Are you pregnant or breastfeeding during the Coronavirus Pandemic?

I first met Katie Madden in January 2017 when my now 3 year old was brand new and we were struggling.  At that point I did not know how much she and Balanced Breastfeeding would come to mean to me.  When I got pregnant with my second son I knew I needed to meet with her for a pre-natal appointment (wish I had done that the first time around!).  She helped me develop a realistic plan to be most successful this time, and now 11 months later the support and care she has given has never waivered.  Her online courses are informative and every aspect of the online system is easy to use (like it's 2 am and you haven't slept more than an hour stretch in days and you need to find out if giving a pacifier to the screaming baby is "okay", kind of easy!).   Katie has the ability to facilitate groups (in- person and on-line) like no other- she is real, she is caring, and she has a way of making you realize that you can handle anything that is thrown your way.  Balanced Breastfeeding online support and the connections I have made with other mamas has helped me in more ways than I can possibly express.  Of all the "things" you get/do to prepare for baby, joining this community will be one you will never regret!

Katie’s platform online is the perfect reassurance I needed as a new mom. The balance breastfeeding website search bar was my best friend for the first few weeks of life with a newborn. Her virtual support groups were the perfect opportunity to connect with moms, while also not having to stress about being able to get myself out of the house on time. Even at almost 12 months as a mama I refer to her website for help, as well as the support of moms I connected with via her groups and workshops.

Dear Mama-to-Be,
If I could go back in time, to tell my pregnant-self one thing, it would be: “Find Katie Madden”.  During this first year of becoming a Mama, there has not been one thing I have depended on more than her services. Let Katie guide you, as you navigate this new journey into motherhood. You may not know it yet, but you will need this. The online academy and support groups are easy to navigate and essential for a new mom. Congratulations and welcome to the club!


Much love,

 Katie has a way of prompting you to think about your feelings, truly feel them, understand why you feel them, and learn from them. Katie is someone that will cheer you on and ALWAYS has you and baby’s best interest at heart. The online content is so educational and will help you answer so many questions that you’ll have when figuring out this new stage of life.
