Hi, I'm Jessi
I'm a skilled lactation support, early years learning advocate, and a resource speaker for breastfeeding and early years learning projects. I used to work in R&D but now I translate complex science to support many families in their first years of parenting.
Nanay is a Filipino endearment term for "mother", while NANAY means Nurturing Awareness in Nursing And Early Years Parenting. This little project is built to personally support not just the nanay's who want to breastfeed but everyone including members of the community who desire to raise children into secure and compassionate contributors to our society.

Why foster secure attachment?
If we want our children to be independent, to go out and take on the world, we have to give them full confidence that they can come back to us as needed. Autonomy and connection: That’s secure attachment.
