I have been an accredited La Leche League Leader since December 2013.

  • Empower and support families during the prenatal and postpartum periods, as well as throughout their breastfeeding experiences.

  • Receive telephone calls and make hospital and in-home visits when necessary to help with breastfeeding struggles.

  • Help to moderate an online forum currently serving over 6700 breastfeeding families.

  • Refer families to appropriate healthcare providers when lactation management needs medical attention.

During the 2016 legislative session, I actively promoted SB 2070 in the media, sent personal correspondence, and met with members of the Public Health and Welfare subcommittee to keep the bill moving forward in the legislative process.

SB 2070 was an important piece of legislation for breastfeeding families

in Mississippi. The bill passed in amended form and was signed into law in July 2016: § 41-135-1 through § 41-135-9 of the Mississippi Code. 

I wrote an article about the benefits of breastfeeding that was published in the July 2016 issue of Parents & Kids Magazine. To view the article as it was printed, follow the link. To view the article as it was submitted, click the button.
