Lo Nigrosh lives in Athol, Ma in a log cabin on 5 acres with her husband Max, 2 children, 1 dog and 2 cats. From competing in the 2004 Paralympic Games in Sitting Volleyball as a disabled athlete, to the 10 years she spent as a bilingual educator fighting for equitable educational experiences for her students, Lo has brought a combination of fierceness and empathy to all of her endeavors. It was her own intense struggle to breastfeed her oldest that led her to birth and lactation work,  but it was listening to the struggles of so many others that has kept her here.

As an IBCLC she focuses on helping each client feel proud of every ounce they make, and to recognize each hurdle they unfairly faced. The Milk Making Minutes Podcast explores baby feeding struggles and triumphs through the lens of systemic and cultural failures so that every listener understands that their bodies did not fail and their successes really were the miracles they felt them to be. 

Studies show that getting good support in the prenatal period, during birth and in the postpartum period can make all the difference to feeling successful when feeding human milk to your baby. Whether your goal is to play it by ear, to feed human milk until you go back to work or to feed until your baby is five, Lo’s goal is to help you overcome all the systemic barriers you are up against and to ease any anxieties you might face while feeding your baby.
