Episode 030 // Creating a Breastfeeding Plan with Amber Thomas IBCLC
Amber is an IBCLC with over 10 years of experience, and she’s helped hundreds of women on their breastfeeding journey. But beyond that, she’s been in the trenches as a childbirth educator, doula, and L&D nurse. She’s worked with families through WIC, hospitals across DFW, and now, she brings her passion directly into the homes of new moms—where they can truly learn and thrive in a comfortable, supportive space.
In this episode, we’re talking about why it’s so important to meet with a lactation consultant before your baby arrives, how it can set you up for success, and what new moms can do to feel prepared and confident from day one.

Samantha Tollison:
Hi, Amber! Welcome to the show. I’m so glad you’re here! How are you?
Amber Thomas:
I’m good, Samantha! Thanks for having me on. I’m happy to be here. How are you?
Samantha:
I’m doing great! I am so excited to hear everything you’re going to share today. I know I’ve already learned from you just how important and helpful lactation support before having a baby can be, and I can’t wait for my audience to learn about it too.
Before we dive in, though, I’d love it if you could share a little bit about yourself—your experience, your family, and anything else you want us to know!
Amber:
Yes, awesome! So, my name is Amber Thomas. I’m a lactation consultant and the owner of Mother Eve’s Childbearing Support Services. We provide childbirth education, doula services, and lactation care. Our goal is to walk with families from the moment of conception all the way through those postpartum days, standing side by side to guide them through the journey of birth, labor, breastfeeding, and postpartum.
My background includes being a registered nurse. I’ve worked in labor and delivery, mother-baby care, postpartum, and hospital-based lactation support.
I actually started my career as a doula and birth assistant, working with local birth centers and supporting home births as well. So, I’ve supported families in a variety of settings over the past 16 to 20 years.
I also have a 16-year-old daughter, and my own journey with her started at a birth center, where I had a natural birth and breastfed her. After that, I began working as a WIC peer counselor at the Denton County WIC office, where I helped establish their peer counselor program for breastfeeding.
That’s where I really started studying and earning my hours to become an IBCLC. I was even able to bring my daughter to work with me and show other families how to breastfeed. I breastfed her for about 13 months, until she self-weaned—and I’ve been in the lactation field ever since!
Samantha:
That’s amazing! I’m always so wowed by all the experience you have in so many different areas. I love that you bring all of that to the table for your clients.
Amber:
Thank you!
Samantha:
So, let’s jump right in! What exactly is a prenatal lactation appointment? What does it look like, and why is it helpful?
Amber:
Great question! A prenatal lactation consult is when you set up a meeting with a lactation consultant before your baby is born—usually sometime in the third trimester. During this visit, we’ll talk about your breastfeeding goals, any concerns or fears you may have, and your breastfeeding supplies.
We also review your medical and reproductive history to identify any factors that could potentially impact breastfeeding. And based on all that information, we’ll create a customized plan tailored to you and your goals.
It’s similar to meeting with a doula and making a birth plan. A lot of people are familiar with doulas and birth planning, but I noticed that when moms in our program went through childbirth education, doula services, and prenatal lactation consults, they had better breastfeeding outcomes than moms who skipped the prenatal lactation prep and came to us after their baby was born.
When we looked at the data, we saw that the prenatal lactation consult and feeding plan really made a difference!
Samantha:
That’s so interesting!
Amber:
Yes! So, after we saw those results, we created our lactation concierge program, which includes a prenatal visit and five follow-up visits to support moms through those first six postpartum weeks.
During the prenatal visit, we’ll talk about your breast pump and figure out which one is the best fit for you. We can also help you order it through your insurance, and we’ll do a flange fitting to make sure you’re using the right size.
We’ll also discuss recommendations for nursing bras, nursing pads, creams, pillows, and other supplies. Some products work better than others, so we have a list of favorites based on what we’ve found works best for most moms.
And, of course, we’ll customize those recommendations to fit you! Every mom is different, so we look at your anatomy, experience, and goals to tailor the plan specifically for you.
One of the biggest benefits of a prenatal lactation consult is that it’s a personalized experience. You don’t have to rely on Google or TikTok, where the advice is often generic and might not apply to your specific situation.
Samantha:
Exactly! I love that. And I think your unique skill set, combined with all your experience and wisdom, makes that customization so easy for you—and so valuable for your clients.
Amber:
Absolutely! I definitely pull from all my different experiences to create the best possible plan for every mom I meet with.
