"It was Truly a Magical Experience"
Really listen to these women.
Really see their faces.
Birth is important.
The birth experience for mother and baby is important.
It is not an easy journey. That's why it's called "motherhood".

Postpartum/Breastfeeding Resource for our Area
It was July 2013 when I first posted about meeting the founder of one of the newest (and desperately needed) breastfeeding resources in our community last week.
Ms. Julee Krechel recently held the grand opening of Southeast Maternal Medical Supply in Pawleys Island, South Carolina. Julee together with Ms. Katherine Hunt (who together, have *been there, done that* when it comes to all of the challenges of breastfeeding and pumping) are helping new moms obtain breast pumps and supplies through purchase or rental, in addition to working with insurance providers to comply with the Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare). If you have a breastfeeding question, they have the answer.
Julee is not ONLY certified as an "Advanced Lactation Consultant" AND a "Certified Lactation Counselor", but has also obtained her credentials as an "International Board Certified Lactation Consultant", which involved a rigorous evaluation by the International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners. The IBLCE is the only international certifying body, and the gold standard in lactation and breastfeeding professional specialization.
In the Hynes Childbirth Preparation classes, we allow an entire three hour class to discuss the challenges and importance of the postpartum period including newborn care and breastfeeding. Based on my informal research, the postpartum period is one of the most overlooked aspects of childbirth preparation. It is essential to establish your postpartum plan for the first week home, the first month, and the first six months. Breastfeeding is usually a brand new adventure for moms. It can be challenging and it can be exhausting. It is so important to have access to a breastfeeding professional that can help with the latch, reassure you that baby is getting enough, and you are doing well. Feeling isolated in the breastfeeding and postpartum experience is one of the leading causes of postpartum depression. A few positioning tweaks from a professional can do a world of good for a mommy/baby bond and nutrition.
Call Julee at (843) 235-2305 or visit at 263 Commerce Drive, Unit 101 in Pawleys Island, South Carolina 29585 behind the Sonic and The Fresh Market.
