Agent Rose
Hello everyone,
By way of introduction, I’m Rose and Michael approached me in regards to sharing my journey with you all via periodic post updates. My goal is to make this more of a living blog with a vibrant conversation. Let’s co-create content by you asking questions as well as leaving comments.
Of course, a journey needs a starting point. Mine started in 2019 and I have loads of catching up to do to bring you to my current timeline. So without further ado, I begin.

Thanks Rose for sharing your journey. Wish I could be your ANR partner to help you and enjoy the experience with you. I am sure I am not the only one!
Very informative….thanks for posting
Aaaaaaand Rose’s inbox just blew up!!! 💣 💥
I hope so 😁😁😁
wow, Thanks for Sharing Rose🥰
I know you mean well Suzie and just trying to help your friend, but really? I am sure she does not need help from anyone to find a partner. It is an unintended insult actually.
I honestly didn’t mean it to be insulting in any way, shape or form….. I’m honestly extremely gutted if that’s how my comment has been interpreted 😞 if Rose wants the comment deleted then I totally understand. I 100% wouldn’t wish Rose any upset in the slightest.
Nawwww Suzie, you’re such a beautiful, supportive woman! Fingers crossed you can find Rose her perfect match!!! 🥰😘😘
Thanks Kazzie 😘😘😘😘
I love this moniker. Almost like the little engine that could.
Thanks for sharing, and all the hard work you put in so far.
Good luck finding a right partner. You have come so far in this journey alone. It is not finding a just suckler, but a partner who can support and be there with you on every steps of this journey. That person will be lucky to have you as partner.
Thank you all for the support. It takes a village to pull through to the other side.
Special shout out to Suzie and Kazzie! Thank you for your tremendous support! Always adding fun and making the chats lively.
Group hug!
Nnnaaawwww you suck!! 😂
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
It gives me inspiration cause I am armed with a pump and 2 weeks in and having some drops myself I love the feeling of milk making and pumping don’t bother me just wish my husband was more in to it.
You go, Tracey! How are you doing now? Perhaps if “you build it, he will come”.
Great read hopefully you can get Wilson 2.0 soon
Thanks, Joe. Wilson was replaced with “Crusher” and “Willow”. 🙂
Thanks for sharing your lactation journey. I couldn’t put my finger on what was missing from this site and I cant wait to glean more further into your journey.
This information is great for everyone to have an understanding of induction is a full time job that requires commitment and perseverance. Those who are inducing stay the course and partners be supportive.
Again thanks for sharing, I love hearing others stories.
Thank you, Bella!
Thank you, Dennis. I can’t believe I missed your comment.
Thank you, Jesse.
