The benefits of breastfeeding are enormous for both mother and baby. While breastfeeding is completely natural and normal, it is a learned skill and sometimes takes practice to become proficient. As a Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC), I can troubleshoot problems, encourage mom and baby, and educate the family on the importance of breastfeeding. The most common reasons women stop breastfeeding (or never get started) are the lack of support and a perceived lack of milk supply. I am passionate about helping moms reach their breastfeeding goals because I know how important it is for a baby to have the best food possible. Breastfeeding can literally make a lifelong difference in a person's health.
