  • Episode 2: Exclusive pumping to exclusive nursing with Kara Blessing
    May 8 2025

    Kara is a full-time mom, and part-time doula, so birth and babies are a huge part of her world. If you saw her nursing her toddler until she was almost 2 years old, you would never have guessed that her breastfeeding journey had a rough start. Despite having a beautiful, unmedicated birth at a birth center, her baby was found to have mouth and tongue ties and Kara’s dreams of nursing exclusively, turned into exclusive pumping. The temptation to give up was strong, especially when she was told that maybe she physiological COULDN’T produce milk. But she didn’t give up.

  • Episode 1: Persevering through low supply with Casie Britt
    May 1 2025

    Casie Britt faced an under supply, but through determination, she was still able to continue pumping and providing her baby milk all the way until almost 12 months. After losing her milk supply at 6 months with her first baby, Casie had hoped to go farther with her second. But after returning to work and finding her milk supply wasn't meeting her baby's needs, she had a choice to make. Her baby wouldn't take formula, so she used donor milk, and continued to pump even when she wasn't making 100% of the bottles. Her story is one of determination and dedication because she truly believed every drop of milk counts.
