When Dr Ngendo Mburu gave birth to her firstborn daughter in 2022, her greatest desire was to breastfeed her baby for more than a year. However, at five months, her breast milk dried out.
"I went back to work four months after delivery, and I was in a very stressful and toxic environment. I was undergoing psychological stress that really caused my milk production to dip. I was not able to keep up with my pumping schedule. I was also struggling to get a good nanny, and at the time, my husband was working out of town, so it was all so overwhelming for me.”
