The Breastfeeding Series on That's Total Mom Sense
August is Breastfeeding Awareness Month so I am bringing you The Breastfeeding Series on That’s Total Mom Sense. A 3-part series with leaders in the industry.
Some people feel breast is best and others think fed is best and I’m here to be an objective insight and provide perspective for you because in the end, you have to trust your mom sense.
So whether you breastfeed, formula feed, pump, or use donor milk, it’s entirely up to you.
However, it is important to destigmatize breastfeeding in modern day society. I want you to know your options, the benefits, hear from medical professionals, public figures, and legal experts on lactation regulations in the workplace which you can use to your advantage.
I hope you feel empowered by the Breastfeeding Series on “That’s Total Mom Sense.”
Introduction
Breastfeeding. For some, it’s a magical, bonding experience and others, it’s painful and triggering or non-existent. For some reason though, speaking to a new mom about breastfeeding has become a loaded conversation.
Today, we’re going to change that and destigmatize breastfeeding whether you’re in favor or not. I’m happy to share my journey and honest opinions, and I’m excited to bring on thought leaders to share their knowledge to commemorate Breastfeeding Awareness Month all August long.
Today I am joined by Patty Gatter, founder of The Breastfeeding Shop, a family owned business that supplies mothers who choose to breastfeed with the proper help, guidance, and accessories they need to nourish their babies.
Patty is a mother of two boys, a wife to an amazing husband and a serial entrepreneur. Like most women, she’s got multitasking down pat. She comes from a lineage of entrepreneurs and has worked in the healthcare industry for over 15 years.
When the Affordable Care Act made it a requirement for insurance to cover breast pumps, Patty jumped at the opportunity to make this an equalizer for all new moms. She combined her love and passion for being a mother and breastfeeding with her entrepreneurial spirit and launched, The Breastfeeding Shop. She not only provides top of the line breast pumps like Medela, Spectra and Willow to expecting moms, the company aids mothers in their breastfeeding journey with consultants available via telehealth 24/7.
When Patty was in college, she felt inspired by an article she read in Glamour about a woman who started a business and was able to offer her employees a team working environment that catered to their busy “mom” schedules”. It made an impression on her and so she did exactly that.
