Becoming a lactation consultant is a second career for me. I worked as a Scientist in an environmental laboratory for the State for 10 years before I took a leap of faith into a new career. Once I learned how many people do not give breastfeeding a chance or stop their journey prematurely with misinformation being the root cause, I knew I had to be the change! have two girls, 3 and 6 years old. I did not have a role model or guidance from friends, family or a professional with both my girls. I guessed my way through my breastfeeding journey. No one should have to guess which way is up when trying to feed your baby whether it is exclusive breast milk or a combo of breast milk and formula. Everyone has access to breastfeeding support! I hope that you consider using my expertise to guide you through your breastfeeding journey.
