Subsequently, it’s becoming more and more the norm to see nursing moms on camera, being socialites, incorporating their home life with work and getting paid to essentially….be themselves.

“After my last pregnancy and birth was so horrific, I just wanted to enjoy this one. I wanted to make it more fun and to feel great.
