We've all been there. Bleary-eyed. Searching the aisles for lactation cookies, brewers yeast, fenugreek, you name it. When you're breastfeeding, MILK MATTERS. It matters big time. Lorena Garcia felt it, all of it when she had her son Diego. Through her personal struggle, she found her mission to change what was available to women. Lorena started making lactation protein powders to actually FUEL the Momma, not just to provide more milk. Her products are revolutionizing this industry, but the bigger picture is more important. We need to treat the Mom as a whole, to treat you as a whole. You are not a milk machine, this is not all on your shoulders, you are not in this alone. Women supporting and encouraging women is the only way to go, and Lorena's products are doing just that. Listen to this Momma, you're gonna feel it. Big time.
