About the Founder
Hi, I’m Erin — former NICU nurse turned lactation consultant and mom of two. Through my work in the hospital, I understood breastfeeding from a clinical perspective, but becoming a mother showed me just how complex and overwhelming this season can be. I experienced firsthand many of the challenges moms face from latching difficulties to milk supply concerns and everything in between.
That experience deeply shaped the way I care for families today. I know how vulnerable feeding challenges can feel, and I also know how powerful the right support can be.
My mission is to offer the kind of support I needed during my own feeding journey — knowledgeable care, compassionate support, and maybe even a couple of cookies.

Meet Clara - Our IBCLC in training
Hi everyone, I’m Clara!
I am a recent stay at home mom, but have been working as a pharmaceutical scientist for the last 5 years. I am married to my high school sweet heart and together we have one daughter named Kamryn!
My journey in lactation started when I had my daughter. She was born late preterm and had latching issues, jaundice and a three day NICU stay. Due to this, we started supplementing with bottles almost immediately. We were having a difficult breastfeeding journey until we met Erin! She helped us through all of our issues, got us weaned off the bottle completely and had a successful feeding journey. She totally inspired me to want to help other mamas, and also why I am choosing to pursue a career in lactation. I’m super excited to be apart of the Milk & Cookies team!
