Hi my name is Joanna!
I am a South Florida native, daughter of Ecuadorian immigrant parents, wife to an incredible man, mama to a strong willed daughter who loves all things pink, a fiery threenager with the best laugh, and the happiest little rascal who keeps me on my toes. I come from a family with very humble beginnings and relentless work ethic, that I am incredibly proud of.
Everything changed the moment we found out we were expecting. I always think of the book "The Giving Tree," by Shel Silverstein when trying to illustrate a mother's selflessness. We give every ounce of ourselves to our babies, and as beautiful as that is, it can undoubtedly be hard at times. Learning to breastfeed was the biggest challenge for me when I had my eldest, Sophia. We were both new at it and let's just say, we both shed a lot of tears. Not only would I have loved a Mumzees box back then, I needed one! Three breastfed babies later (still breastfeeding my third) has taught me that each baby is different and requires you to go through a learning curve unique to them, so with each new baby in our lives, my Mumzees box and cookies were right by my side!

Mumzees is not just a brand, but a mission to put the breastfeeding mother, at the forefront of the postpartum, newborn stage and beyond. This mission was inspired in huge part by my sister’s story and passing, so you will see her heart and even her name, all around here!

Wherever you are in your breastfeeding journey, I hope opening a Mumzees box feels like a big warm hug and puts a smile on your face. I've been there too, and I've got your back Mumzee.
