I’m Shelbi. I’m so glad you’re here.

Mother’s Millk was birthed out of the death of my own mother. She went to be with the Lord when I was only 23 years old When I became pregnant at age 27, without my mom here I found myself seeking the Lord for His wisdom on how to be a mother to my baby. As mamas to ever-growing babies, we all need nourishment—physical and spiritual—to keep us strong for our children. I’m sharing my heart here with wisdom that the Lord has whispered to me in motherhood. May we always crave nourishment from the Lord so that we remain strong for our babies.

My hope is that other mothers would glean from the bits of experiences I’ve had in home birth, breastfeeding and bedsharing.

I also love sharing about home textile and bedding brands that use natural materials and focus on sustainability. My background is in product design and marketing in the home and fashion industries so I love discovering new brands and products.
