The Part Where You Wonder If It’s Just You (It’s Not)

Breastfeeding isn’t supposed to feel like a full-time research project. If any of this hits home, you’re in the right place.

You’ve Googled “is my baby getting enough?” more times than you can count.

You’ve been told to “just keep nursing” without any real guidance.

You’ve tried to power through pain, stress, or supply issues on your own.

You’ve wondered if you’re doing something wrong—or if you should just give up.

You feel pressure to do it “right,” even though no one agrees on what that means.

You want to keep going, but you’re not sure how much longer you can keep this up.

You just wish someone would walk you through what’s normal, what matters, and what to do next—without the guilt trip.

Hi, I’m Katie!

IBCLC, mom of three, and creator of Fuss-Free First Year

I created this resource because I’ve been the exhausted mom crying over a pump, stuck in the middle of conflicting advice and feeling like I was failing at something that was supposed to be natural. After fighting for my own breastfeeding journey and realizing just how common these struggles are, I became an IBCLC to make sure no mom has to go through it alone.

Since then, I’ve helped thousands of families navigate the messy, beautiful, and sometimes totally overwhelming feeding journey—from first latch to final wean. I’m all about honest support, real-life solutions, and reminding you that you’re doing better than you think.

You won’t find judgment here—just guidance that meets you where you are, whether you're nursing, pumping, combo feeding, or still figuring it all out with one hand and a lukewarm coffee in the other. Let’s make feeding feel less chaotic... and maybe even kind of empowering.
