Welcome to Breastfeeding Basics
Whether you are eagerly awaiting the arrival of your little one, or are already experiencing the joys and challenges of life with a new baby, you made an important decision when you chose to breastfeed your baby.
As the mother of six wonderful breastfed children, and an IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant) with over twenty years experience in lactation counseling, I can offer not only the very best breastfeeding products on the market, but professional advice and information as well.
You can find more information about my background in breastfeeding here. I look forward to hearing from you.
