Send us Fan Mail

Struggling with low milk supply, pumping frustration, or wondering why breastfeeding feels harder than everyone says?

In today's episode, Chelsea sits down with Valene McMorrow, IBCLC, to unpack the real reasons behind breastfeeding challenges—and why milk supply is about so much more than just “nursing more often.”

We dive into what actually supports lactation (spoiler: mental health, nutrition, and rest are just as important as the latch), the truth about galactagogues, and how not having support can sabotage your breastfeeding goals before you even start.
