Motherhood Meets Medicine

One of the most stress inducing parts of becoming a new mom is figuring out how to feed your baby. There’s so much rhetoric around the entire process that no matter what you choose to do it seems like you’re immediately failing at this super important job.

But you’re not! Fed is best, no matter how the feeding occurs. Here to share more about embracing diverse paths in infant nutrition is Erin Moore.

Erin is a pediatric nurse practitioner, certified lactation counselor, and mom of two boys who were fed with breastmilk and formula. She believes that moms should have unbiased and non-judgmental support throughout their baby's entire feeding journey - even if it takes them to unexpected places. Her mission is to reduce mom guilt and support maternal mental health.
