Nursing Necessity Kit

About me

Christina Siegel MD

14 years ago I had my first child and I thought breastfeeding would be easy. A long Labor using the same calories as a Marathon left me depleted. Then came the breastfeeding which was the equivalent of the Olympics. I got dehydrated, sore and tired and you have a whole new human to care for. I was not prepared for learning the skill I needed to breastfeed.
After my experience, I asked myself “How can I support new mothers? Mothers who want every advantage from the very beginning.” So I wrote a book and put together a kit for new moms and delivered it to mothers in my birthing center. The key ingredient is a hydration system Nurse-Well. With Nurse-Well I support the WHO global nutrition target of increasing the rate of exclusive breastfeeding.
