“Becoming a mommy is one of the most precious, heart-warming, life-changing milestones a mother can experience. Bringing life into this world make us want the absolute best for our baby, giving them the very best. Even with the foods they will eat. Breastfeeding was one of them for me. When I gave life to my first born, I had my mind made up that I wanted to do it my ancestors way and exclusively breastfeed my baby. Unfortunately, with the lack of lactation support I’d received from the hospital and lack of knowledge on my part with breastfeeding, I struggled. I did not know how to properly latch my baby, my milk supply was low and my baby was hungry. In that moment, I knew what I needed to do to have a successful breastfeeding journey. I began to read a lot of books on “how to breastfeed” and things like, “how to boost my milk supply”. I literally educated myself until I came up with an idea that I knew would help me and other mothers like myself. That is when I came up with my lactation cookie recipes. I gathered rich milk boosting ingredients and put them into my favorite cookie. I ate these cookies twice a day until after a week, I finally I started to see a big difference in my milk supply. I was so happy and felt accomplished. My milk was rich and I was pumping more than 2oz. per session -more than I ever was before! Now that I have educated myself on breastfeeding and the nutrients needed to help mothers keep a good milk supply, I decided to spread the good news on my platform Lacta Mommy LLC. With an act of kindness, I support, give free breastfeeding education/advice, and bake my amazing milk boosting lactation cookies for mothers who are in need of my support like I once needed. I stand with you, mama! Happy breastfeeding, you got this”!
