The key is persistence perseverance, consistency & support.

We never established breastfeeding in the beginning because of a tongue tie & poor stimulation resulting in low milk supply. Tough!

I consulted an LC when my daughter was 2 months old because I wanted to breastfeed period!

At that time, my daughter had completely refused the breast. I knew what I wanted, and I was determined. Some days I felt like giving up but I held on.

I remember talking with my Mom over the phone and she couldn’t comprehend why I wasn’t breastfeeding- she breastfed all her 4 kids. 

When I started working with Leanne, my daughter wasn’t latching to the breast. We pumped and bottle fed her. She would cry when I attempted to put her on the breast.  

This went on for days and weeks, however, I continued with the plan Leanne set up for us. Slowly, after a month or so she started sucking for a few minutes. Finally at 4 months she was breastfeeding and emptying the breast. I was super excited 

Working with Leanne was the best decision we made. She helped us through this journey and encouraged us even when I wanted to give up. 

Moms out there who want to breastfeed but can’t for one reason or another, I want to encourage you that it is possible to breastfeed regardless of your situation. If I did it anyone can.
