Let me take the mystery out of choosing and using a breast pump!
When you're expecting a baby it can feel like there are a lot of decisions to make (and they all feel expensive๐ธ)!
When it comes to things like a baby bath tub or a changing pad the decision you make doesn't make a huge difference. I mean sure, some are better than others, but either way your baby will be bathed and changed.
For breast pumps, that is not the case!
If you are using a pump that is not right for you
(or using it incorrectly) your body will not get the message to make milk and your supply can decrease
But don't get overwhelmed, I've put all the info you need all in one place!
Hi, I'm Valerie.
I'm a Lactation Counselor, Postpartum Doula and a mother of three (including identical twins)!
I've helped hundreds of people figure out this whole newborn thing and I've spent many nights sitting on the couch next to tired pumping mamas.
When it comes to breast pumps I've seen how confusing it can get and that's why I want to be sure you have the information you need without having to search through Pinterest.

"I would absolutely recommend your class to anyone!"
Being a new mommy is an absolute dream. I want to thank you so much for your class. It has helped me tremendously especially with breastfeeding, an area that I was totally unfamiliar with. I am excited for our next monthly chat. I cannot thank you enough for how amazing you are and how much my husband and I learned from you. I would absolutely recommend your class to anyone.

"We’ve referred back to videos multiple times since we’ve been home with our baby boy!"
It gave my husband the basics to know as he’s never been a part of taking care of a baby. It was a nerve calmer for him! For me, the course helped refresh my memory from all the babysitting classes I took growing up... though you pay A LOT more attention when you’re learning for your own child.

"There's no where else you can find all this information in one place"
Every Sunday we would cast our computer to the TV and view at least one section. It was nice to look forward to this bonding time while soaking up all the new info for our first little one on the way. There’s no where else you can find all this information in one place. Plus, Valerie is right there with you along the way.
