Breastfeeding seems like the most natural thing a mom and baby can do, right? Well, as Kara explains, it's a learning curve for both! Moms often don't know who to turn to for breastfeeding advice - the internet is teeming with incorrect information and your well-meaning pediatrician or midwife may have outdated information. An IBCLC, or lactation consultant as most of us know them by, are often covered by your insurance company and can really help you build a strong breastfeeding relationship. Kara has been a friend of mine for over 15 years and we could've talked to her about breastfeeding for hours! She does such a great job normalizing all of the things deemed "problematic" for new moms. Since we both became moms, Kara has had a passion for breastfeeding. We hope you find our talk as helpful as we did! Kara loves the Haakaa Manual Breast Pump 4oz/100ml,2019 New Style">Haakaa, like so many other moms we talked to. I know a product I will absolutely be buying for this baby! :) If you are in New Jersey and want to schedule a visit with Kara, jump on her website and follow her on Instagram or Facebook, no matter where you live!