Samantha:
I would love to hear some of the common things that you discuss with mom’s prenatally, any common concerns that moms have, or some current trends that you’re seeing in your practice?
Amber Thomas:
Yes. So, there’s a new trend called colostrum harvesting. This is when moms start hand expressing or collecting some of their colostrum during pregnancy.
There’s a lot of information out there about it, and many moms are trying to do it. But I do want to give a word of caution because colostrum harvesting isn’t something we’ve traditionally done in the past. It can be beneficial in specific situations, but I don’t recommend that all moms do it while pregnant.
Some people think that expressing colostrum during pregnancy will boost milk production after birth, but that’s not necessarily true. The main reason colostrum harvesting can be helpful is if you test positive for gestational diabetes.
Moms with gestational diabetes typically have high blood sugar levels, and their babies tend to be larger. You know those babies you see in the news that weigh 10, 11, 12, or even 13 pounds? Many of them were born to moms with gestational diabetes. What usually happens with larger babies is that their blood sugar drops after birth.
In these cases, it’s helpful to have some colostrum on hand because it’s full of sugar and can bring the baby’s blood sugar back up. Having that colostrum available may reduce the need for formula or donor milk supplementation.
So, colostrum harvesting can be beneficial, but it’s a very situation-specific practice. For moms without gestational diabetes, I’d be cautious because hand expressing during pregnancy can cause uterine contractions and lead to preterm labor.
That said, for moms with gestational diabetes, stimulating the breasts might not be a bad thing since their doctors often plan to induce them anyway. In those cases, it could help naturally stimulate labor.
But for moms without gestational diabetes, I’d advise against it because it can increase the risk of going into labor earlier than we’d like.
Samantha Tollison:
Yeah, I love that you brought that up! I’ve noticed a big increase in posts about colostrum harvesting in mom groups lately. I wasn’t sure what to call it at first, but I’ve definitely seen more and more moms talking about it.
The other day, I saw a post where a mom was worried because her colostrum wasn’t the right color. There were all these follow-up questions—what baby was this for her? How far along was she?—and moms were sharing links to buy syringes and asking, “Where did you get those?” It just spiraled from there.
Once one or two moms start doing it, suddenly everyone thinks, “Oh, I guess I should be doing that too.” And then they start stressing about it.
Amber Thomas:
Exactly. It becomes just one more thing to stress about.
Samantha Tollison:
Right!
Amber Thomas:
I think we need to be mindful of what we consume on social media.
When I ask moms where they heard about colostrum harvesting, the number one answer is TikTok. Now, that’s not necessarily a bad thing, but sometimes the context gets lost. Maybe they saw someone harvesting colostrum without realizing it was being done because of gestational diabetes or another specific medical reason.
That’s the tricky part. Moms might see others doing it and think, “Oh, I should be doing that too,” without realizing that the circumstances aren’t the same.
We see this with other breastfeeding trends too. Some moms do extra pumping because they think it will help bring in their milk faster, but then they end up with an oversupply, clogged ducts, or mastitis. Again, it depends on the mom’s individual situation. Are you someone who tends toward oversupply? Are you producing just enough milk? Everyone’s different, so it’s not one-size-fits-all.
Speaking of different situations, I also get a lot of questions about breastfeeding after breast surgery.
Samantha Tollison:
Oh, interesting!
Amber Thomas:
Yes, there are so many factors that impact milk production after breast surgery.
First, how long ago was the surgery? The further out you are, the better your chances of producing milk.
Second, what type of surgery was it? We tend to see more milk supply issues after breast reduction surgeries than after augmentations (like implants). Even with augmentations, it depends on the technique used. Was the incision under the breast, under the muscle, near the armpit, or around the areola? If the surgeon made a periareolar incision, where the nipple is cut off and reattached, that can impact milk supply more than other techniques.
That’s why meeting with a lactation consultant prenatally is so important. We can assess your specific situation and help you create a plan. It’s all about customizing the experience to fit your body, your baby, and your goals.
I’ve had moms with nipple piercings who think they can’t breastfeed, but I tell them, “Nope, that’s just more holes for the milk to come out of!” (Laughs.)
Of course, they’ll need to remove the jewelry during feedings, but depending on how fresh the piercing is, there are temporary spacers they can use between feedings.
We can also accommodate moms with herpes. As long as there’s no active lesion on the breast or nipple, it’s still possible to breastfeed safely.
