If you guessed…
Rely on family, friends, and even your doula to speak for you and swoop in and save the day when things aren’t going to plan … sis, no – that’s not the answer. I’ll tell you why in just a minute.
Depend on books, blogs, and hospital classes to show you the way … nope – that’s not it either. There is way better information available to you than what you’re hearing from Google and your well-meaning mommy groups.
Lower your expectations for the birth you want to have and your ability to breastfeed your baby without formula … ummm, no! Don’t downplay yourself sis. You absolutely can do this.

Did you guess any of the above? If so, deep breath – this is actually really great news! It means:
You want what’s best for your baby, and you’re already doing so many things right.
Like …
Researching your birth and breastfeeding options
Assembling your birth team
Thinking about your breastfeeding goals
Getting your partner on board with your plans
Because you want to breastfeed your baby – giving them the absolute best nutrition possible – without feeling afraid that you won’t know what to do, or second guessing every decision that you make.

As an expecting woman of color, you deserve to…
Be prepared for every scenario that can come up during pregnancy, birth, and while breastfeeding … so you can confidently make the best, most informed decisions possible for you and your baby.
Know how to advocate for yourself at prenatal appointments, in the delivery room, and postpartum while breastfeeding … so you can have a birth that promotes you to start your breastfeeding journey with an abundant milk supply.
Feel safe, educated, and supported in a community where breastfeeding as a black woman is normal, celebrated, and encouraged.
Have the unwavering mindset that you absolutely can give your baby the very best start in life by reaching your breastfeeding goal.

There’s just one small ... eh hem … enormous problem:
Every time you go to a prenatal visit, you leave feeling like your questions and fears of the unknown are not being addressed.
It’s like … you’re ‘just another patient.’ You get the same generic advice they dish to everyone, without taking the time to really hear or understand you.

You know you’re not as prepared to give birth and breastfeed your baby as you want to be.
(Not yet, sis– but we’re gonna get you there!)

To be the #Boss of your birth and breastfeeding journey, you need to know your options and be ready to make the best decisions for your body and your baby in any situation that comes up …
…. and you won’t get that kind of knowledge or inner power by relying exclusively on your doula or reading another birth book.

Hold up, hold up, hold up … you might be wondering:
“Who am I… and am I *really* qualified to teach you how to breastfeed your baby?”
Hey girl hey, I’m Coach Court!
Here are 4 reasons why you want me in your back pocket if you want to thrive as a healthy, happy breastfeeding mama:
#1 – I’m a registered nurse with 8+ years of experience specializing in labor & delivery, postpartum, and pediatrics. I was even a maternity clinical instructor at one of the top nursing universities in the U.S.!
#2 – I have been the one and only black independent IBCLC – that’s International Board Certified Lactation Consultant – in the state of Tennessee. If you didn’t know, having your IBCLC is like having a doctorate in lactation. This means I am trained at the highest level on how to handle and solve breastfeeding issues.
#3 – Since we started in 2020, the women of color in my program, The Melanated Milkies Club, have had a 100% trauma-free birth rate and a 98% 12+ month breastfeeding success rate. Mic drop.
#4 – Most importantly - I’m a mama. I’ve had 2 babies, two home births, and two beautifully bonding breastfeeding journeys, each for over a year. And (maybe like you!) I was the first generation in my family to have these ‘being extra’ ideas. (For the record - you’re definitely not being extra!)
What I’m saying sis, is that I’m not new to this – I’m true to this.
I’m the one & only expert black birth and breastfeeding coach on these Internet streets, and I know my program can help you achieve a trauma-free birth and reach your breastfeeding goals.

“Anytime something comes up in my breastfeeding journey, I know I can ask for help, and within 24 hours (usually it’s within one hour!) I’m going to have a response from someone legit - someone who cares about me, my family, and my success as a black woman breastfeeding.”

At Minimum, the average household saves $9000 per year by breastfeeding!
Nine.Thousand.Dollars. $9000!!!
I didn’t make this stat up – it’s straight from the CDC.
Because breastfed babies have a rock-solid immune system - which means fewer missed days of work, doctor’s visits, and money spent on copays, prescriptions, and formula.
You could choose to …
Drop thousands of dollars on formula – which costs about $4000+ in your baby’s first year alone.
Waste money on missed work hours and extra doctor’s visits. I mean … if you have to miss 1-2 days of work every other month to care for your sick little one – how much is that gonna cost?
Give your child the best head start and advantage they could possibly have in life – and have the confidence, as a mom, that you are making the right choices at every step in their development – for much less of an investment by joining the Melanated Milkies Club.
Ok, I might be ... a little biased, but this choice is still
pretty obvious, sis!
HEAR WHAT MEMBERS ARE SAYING INSTEAD…

“My goal was to breastfeed my baby for at least 12 months – and I did it!
I always knew I wanted to breastfeed my baby, but I didn't know how. I also did not have anyone around me who knew about breastfeeding … so I knew I needed to find someone to help me.
Courtney provided information from all angles. The good, the bad, and the ugly. She gave me strategies on how to overcome any obstacles I could face during birth and while breastfeeding. She was also upfront and let me know that things may not always go as planned … but that I can always pivot and shift.
Courtney will give you the roadmap you need to reach your birth and breastfeeding goals. Her knowledge and the tribe that she has created will make sure you are never alone on your breastfeeding journey.”
