Led by Founder Kellye Skaer, IBCLC
At Milk & Mom, I want every parent to have the support and education they need to have a happy, healthy feeding relationship with their infant. I love empowering moms in every stage and every circumstance to embrace mothering with deep joy and confidence.
Kellye Skaer, IBCLC

Kellye looks at the mother-baby dyad holistically. She understands how birth trauma and/or difficulty breastfeeding can affect a mother. Kellye leaves space for listening and healing in her practice. While there are many different sources of healing, her personal source for healing is Jesus. When desired and initiated by the patient, Kellye is happy to pray with moms & babies and hold up hope for moms who are in a difficult place.
Kellye loves pouring into the community. She is available to speak/teach at events, birth classes, mom’s groups, large and small group gatherings! To request her, you can send an email to Kellye@milkandmom.com
Kellye and her husband Jason have 7 amazing-growing-eating-all-the-things kiddos and one bouncy dog named Finny. They have a ridiculous amount of fun, books, food, sports, snuggles and love. Kellye loves rainy days, rocking chairs, good books & hot tea, especially all together.
