Morgan Jackson is a Registered Nurse and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant who founded Prepared Beginnings because she is passionate about women and infant health, growth in motherhood, and seeing families thrive. I’m a month away from giving birth(!) and I don’t remember how to breastfeed, so I’ve been paying close attention to Morgan’s Instagram and all of the practical breastfeeding advice that she shares. Morgan’s also the mother of a beautiful boy and currently pregnant with baby number two, and I’m so excited to not just have this conversation but be going through this process alongside Morgan!