Even moms living with HIV can breastfeed under certain circumstances. If both mom and baby are HIV-positive, we actually recommend breastfeeding because the benefits outweigh the risks at that point.
For moms who struggle with substance use, the same principle applies. If the baby was already exposed in utero, breastfeeding may provide protective benefits that outweigh the risks.
This is why it’s so important to have a lactation consultant who can look at your full history and help you make informed decisions.
We’re also seeing more moms being prescribed medication for prenatal or postpartum anxiety and depression, which has been on the rise. Some moms are told they can’t breastfeed while taking certain medications, but that’s often not true.
Take Xanax, for example. Whether it’s safe depends on the dosage and how much, if any, is transferred into the breast milk.
Pharmacists sometimes say, “No, you can’t breastfeed,” because there isn’t enough research, and they want to be cautious for liability reasons. But lactation consultants have access to databases that break down how medications behave in breast milk—how much is transferred, how long it stays in the milk, and whether it affects the baby.
For instance, if a mom is going into surgery and receiving certain types of dyes, I might recommend pumping and dumping for just four hours and then resuming breastfeeding, instead of ending her breastfeeding journey altogether.
Having a relationship with a lactation consultant is so important. It lets you build trust and ensures that you have someone who understands your unique situation. Just like you’d interview OBs, midwives, doulas, or pediatricians, it’s a good idea to meet with a lactation consultant prenatally to make sure it’s the right fit for you.
Samantha Tollison
Yeah, like I was saying earlier, I feel like we do such a good job of planning and preparing for birth, but then we completely put off postpartum and feeding. It’s like, "Well, we’ll just deal with that when we get there."
Samantha Tollison
And even I didn’t know about prenatal lactation support until recently—through meeting you and learning about it. I had no idea that was even an option! Now that I know, it just doesn’t make sense to me that anyone wouldn’t create a plan ahead of time.
I actually have a couple of specific questions. First, I’d love to hear some of your thoughts or maybe comparisons about moms who’ve seen you prenatally. How are they feeling immediately postpartum compared to moms who didn’t have that support? Do they tell you, "Oh, because I met with you beforehand, I knew what to expect, and everything’s going smoothly"? And did they even need as many postpartum visits, or were they better prepared?
Samantha Tollison
Second—and we can come back to this after—you mentioned dads. What kind of breastfeeding support do you offer to partners? Do they usually come to the prenatal appointments? What kinds of questions do they ask, and what advice or suggestions do you give partners for how to support moms during breastfeeding?
Amber Thomas
Great questions, Samantha! I actually have something that answers both of them: my Lactation Concierge Program.
When I looked at the statistics we discussed, I realized that families struggle the most during those first six weeks postpartum. It’s the roughest time—you’re learning, the baby’s learning, no one’s getting enough sleep, and there’s often not enough support. There’s just a lot going on.
So, I created the Lactation Concierge Program, which focuses on continuity of care. Not only are prenatal lactation consults important, but ongoing support is also key—and this includes dads!
Here’s how it works: you get six weekly visits, back to back.
- Visit 1: A prenatal consultation where we create your breastfeeding plan.
- Visit 2: Within 3–5 days postpartum, we focus on engorgement relief, latch, and positioning.
- Visit 3: Baby is going through a growth spurt and cluster feeding, so we address that, along with gas and tension release exercises.
- Visit 4: We work on nighttime feeding positions, like side-lying and laid-back positions, to help the whole family get more sleep.
- Visit 5: Introducing the bottle. We do a pumping session, and I guide dads through bottle-feeding techniques, like paced feeding and burping.
- Visit 6: Milk collection and storage for returning to work, breastfeeding in public, or building a stash.
After that, we do visits as needed—whether it’s returning to work, introducing solids, or troubleshooting issues like mastitis, plugged ducts, or thrush. Some moms even call me when they’re ready to wean, and we create a plan to do that safely and gradually. It’s really about supporting the entire breastfeeding journey.
To answer your first question: yes, I definitely see a difference in confidence when moms get that continuity of care. In the prenatal consults, we cover what to expect at the hospital because lactation support may not be available depending on when you deliver. We talk about how to get baby to the breast within the first hour, ask for help from nurses or lactation consultants, and start pumping or hand-expressing if baby isn’t latching well.
I even teach dads how to do hand expression because they often want to be hands-on. They like having practical tasks to help, and it makes them feel involved. I show them how to set up pump parts and how to support mom during feedings.
