Nourish Breastfeeding Support is MOVING!

December 12, 2012 by Amber McCann, IBCLC Leave a Comment

It is so, so bittersweet for me as Maryland has been where I grew my babies, breastfed my babies, grew my business and helped other mothers breastfeed their own babies over the past 9 years. But soon, our family is moving to Pittsburgh, with the help of our local moving compant, and with that comes stepping […]

Because I Believe Birth is Normal…

April 19, 2012 by Amber McCann, IBCLC 9 Comments

Tonight, amid the homework and pizza and playing with friends and tucking in, I spent my time on the couch, staring at my computer screen.  I was transfixed.  I was mesmerized.  And I invited my daughter to stare into the screen as well… We were watching as Jessica (known to many as “The Leaky Boob“) […]

Success

“Mothering success in not measured in ounces or drops of milk that flow from breast to mouth. It’s measured in the love that flows between mother and baby.” Diana Cassar-Uhl

Little Boys

December 9, 2011 by Amber McCann, IBCLC 6 Comments

My youngest child, who we like to call Mr. T, is creeping up on the age of 7.  He has been a surprise to me from the moment I gagged on my toothbrush, causing me to think, “Could I be pregnant?”  Born just 14 months after his brother, his life has been a study in […]

Paradox

September 19, 2011 by Amber McCann, IBCLC 4 Comments

If there is one thing that I seek to communicate in my work with breastfeeding mothers, it is that their bodies are intended for this job…that it is a process that should happen regardless of what culture, guilt, pressure or even their mother-in-laws tell them.  That their body will do this thing regardless of what […]

For Clarity

May 11, 2011 by Amber McCann, IBCLC 1 Comment

Thank you to everyone who shared, retweeted, responded, commented and gave insight on my last blog.  So wonderful to hear so many people’s perspective. I feel like I need to clarify a point that was widely misunderstood. I love hippies.  Just like I love punks and DINKS and mamas who are “too posh to push”. […]

For the Hippies

May 8, 2011 by Amber McCann, IBCLC 19 Comments

I really like mascara. And if I could pull off Adele’s eye lashes, I totally would. My kids totally dig a McDonald’s cheeseburger. My hair requires precision cutting. I really like my anti-perspirant and I shave under my arms. I prefer polka dots to tie dye. I like to wear high heels. I’ve never been to […]

No Woman, No Cry

May 5, 2011 by Amber McCann, IBCLC Leave a Comment

I had 3 births.  Three different births.  Three lovely births.  I came home with beautiful babies.  I had no complications.  I had only the interventions I agreed to, which I had researched and decided about ahead of time.  When my births were over, I felt empowered, full and blessed.  I look back with gratitude and […]

Different

April 20, 2011 by Amber McCann, IBCLC 3 Comments

As a young college student, I took a trip one Spring Break to New York City. I had grown up in a small, mid-western town and while I had enjoyed a long stream of missionaries sharing their stories in church services as a child, my personal multi-cultural experiences were few. I watched out the window […]

Sniffing Baby Heads…

April 5, 2011 by Amber McCann, IBCLC Leave a Comment

Many apologies for my sporadic blogging as of late. I’ve been busy sniffing baby heads… Actually, I’ve spent much of my time over the past weeks kicking Nourish Breastfeeding Support into high gear. Spring has sprung (or rather sprung and then retreated again and is now here for good…I hope) and with it, my energy […]
