Kellie Eason RN, RM, IBCLCKellie is a Nurse, Midwife & International Board Certified Lactation Consultant. I first met Carly, Bryce & their gorgeous boy Corvo, when he was a tiny, 5 week old babe. Carly recently reached out to me to update me of the outcome of her breastfeeding journey & has allowed me to share her story to benefit others. In her own words Carly says….’My son was born with a tongue & lip tie causing him to loose 16% of his birth weight in the first few weeks. It was a difficult and daunting time in my life’ This beautiful family had to make the most of our Family Tree Village, whereby myself together with Dr. Paul Chamberlain, (Child only Chiropractor), Dr. Jeff Kestenberg (Dental Surgeon) & team supported them through the following issues: *Low milk supply *Tongue & lip tie surgery *Uncomfortable baby *Poor weight gains *Painful latch *Damaged nipples *Blocked ducts It’s easy to understand why this time was the most daunting in Carly’s life. Despite the challenges, Carly is the greatest hero here. She had the courage to put her faith in us & the will to power through. Carly was able to successfully breastfeed Corvo for 7 months. It mean’t so much to her because she wanted to give her son the best start in life. Corvo is now a healthy, happy, active & thriving boy & Carly has no regrets. Such an inspirational story, Carly’s journey demonstrates that it is a journey that you cannot do alone.. Reach out to your village! Acknowledge that it can be difficult…but you will get there in the end It’s all about giving it your best shot & that choice is yours to make & we will always be here for you without judgement x Kellie Eason, RN, RM, IBCLCKellie is a Nurse, Midwife & International Board Certified Lactation Consultant. |
