This isn’t just another blog about breastfeeding.
This Substack is built to strengthen the connections between the practice of lactation support and the rest of the universe of health and well-being.
More than twenty years of lactation care in multiple settings and from multiple vantage points have given me some insights, which I share here, along with ideas, inspiration, and resources designed to help you grow in your lactation career.
Feelings of isolation, frustration, and a sense of working uphill are all too common in our space.
Join me here for the boost you need to keep going - the Notes app on my phone is bursting with ideas to share with you and ways that we can work together to share what is important about breastfeeding, human milk, and the practice of lactation care.
If you’re reading this right away, Happy Saturday!
I’ll keep this quick.
The project I’ve been hinting about for months is now launched.
My comprehensive look at breast health over the lifetime is a full course hosted on Paperless Lactation.
Here’s why I interrupted your December Saturday activities to tell you about it:
Paperless Lactation is offering a special, fast action price this weekend only, and I didn’t want you to miss out on that!

Through my career in lactation care, and over the past 18 months as I’ve walked with my mother through her breast cancer and mastectomy journey, I’ve had SO MANY QUESTIONS about breast health and how to make connections between what WE do in the lactation field and the rest of the health care world.
This course represents my curiosity, my frustration over how breasts are over-identified with cancer and under-identified with lactation, and my desire to make it easier for you and me to explain to our patients and clients, and all of the people in their lives who have breasts, how it’s all connected:
from birth to puberty to pregnancy (or not) to lactation (or not) to breast imaging to breast cancer (or not) to menopause - all of life with these mammary glands right in the front of our bodies
See you inside!
P.S. You are my inspiration!
Yes! Excited to join this class!
This sounds so interesting and needed! Congratulations and all the best to your mom.
