Breastfeeding is more than a physical act.
Cultural and societal norms can greatly impact a person's breastfeeding journey. I feel capable and honored to assist ALL families. However, I am a white, cis, female. If you feel you would be better assisted by an IBCLC of a different race or background, you may find the following practices helpful. They all offer virtual consults and can support you no matter where you are located.
