A Thousand Tiny Steps

Choosing to Breastfeed with Kelsey


Listen Later

Kelsey is the amazing woman who supplied me donor milk when Jack was young. This concept didn’t exist when I was younger and I’m so glad this option does now. It’s a great opportunity to connect with other moms, get advice, and have support to breastfeed and not use formula if that’s what you choose. 

 

Key Takeaways:
