Eight years ago, an urgent and life-changing encounter influenced my entire life and the entire lives of several people around me.

When my next daughter was created, I currently belonged to a breastfeeding association and helped to coordinate a national breastfeeding congress. On my solution to a breastfeeding association ending up in my child in the trolley, we had been crossing the final pedestrian crossing whenever a distracted driver accelerated by way of a red traffic light, striking us on the crosswalk.

Thankfully, my litttle lady wasn’t hurt. Night inside a healthcare facility for observation she just needed one. But while my infant girl quickly recovered, she needed to be without me for just two several weeks. I couldn’t nurture or nourish her small growing entire body because I has been on an extended and slow trip toward recovery. I invested to the ICU for ten times, and stayed in a healthcare facility for just two weeks until I could walk again. Each day the next months I visited rehab.

The triangle of achievement

 

Breastfeeding was vital that you me, therefore i found everything I had a need to get it back again: Usage of trusted information, professional assistance, and women network.

And the seed of my entire life task was planted: LactApp.

I realized that a lot of breastfeeding difficulties could possibly be solved with exactly the same formulation of success We experienced within my recovery:

• • Dependable, updated, and trusted details,

• • Specialized doctor support,

• • And a supporting system that provided empirical information and identified references.

There was one individual who was essential throughout my healing process, and that has been future and friend LactApp co-founder, Alba Padró. She had been an international board-qualified lactation consultant, book influencer and author. Before my incident, Alba volunteered on a 24/7 breastfeeding assistance hotline. Also it was clear if you ask me: we’d have to download Alba’s human brain into an app to greatly help globally nursing mothers.
