my baby has taught me
that life’s most beautiful moments are organic,
spontaneous, and often very messy, so let go of
how things are “supposed to be” and enjoy.
becoming a mother has taught me
to be more accepting of myself and others, and
I am more appreciative of my own parents.
my advice to new moms
give children the freedom to fall down and get dirty!
my biggest challenge with breastfeeding
was the pain; nobody told me about that!
the best thing about breastfeeding
is that it is a time to be still and connect
with my baby.
the best thing about being a mom is
everything (except the lack of sleep)!

I work full time as an Acute Care Physical Therapist and prior to having my second baby, I was a top-ranked triathlete racing almost every week-end. This necessitated some careful pre-race orchestration: while other athletes were fine tuning their gear, I was sitting in the grass doing one last breast-emptying feed before heading to the start line. I still enjoy training but have less time now that I have two children and continue to work full time.
Breastfeeding, training, and working was daunting at first, but once I fell into a routine, it became easy and now it requires very little thought. milkmakers have helped me boost my milk production, which keeps the freezer stocked and reduces my stress with regard to the home-life/work-life tango. As a testament to how good milkmakers taste, my husband eats them too, but so far he hasn’t started pitching in on the lactation, which is probably a good thing!
