Lactation Support
Helping Women and Family’s Feed Their Baby’s Appropriately and Successfully.
What is a Breastfeeding Educator?
Breastfeeding Educators are able to help women and families support breastfeeding, bottle feeding and child nutrition questions and concerns. Consultants help educate patients in how to accurately feed their babies, offering tips during the first feedings. They also help mothers in the transitions of going back to work by teaching them how to maintain milk supplies and even how and when to start solids. These professionals may work with you at community groups, women´s organizations, hospitals, and birthing centers.