During the visits, I make sure parents are hands-on too. Early in my career, I did a lot of hands-on work myself, but I found that after I left, parents often felt lost. Now, I take a different approach:
- I show them how to do something.
- I guide them as they practice it.
- I let them do it on their own while I provide feedback.
Dads are included in all of that, and I encourage them to record the sessions on their phones so they can refer back later.
Samantha Tollison
I love that you include dads and give them specific, practical jobs. That’s so helpful! I know from my own experience—and from what I hear from other moms—that partners want to help, but they don’t always know how. They’ll ask, "What can I do? How can I help?" but that often just adds to the mom’s mental load because now she has to figure out what to delegate.
When you give dads a clear plan ahead of time, it takes so much pressure off moms. I imagine that’s a game-changer.
Samantha Tollison
Do you notice a difference in confidence for moms at that first postpartum visit if they’ve worked with you prenatally compared to moms who are seeing you for the first time at 3–5 days postpartum?
Amber Thomas
Absolutely! Moms who’ve done the prenatal consult or taken my breastfeeding class (which I recommend both parents attend) often tell me, "Everything you said would happen did happen, and we felt ready!"
For example, if baby was separated from mom after birth, dad did skin-to-skin and made sure the nurses didn’t give a pacifier. They started pumping or hand-expressing right away, so when they got home, they didn’t have to worry about nipple confusion.
These moms and dads are definitely more confident because they know what’s normal, what to expect, and how to handle things. And if something doesn’t go according to plan, they already have a backup plan.
For instance, if the baby isn’t latching, they know to pump and syringe-feed until I can get to them, instead of rushing to use nipple shields right away. They also know they can call, text, or FaceTime me for support.
When parents are prepared, they feel empowered—and that makes a huge difference.
Amber Thomas: A lot of the moms who graduate from our lactation concierge program are really committed. What I mean by that is they don’t give up at the first sign of trouble because they understand that challenges are normal.
Samantha Tollison: Mm-hmm.
Amber Thomas: They know there’s a solution, and they understand that they can work through it with their lactation consultant. There's definitely a higher level of commitment among our lactation concierge families.
Samantha Tollison: Yeah, I can definitely see that. It's kind of like having an unmedicated or out-of-hospital birth. You have to be committed. It’s not easy to do those things, and it’s not easy to exclusively breastfeed, either. There’s so much going on—you’re sleep-deprived, you have a new baby, you just went through the ringer, and you don’t even know what day it is.
Samantha Tollison: Having a plan in place beforehand and going into it prepared really makes a difference. I can’t even imagine how much of a difference that would make. So often, you see moms in those first few days or weeks postpartum when things didn’t go as planned. They’re lost, confused, and feel like everything is going wrong.
Samantha Tollison: It must be much harder to keep going when you’ve reached the lowest point and you feel like you either need to climb out or change feeding methods.
Amber Thomas: Absolutely. That’s such a great point, Samantha. Sometimes, things don't go as planned with the birth—maybe it ended in a C-section or the baby was in the NICU, which can interfere with breastfeeding. In those situations, moms often spiral into feeling like they’re failing, like their body isn’t working.
Amber Thomas: The birth didn’t go as planned, so they often look at breastfeeding as their chance to redeem themselves as a mom. And when both things—birth and breastfeeding—feel like they’re going wrong in the early days, it can deeply affect their emotional and psychological mindset, which influences their breastfeeding journey.
Amber Thomas: Having support during this time reassures them that, although things might look tough now, it’s actually normal, and there is a solution. We work through it together, and it’s much easier to keep going when you have that support.
Samantha Tollison: Mm-hmm. It's almost impossible to persevere without support.
Amber Thomas: Exactly. And like you said earlier, sometimes partners want to support but don’t know how. That’s a big part of it. Unfortunately, some partners just aren’t supportive—not because they don’t want to be, but because they see things differently. They see their loved one struggling, not getting enough sleep, and feeling overwhelmed with a crying baby.
Amber Thomas: So, they might suggest formula as an easier solution. I can understand how they might come to that conclusion—they’re seeing someone they love suffering and want to help in the simplest way possible.
Samantha Tollison: Yeah, it’s like how some people view an epidural—just trying to make things easier.
Amber Thomas: Exactly. And if a mom has a partner thinking that way, it can make everything harder. Research shows that women with supportive partners are more successful with breastfeeding, which is why it’s so crucial to have that emotional and practical support in place.
