San Francisco Lactation Consultant

breastfeeding support

Many women experience difficulty when breastfeeding, particularly during the initial first weeks. With the proper support, education and time most issues can be overcome, and breastfeeding can be a satisfying, healthy experience for mother and baby.

An International Board Certified Lactation Consultant or IBCLC is a health care professional that specializes in the clinical management of breastfeeding.  An IBCLC provides the care and support that every nursing mother deserves–and to help her meet her breastfeeding goals.
