Andrea Ippolito is the CEO and Founder of SimpliFed, a virtual baby-feeding support platform. She previously was a faculty member at Cornell University, a Presidential Innovation Fellow based out of the White House, and Co-founder of Smart Scheduling (acquired by Athenahealth). She is a Shameless Mom to a 5-year-old, a 2-year-old, and a brand new little one born last month. Her journey through motherhood inspired her mission to provide better feeding support to mothers with newborns and infants.
You know baby feeding is a topic near and dear to my heart, as I struggled so desperately to feed Vinnie in his first 6 months of life. It had a tremendous impact on my mental health and on his physical health. I was so thrilled to meet Andrea and dig into this really important topic.
