On a personal note, Stefanie is the mother of three previously breastfed children. Her passion for breastfeeding grew from her own struggles and triumphs throughout her breastfeeding journeys, as well as from the time she spent encouraging and educating new families at the bedside.
Stefanie enjoys camping, cooking, flower gardening, podcast, traveling & quality time with family and friends. In her free time, she is an active member of her local church. She resides just north of Memphis with her husband —U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. retired & Purple Heart recipient —their kids & their Westie fur babies.
Milk Medic was founded in 2020 by Shan McLean—a mother, wife, veteran, nurse, & proud "milk whisperer". Shan served honorably in the U.S. Army as a Combat Medic, which inspired the name Milk Medic. Her passion for helping families through their feeding journeys is rooted in both her personal & professional experience.
