Families Who’ve Flourished…
“My breastfeeding journey began as one filled with pain, misery, and suffering. My milk supply didn’t come in fully, my baby’s latch was horribly painful, and my nipples were raw and blistered, making each nursing session a test of my ability to endure pain. Lorana was there every step of the way, helping me learn how to improve my baby’s latch, position her better for my comfort and her’s, and improve my supply despite all my health issues related to PCOS and fertility treatments that negatively impacted my supply. She stood by me, uplifting me and supporting me through all my tears and struggles. Without her I would have given up on breastfeeding my baby. Because of her, I can lay with my miracle baby and nurse her comfortably. Because of her I have been able to achieve my goals of being able to feed my baby the way my heart wanted to. ”
