Loved this podcast during the newborn months!!

Thank you Bri for giving us all a positive and informative podcast to listen to about new motherhood and actionable tips for nursing. I listened to your podcast while during the first few months after my son was born and it kept us company on many walks and drives! Thank you for making 2 special episodes in response to my question on Instagram about both caffeine and alcohol. The information you provided was straightforward compared to some differing things I’ve seen online. Thanks again for what you do and for bringing a very positive impact to new moms everywhere! Happy holidays!!

Being a mentor - having a mentee

This episode about being a mentor and having a mentee is so great! We NEED more IBCLCs in this world! I love learning, and I love talking about lactation. I can’t say enough how thrilled I am to be in this space, working with the amazing Breezy Babies team, and feeling confident enough with doing private practice that I can now be a mentor.

Travel while Pumping

This travel while pumping episode was so very helpful and the word needs to get out for all of the working/traveling moms who can't take their baby/toddler along. It's very stressful planning a trip away from home and even more challenging when you're navigating lactation and milk supply. Thank you so much for this, I learned a lot of new tips!
