Meet Avery. The voice behind Nourished Young.

Hi there! I’m an IBCLC and educator with over twenty-five years of experience supporting families.

I built this space to share the kind of guidance I wish I had as a new parent—answers grounded in real-world experience, not guesswork. The kind that reflect real babies, real bodies, and the real challenges that don’t always fit the textbook. 

Because when you understand why something is happening, it’s so much easier to feel confident about what to do next.
