A Lactation consultant is an IBCLC credentialed person equipped to do advanced breastfeeding teaching and assessments. They are prepared to give knowledgeable and practical help for both a mother and a baby. The IBCLC credential means that your consultant has the highest possible level of didactic and clinical training in the lactation field, and has passed a rigorous international test to prove that they know their stuff. Mary and Marisa are well prepared to help with a wide spectrum of breastfeeding issues, from NICU grads to 1 year olds, and from pregnancy to weaning and all the issues in the midst.
