Sandy J. Green's Bio:
Sandy J. Green is a Certified Lactation Counselor, a Postpartum Doula and the mom of two beautiful pumplings. After exclusively pumping for her son, over three years ago, Sandy realized there was a big problem. No one was taking care of the pumping moms. On a very deep level Sandy knew she wanted to change that. Sandy says nothing lights her up more than hearing a mom say she's proud to exclusively pump and no longer feels guilty or overwhelmed.Her goal is simple: that you have the knowledge, confidence, and pride to make infant-feeding decisions that work best for you, your family, and you!
