FAQ

Got Questions?

it’s always the right time to get better informed! I recommend attending a class in your late second or early third trimester and starting to build your support network by getting to our free monthly meetups!

yes! whether you’re planning on breastfeeding after you give birth, have a newborn you’re still getting into a rhythm with or your nursing a toddler all Mamas are welcome! come meet us at 1900 Krumroy Rd Akron, OH at 6pm the fourth Thursday of each month. (Resuming January 2025)

you’ll get a pre-consult HIPPAA compliant online form that tells me about you, baby and what you’re experiencing, I’ll also ask what kind of tools you have to help in breastfeeding (pillows, pump (whether manual or electric) and what your overall goals are, if you’ll be returning to work and need to pump, basically all the info I need to make sure you feel confident by the end of our time together

I highly recommend reading some books or listening to podcasts during your pregnancy as well as getting to our support group while you’re still pregnant, there are also group and private breast-feeding courses that cover everything from A to Z without fueling your anxiety, even with all the best laid foundation sometimes you just need a little extra support and that’s when you call me and we make a plan to help you reach your breastfeeding goals

If you head over to these blog posts you’ll find my favorite podcasts, books, courses and support groups that I try to keep as up to date as possible!

Kind Words

Sadie- Twin Mama of 5

I called Brittney to help me figure out comfortable tandem nursing positions for my 3 day old twins. She asked what kind of nursing pillows and supplies I had ahead of time and came prepared to help with an individualalzed plan specifically for nursing twins with the type of pillows I had. Her bedside manner was fantastic. She came into our safe space with such patience and kindness. And truly helped me figure out a comfortable position that I used for months. I’m so thankful for Brittney’s services especially at such a vulnerable time and would recommend her to anyone embarking on a nursing journey.
