Welcome to YourBestMilk!


I’m Jen Peters, a mom of 3, a nurse, lactation consultant, and proud author of The Breastfeeding Survival Guide. If there’s one thing I know from over a decade of working as a lactation consultant its that while breastfeeding is natural, it also has to be learned, and this learning process can be challenging! My goal with The Breastfeeding Survival Guide is twofold- First I wanted to start by filling in the educational gaps I’ve seen new moms struggle with in their breastfeeding journey, especially the early days. Second, I wanted to provide new moms like you with a solid foundation of breastfeeding knowledge that will allow you to feel confident in the many big and little decisions that you will make during your breastfeeding journey. Breastfeeding is truly a journey. The path is always twisting and turning but you will find your way. This book will simply help hold your hand as you navigate your journey, it will be your survival guide.



One important side note is that this is not a “you need to breastfeed at all costs” book. While we all understand that breastmilk is best for babies in general, one size does not fit all. There are certain situations where formula is indicated and necessary. The Breastfeeding Survival Guide is a very realistic guide that acknowledges with certainly that there is a time and place for formula for some breastfeeding moms and babies and also helps guide you through these circumstances as well.


Lastly, in the future I plan to expand this website to include courses and other downloads to accompany The Breastfeeding Survival Guide so please stay tuned!


Hope to hear from you soon!
