Lived experiences

Jamie had over-supply with both of her breastfed children. Her first child had a posterior tongue tie and lip tie that were both released at 6 weeks. She went through extreme pain, vasospasms, and major nipple damage. After the release of the tethered oral tissues, Jamie continued on to breastfeed for over two years, pain free. She then breastfeed her second child for 3.5 years. She successfully and easily and lovingly weaned both children when they were ready.
