Krystal Duhaney is a Registered Nurse, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, and breastfeeding mommy of two. After having her second child and returning to work, Krystal struggled with her milk supply and realized that there were very few resources for breastfeeding mothers in the same predicament. She knew then that she had to come up with a solution that would help to increase her milk supply.
Using her knowledge as a Registered Nurse and love for baking, Duhaney developed a milk-making cookie recipe and fell in love with the results. These lactation cookies dramatically increased her supply. Soon after, she decided that she could not keep her discovery a secret and had to share this with other mothers who were going through a similar situation. So, in November of 2015, Milky Mama was born.
She then launched the Milky Mama Scholarship Fund , created to increase the diversity and representation in the lactation field by increasing the number of Black IBCLCs. The scholarship fund pays for the certification courses and exam fees for award recipients.
