Why you should join our new latchME network

It's time to redefine ourselves as a global breastfeeding entity. Over the past year we built latchMD through breastfeeding outreach, research and support system development, all the while helping many local mothers breastfeed. Then we had a realization. There are way more mothers out there struggling without any help than any one service can see! Thus latchME--the world's first international, professional breastfeeding support network--was born.

Yes exclusively breastfeeding is the ideal way to feed your baby, but did you know that over 90% of women (in the US at least) receive 'free' formula gift baskets in the hospital before discharge? Think about the message this sends. New research also shows more than 90% of mothers (it's no coincidence) struggle with breastfeeding in the first weeks home. A whopping 60% never reach their own personal breastfeeding goals. Yikes!
