“I grew up seeing breastfeeding everywhere... cousins, family friends, it was never something unusual to me"
Amy shares her experiences with motherhood, breastfeeding, and the challenges she’s faced along the way. Her background played a significant role in her motivation: growing up in a family where breastfeeding was the norm, she assumed it would be easy for her as well.
