We first met Lynn when we attended the breastfeeding class at St. Clare. During this class, she was so engaging, kind and informative. I took a page and a half of notes and still look back on it as the best class we took before our daughter was born. We met Lynn again in the hospital. She joined us right after delivery to get our daughter to eat for the first time. I never could have done it without her guidance and positive support. She helped us another evening while she was supposed to be working on breast pump rentals. She was willing to use her own time to help us feel confident and successful feeding our daughter. Now, I still get the privilege of seeing Lynn on some Wednesdays when we attend weigh-in Wednesdays. Every time she weighs my baby, she makes me feel like the best mother in the world with kind words of support and encouragement. The way she talks with everyone is so sweet and supportive. Even the moms having so much trouble feel better after talking with her. Not only is her kind manner one of the best things about her, but she is incredibly knowledgeable. There is never a question she can't answer or an issue she can't help with. She's always willing to go above and beyond to help moms breastfeed their babies. Lynn's passion is evident and we're so lucky she was part of our story as we welcomed our little one and everyone who gets to meet and work with her at SSM is lucky too. It's amazing to think of all the moms who were able to nurture their babies with breast milk because of Lynn.
