Lactation Consultants
"For me, being a lactation consultant is like breathing. I can't imagine my life without it. And being present for parents and babies, helping them to know each other and nurse comfortably, feels like exactly where I'm supposed to be."
"It is truly a privilege to be able to work with parents and their babies during this special and critical time in their lives. Hands down, helping families with the essential act of feeding and eating is the most gratifying work I have ever done."
