortunately it was not as smooth as I thought it would be. After birth, my baby latched on to me just fine, however, the second day he was not latching on so easy and when I asked the nurse for help, she told me my milk supply was low and gave me formula to feed my baby. I was a new mom and just wanted my baby to eat. I felt as if I did not receive the support from the nurses that I needed from them to support my goal and decision to exclusively breastfeed my baby. Thankfully I have met Jennifer and she has supported me much more in a few minutes than the support I have received from the nurses in the hospital the few days I was there. Jennifer gave me advice on different foods to avoid, what foods to have which will increase my milk supply and she also taught me the power pump technique. Now I am grateful to say I am back to breastfeeding my baby. Jennifer was so patient with me and even to this day she still checks in on me to see how I am doing! I definitely plan on reaching out to her if I decide to get pregnant again and I highly recommend her.
