When I had my first baby, I automatically breastfed. Since my sister had breastfed, I just did it naturally without hesitation. With the second baby, since she had Jaundice, and I didn\'t know any better I only formula fed. The difference in immunity was so obvious that when I had my third baby I automatically went back to breastfeeding. While attending a class at my local WIC office, I was offered a job working part time to help encourage other mothers. Not only did I enjoy helping other mothers with their breastfeeding concerns I also found something I was good at!

The United States Department of Agriculture has education programs that offer scholarships to women who want to expand their education. Through these scholarship programs and the education reimbursement programs that WIC offered, I was able to go back to school. Now that I am a Certified Professional, I am able to give back that same support to other mothers, that was given to me.

I created this business to help families. Too many babies are lost every year to preventable illness like Diarrhea Disease or the Flu. Breast milk is a powerful weapon against these horrible diseases. Breastfeeding my children not only made them healthy and smart but it also empowered me and made me stronger. Now I have the skills the passion and the opportunity to help other families to do the same.
