Hi, I'm Cait.
I'm a North Carolina mom of two wild, wonderful boys, a wife to Sully, and a NICU nurse with a deep passion for helping babies thrive. My career has taken me from the Pediatric Cardiac ICU to the Pediatric PACU and now the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Wherever I've worked, one thing has stayed the same: I love caring for babies and supporting families in some of their most vulnerable moments.
But nothing prepared me for my own feeding journey.
When my first baby, Crew, was born, I was determined to breastfeed. I figured it would come naturally, so I didn't prepare. Yet I ended up at home with cracked, bleeding nipples, a screaming, hungry baby, and no idea what to do. After many tears (from both of us), I switched to exclusive pumping. I felt lost. I fell down the Google rabbit hole, followed influencers to learn the basics, and ended up exclusively pumping for 11 months.
Round two wasn't any easier.
With my second baby, Emmett, I did everything differently. I had more education, prenatal support from an IBCLC, and a lot more confidence. And still, it was hard. The exhaustion, both emotional and physical, was real. Eventually I made the decision that changed everything: my mental health mattered too.
That's what brought me here.
I realized how much I needed support, guidance, and community, and how many other moms felt the same way. So I started sharing my journey, connecting with other mothers, and turning my personal experience into a professional passion.
Today I'm an IBCLC with the goal to help other moms get the support they need and deserve. If you're struggling, you don't have to figure it out alone. I'm here to help you feel confident, supported, and heard.
Pumping is breastfeeding
