THANKFUL FOR LEARNING

Even moms who work in health care can use a little help at times – and that’s exactly what Kayla found from her colleagues at the August Family Birth Place at Unity Hospital. Breastfeeding was going well while Kayla recovered in the hospital, but she started to struggle when she returned home. A lactation specialist worked with Kayla and her son, and Kayla couldn’t be more grateful. “She helped me trust myself and then reminded me that just because my journey changed from exclusively breastfeeding to exclusively pumping, that I’m still giving my son my breast milk,” Kayla said. “And just because it looks different doesn’t mean that it’s wrong.”
