The Full Story
... i had helped thousands of families feed their babies, but when it came to planning my feeding journey I felt lost.
I have spent the past 8 years helping caregivers feed their baby. I was exposed every day to feeding difficulties and would do my best to support the families and empower them to feel confident and at ease feeding their baby no matter what that might look like.
And then, I got pregnant. I started thinking about my feeding goals. And all of a sudden I found myself overwhelmed. While I was beyond thrilled to start my journey into motherhood, I knew there were unexpected things that could come up and I wanted to be prepared.
...it was through this experience that i realized i could not be the only mama out there who felt lost when it came to creating a feeding plan for their baby
But during my pregnancy, I realized that this was not the way feeding was portrayed. There were so many pictures of moms feeding their infants and looking gorgeous doing so. I wanted that!
But that’s when reality set in. My maternity leave was only 3 months and half of that was my own PTO. How could I make the most out of the time I had with my baby and make sure that I was setting my family up for success.
I knew I needed to create a feeding plan that worked not only for my goals, but was also realistic for my circumstances. That is when my mission for Khaki Feeds Babies shifted. I want to help families everywhere build a feeding plan they are confident in because they are prepared for any challenges that might come.
