Latch Little Baby

I gave birth to my first child summer 2018. Although I accepted the fact that not everything would go as planned, the one plan I refused to stray from was exclusively breastfeeding. Aracelis helped prepare me for what to expect before my baby was born. She helped me to cope with the initial discomfort, she helped me to try new positions that would allow both my baby and I to nurse more comfortably. She helped me to grow more comfortable nursing in public, she helped me to not feel defeated when my son went through a phase of nursing basically 24/7. She helped me to devise a pumping plan at the conclusion of my maternity leave, and helped me to revise that plan when I started a new job and my schedule changed. Aracelis has been a huge support system during my breastfeeding journey and I've trusted her opinion from day one. Her deep knowledge of the subject stems further than the hours upon hours she spent studying. Her true knowledge comes from first hand experience, and I often appreciated her offering personal examples, reassuring me that although everyone's breastfeeding journey is not the same, everyone does encounter challenges and rewards. Aracelis helped me to deal with the intense burden I felt when the demands of my job no longer allowed me to supply the amount of breast milk for my 1 year old son that I felt was right. Aracelis assured me that transitioning from breastfeeding would be fine, and she supplied me with the tools I needed to do what was best for my baby. I recall calling and texting Aracelis at all hours of the day when I needed answers or just encouragement, and she was always so responsive and supportive. Aracelis has truly been a very inspirational mother figure and educator. I know any parent who has the privilege to interact with Aracelis will be forever grateful. I sure am!
