“I wasn't prepared for breastfeeding. I assumed that because it was natural, it would just happen. Unfortunately, there is a systemic failure in the care that mothers receive that leaves them struggling alone. We want to change that and make sure that every woman gets the support they need to have a successful breastfeeding journey.”
