Breastfeeding was one of the most rewarding and hardest jobs I have ever had. Before I was pregnant, I had zero knowledge of nursing, and it was not as natural as I thought it would be. Thankfully, Tessa was my IBCLC, and helped me overcome all the obstacles in our three year journey. From nursing every hour, two revisions (and possibly a third, in the future) to almost losing my supply, I feel like I have experienced all the hardest parts that come along with nursing. Though there were times I wanted to throw in the towel and quit, I didn’t. Breastfeeding was not only benefiting my baby, it was benefiting me as well. Choosing to nurture my son by breastfeeding, I have found my passion. I can’t wait to become a Lactation Consultant and be the support system to the next mom without any knowledge of breastfeeding
