Lizbeth endured so much to become a mother. By the time she was able to hold her daughter Gianna in her arms, she had prepared so much for caring for her that she felt very secure in her decision to breastfeed and knew how to ensure her milk came in. This is a story which perfectly displays Lizbeth both standing up for herself and seeking out the help of supportive lactation professionals, despite having one medical professional in particular completely dismiss her.In this inspiring story you will hear about:

• An intense labor
• “Being used as pacifier”
• Mastitis
• Treatment of Absess
• Loss of milk supply on one side
• Triple feeding
• Providing milk on one side
• Pumping at home and at work