Amber Thomas: Lactation consultants can play a similar role to a doula by supporting the whole family—mom, dad, and baby—through the challenges of breastfeeding in those first few weeks.
Samantha Tollison: Yeah, I was just thinking about that comparison—how having a plan and following a schedule makes sense. Whether you choose an OB, a midwife, or another care plan for your birth, you already know there will be certain follow-up appointments after the birth.
Samantha Tollison: If you have a home birth, for example, your midwife will check on you within 48 hours of the baby being born. You know about your two-week and six-week appointments. Those milestones are already built into your plan.
Amber Thomas: Exactly!
Samantha Tollison: So, why aren’t we doing the same for feeding our babies? Birth is huge, and pregnancy takes so much energy. Moms are already consumed with all the appointments and preparation they need to do for birth, and it's hard to see past the birth to think about breastfeeding.
Samantha Tollison: But if they did, they could have prenatal breastfeeding appointments and already have a lactation consultant lined up.
Amber Thomas: You’re absolutely right.
Samantha Tollison: You might not know the exact day, but if you know your due date, you can easily reach out to your lactation consultant, and they can get you on the calendar. That way, you’re already set, and the support is there.
Amber Thomas: Yes, exactly. I love that analogy. Lactation care has come a long way over the past 16 years, but there’s still a long way to go. The same is true for doulas—awareness has increased, but there's still more work to be done.
Amber Thomas: There needs to be more respect for lactation care as a legitimate medical service, just like any other follow-up care you get from a doctor or midwife after birth.
Samantha Tollison: Mm-hmm.
Amber Thomas: Unfortunately, many moms feel like they can handle breastfeeding on their own. They don’t want to bother anyone or feel like they should be able to breastfeed their baby without extra help. That mindset is a barrier.
Amber Thomas: I’ve had several clients refer their friends to me after they’ve gone through my program, and some of them say they regret not reaching out sooner. They thought they could handle it themselves, but by the time they called, their baby was losing weight and they wished they had contacted me earlier.
Amber Thomas: I always ask what stopped them from reaching out sooner, and many moms say they thought they could do it themselves or that it would be one more thing to figure out.
Amber Thomas: But breastfeeding doesn’t have to be something you do alone—just like you don’t give birth alone, you don’t have to handle breastfeeding without support.
Samantha Tollison:
I wanted to go back to what you mentioned earlier about how a lot of moms go into breastfeeding thinking they should just “be able to breastfeed their babies”.
Right, their breasts were made for this. Their bodies are supposed to work, and breastfeeding should just happen. Which, ideally, yes, it should. But it’s the same with birth – your body is supposed to birth your baby, too. But sometimes, you need support in that area.
Amber Thomas:
Exactly.
Samantha Tollison:
Sometimes, more often than not, you need help. You need someone to monitor your baby’s heart rate, watch yours, and ensure everything is going as it should. And then be there in case it doesn’t. It's very rare for a mom to birth without support. Even though your body is made to do it, you usually need help. So, why don’t we treat feeding the same way? Yes, your body is made for it, but that doesn't mean it won't need a little help along the way.
Amber Thomas:
Great question.
Samantha Tollison:
We all need help. But yeah, this is so good.
Amber Thomas:
I really think doing podcasts like this is extremely helpful because families often don’t realize the full benefits of what a lactation consultant can do or what the visit entails. Even with a mom who called me two weeks after our visit, she said, "I wish I had called sooner. I learned so much. I didn’t know this could happen or that all these things were connected."
Samantha Tollison:
Wow.
Amber Thomas:
She said, "I’ve learned so much from you. I’m telling all my friends who are pregnant to meet with you, even prenatally." So I think once families realize all the support they’re getting and all the benefits, they’d say, "Who wouldn’t want that?" We just need to educate them more on the value of seeing a lactation consultant and what all it involves.
Samantha Tollison:
Exactly. And I’ve noticed that third- and fourth-time moms often have much better outcomes with nursing. I think it's because, like you said, they know what to expect. They understand that these challenges are normal, even if they’re hard.
Amber Thomas:
Right.
Samantha Tollison:
Yes, each baby has similar experiences, but now they know what to expect. So many times, those moms are like, "Okay, this is normal. The same thing happened with every baby. They all lost a little weight, and it was okay." They know how to navigate those obstacles because they’ve experienced them before.
