Welcome! I'm Maddison Hood, a Certified Lactation Counselor dedicated to supporting mothers on their breastfeeding journeys. As a mother of three wonderful boys, each of my breastfeeding experiences have been unique and transformative, shaping my passion for helping others along their journey.
My journey began with my first son. As a first-time mom, I felt overwhelmed and lacked the proper knowledge and education to navigate breastfeeding successfully. I ended up exclusively pumping for seven months. Determined to have a different experience with my second son, I faced unexpected challenges when he was born six weeks early and spent nine days in the NICU. With the invaluable support of an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), I learned alternative breastfeeding methods and felt hopeful for our future. Tragically, my son Waylon passed away at just over a month old due to Parechovirus. In his memory, I continued to pump and donated over 4,000 ounces of milk to babies in need.
In 2023, my third son was born, and I was more determined than ever to have a successful breastfeeding journey. With the continued support of the same IBCLC and my sister, who is also a Certified Lactation Counselor, I experienced a fulfilling nursing journey that ignited a deep passion within me to help other mothers.
I understand first hand the challenges and triumphs of breastfeeding. My goal is to provide you with the tools, education, and support you need to have a positive and successful breastfeeding experience, whatever YOU want that to look like. Whether you're a first-time mom or navigating new challenges, I'm here to help you every step of the way.
Thank you for visiting my page. Let's embark on this journey together.
Warm regards, Maddison Hood, CLC
