This week on the Mommy Labor Nurse podcast I had the chance to talk with fellow Raleigh girl, Courtney Miller!

Courtney Miller has been a registered nurse since 2016 and is now an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). Her passion for breastfeeding began after giving birth to her son in March 2019, and she quickly realized there wasn’t enough readily-available breastfeeding education and support out there for new moms.

Now she says she has found her calling of helping moms and their families along their breastfeeding journey! 

Courtney regularly uses her personal breastfeeding experience, along with evidence-based research, to help educate and support the families she works alongside. Courtney is the face behind @TheBetterBoob on Instagram.

Inside of the episode I spoke with Courtney all about the benefits of virtual lactation consultants, and then we switched gears and did a total deep dive into the topic of tongue ties – which I know is something that a LOT of you are curious about.

There’s so much great info packed into this episode, so let’s get right to it!

As a labor and delivery nurse, I’ve spent countless hours with women who felt anxious — even fearful — about giving birth. I want you to know it doesn’t have to be that way for you!

Are you ready to have an even better birth?

Everything in your hospital’s childbirth class – plus so. much. more. Get the knowledge and tools necessary for a positive birth experience – no matter how you deliver!

Natural Birth Class

Eliminate the what-ifs and feel strong and ready for your unmedicated birth.

Start here if birthing without an epidural is your goal!

Epidural Birth Class

Let go of fear and feel fully prepared for (and unafraid of!) your epidural birth.

Start here if you know you want that epidural – or you’re not sure what your birth goals are!

C-Section Birth Class

Release anxiety and gain a sense of control for your C-section birth.

Start here if you have a planned C-section on the horizon. You deserve birth education too!
