Teryn's Success Story:

"I am a mother of identical triplets who spent 77 days each in the NICU. I breastfed them for 1 year thanks to Faith with Milk Mechanics. She took the time to meet with me when I was pregnant and prepare me for what was ahead. I had a number of lactation nurses and other nurses in the hospital tell me I wouldn't be able to breastfeed 3 babies. They gave me information that was false and tried to get me to just give the babies formula. Even our pediatrician is a certified lactation consultant and offered little to no help when it came to pumping and breastfeeding. If it hadn't been for Faith and her dedication to encourage me, educate me, and answer all of my questions, I never could have done it. Breastfeeding can be a complicated thing that too many women give up on too easily because they don't have the right support and the right information. Faith told me when I was pregnant that people would tell me I couldn't do it. She also said to ignore them because I could and she would help me... and she did... and I did."