Amber Thomas:
Exactly.
Samantha Tollison:
And this could be so much easier if we met with a lactation consultant prenatally during our first pregnancy. Then we could be better prepared to handle all the challenges from the start instead of learning the hard way with each pregnancy.
Amber Thomas:
Yes, that’s such a good point.
Samantha Tollison:
It’s true. But I also think it's a misconception to think that a lactation consultant is only for first-time moms. It’s helpful to meet with a lactation consultant prenatally for every pregnancy because every baby is different, even for experienced moms.
Amber Thomas:
Exactly. Even for moms who've had multiple babies, the experiences vary. I've worked with clients who had five babies, and each one had different breastfeeding challenges. For example, lip and tongue ties are common, but they affect each baby differently.
Samantha Tollison:
That's so interesting.
Amber Thomas:
Yes, one baby might have very obvious symptoms, while another might have milder ones. So, even though the first baby might have had dramatic symptoms, the second baby could have had more subtle signs that mom didn’t notice right away. We had to address it, but not as urgently. With each baby, symptoms can be different, and it’s essential to treat each one as its own unique experience.
Samantha Tollison:
That makes so much sense. Each baby is different, just like each pregnancy and birth. Even within the same family, each experience can be completely different.
Amber Thomas:
Exactly. And moms often compare their babies, but it’s important to remember that each one is a different person with their own needs and challenges.
Samantha Tollison:
Right, and it’s so easy to compare and think, “This baby was fine, so this one should be too.” But every baby is different, and every experience is different.
Amber Thomas:
Absolutely.
Samantha Tollison:
Okay, let’s summarize. What are the key points when creating a breastfeeding plan? What are some questions to consider?
Amber Thomas:
A breastfeeding plan should include the family’s goals, their medical and reproductive history, and their supplies and inventory. Questions to ask include: How long do you want to breastfeed? If you’ve breastfed before, what struggles did you face? Will you be returning to work? If so, is your work at home or outside the home? We can then plan milk storage and pumping. Do you have support? Is your partner supportive of breastfeeding? Do you have family or a postpartum doula to help?
Samantha Tollison:
Perfect. And how can moms in the DFW area work with you? Where can they find you?
Amber Thomas:
I can be found through my website, social media, or email. I also work with The Lactation Network, which can be a great resource for moms to find out if they qualify for covered lactation services, especially since having a baby can be expensive.
Samantha Tollison:
Great info! Thanks for sharing all of that!
Amber Thomas:
So, I do home visits—private in-home visits. As a lactation consultant, I'm seeing two clients: the mom and the baby. Each has their own set of needs. When I come to the home, I’m caring for both, which makes it a little different than seeing a doctor or midwife, where you’re typically seeing two different doctors for two different things.
Samantha Tollison:
Hmm, got it.
Amber Thomas:
Right, so with me, I have two patients, which sometimes makes it more costly than a typical office visit. For example, a doctor’s office visit might cost around $125 to $175. If you don’t have insurance, it could be double that, but insurance generally covers that.
With TLN, the Lactation Network, they help with insurance billing. It’s a third-party company that assesses your insurance coverage. I have a link that I share with moms—once they enter their insurance details, TLN usually lets us know within 24 hours if their plan is approved.
Samantha Tollison:
Perfect.
Amber Thomas:
Most plans they cover include Blue Cross, Blue Shield, Anthem, UnitedHealthcare, but unfortunately, Cigna is no longer partnered with TLN. You might have to call your insurance if they don’t cover private lactation visits; some may direct you to an outpatient clinic or a hospital instead. However, more insurance companies are covering private visits now, and sometimes you can get reimbursed for a private lactation consult.
Samantha Tollison:
Got it. And where can local moms find you and connect?
Amber Thomas:
They can find me on Instagram at @MotherEveCSS. My website is www.motherevecss.com, and my email is amber@motherevecss.com. All of that info, along with the TLN link, is available there.
Samantha Tollison:
Perfect. I’ll include all of those links in the show notes as well. Thank you so much for all of the information you shared today. I learned something new, even after all these years of knowing you! I hope our listeners find this as informative as I did, and I really hope more moms have success and confidence in their breastfeeding journeys by reaching out to book a prenatal appointment with their lactation consultant.
Amber Thomas:
Awesome, thank you so much for having me and giving me the opportunity to share this with you and your audience. It’s been a pleasure, and I’m happy to answer any questions or follow-ups anyone might have.
