We are lucky to have Breastfeeding with Maj who has poured her heart into running the only human milk donor depot in Southern Nevada all volunteer for 11 years! This work is not easy, but this is a prime example of proud to be in community with all the hard working lactation specialist and lactation supporters who have not only supported families, but also poured into the community with their volunteerism and love. 💕

Had the best time at the training. My mind is blown! 🤯

The best part about being a lactation consultant is staying up to date with all of the latest research. I am ready to support all who pump with a fresh way of doing things 🙌🏽

Still crying tears of joy from this past weekend. The NV Breastfeeding Symposium was beautiful! From getting to spend all day learning from Melissa Cole & finally getting my hands on her new book 🥹🥹to being surprised with a beautiful painting from my favorite birth artist 🤩Being part of the NVBC alongside so many passionate individuals since starting my lactation journey & serving as the President the last two years have been life changing.

It’s been such an honor to serve the community in this way & I’m so thankful to have a community who shows love right back. This was the perfect way to pass the torch to the next coalition leaders! Feeling immensely blessed & grateful to do what I love every day with the people I love. 💜

As Black Breastfeeding Week comes to a close, so does a very tender chapter in my own journey.

Something that I don’t think is talked about enough is post-weaning depression.

Post-weaning depression was something I had learned about, but did not experience with my first. With Amora, things were different. When she turned 14 months old, I made the hard decision to wean. My original goal was to breastfeed her for at least two years. While I knew it was best for my mental health, letting go was still incredibly difficult. For weeks, I felt extreme periods of sadness as my milk dried up, and even thought about starting again, hoping it might make the sadness and guilt go away. Even now, four months later, I still carry pieces of that sadness.

To honor this journey, I had breastmilk jewelry made, just as I did with my first. When I received this necklace, I didn’t think I would feel so happy and so complete. It is a way to remember the joy of nourishing life with my body, the deep bond we share, and the challenges that came with it all. What made it even more special was that it was made by a dear friend who is moving 🥹

Thank you, Edna, for creating this piece with such love and for making the additional heart and necklace for Nina. Having pieces for both of my girls feels like such a full-circle moment, a beautiful representation of the unique yet connected journeys I’ve shared with each of them. Forever grateful. 💜

Posted • 🖤 The truth is hard, but it fuels the mission: Black infants are less likely to be breastfed — and more likely to face health disparities.

📢 That’s why Black Breastfeeding Week matters. It’s a call to equity, visibility, and support.

Together, they offer a vulnerable, moving conversation about reclaiming birth after trauma, processing grief, and creating a peaceful bubble of support for their family, even when things don’t go as planned.

Happy National Breastfeeding Month!

We often underestimate how much energy goes into pumping. From plugging in, to listening to the pump sounds, to timing your sessions right, all to do it over again in a few hours.

Pumping is a selfless act of love. Pumping isn’t easy & pumping parents don’t always get the recognition they deserve.

For those who exclusively pump, pump when at work, or pumping to maintain supply while figuring out latching. I see you 💕

Pumping is breastfeeding 🤱🏽 🍼

A huge thank you to for thinking of capturing this moment for me 🥹💜
