Empowering Moms, Transforming Breastfeeding

As a physician and OBGYN, I never anticipate how hard breastfeeding would be. After exclusively pumping for 8 months, dealing with terrible supply issues, and pumping up to 8 times a day, I was so fearful of the breastfeeding journey with my second child. Dr. Braden was so supportive and wonderful. I talked to her prior to my son’s birth. The advice she gave me about hand expression, nursing on demand, and reading his hunger cues was spot on. I exclusively nursed my son for 8 months and had a HUGE freezer stash that carried us to 10 months when he stopped nursing. I am so thankful for her advice and the beautiful breastfeeding experience I was able to have.

Dr. Braden is a very knowledgeable, caring and highly experienced practitioner. Her expertise comes not only from her academic achievements, but also from her own personal experience as a mother. It is clear that her main goal with Lybbie is to provide much needed information and support for breastfeeding mothers from all walks of life!

She was a huge support system when I started breastfeeding. I had no friends who had kids so no one knew about pumping at work and Dr. Braden was always there to keep me on my journey and made me know I wasn’t the only nursing mom.

Dr. Braden has turned her long-time professional passion into another way to reach people at all stages of breastfeeding. Her expertise and insights are invaluable to this community, whose needs often get overlooked. I trust her medical advice implicitly and this is no exception.
