Benefits of a Consultation with Basking Babies
Typically moms need a community of support with them on their breastfeeding journey. Family, friends, and breastfeeding support groups are very important sources of support and encouragement. Lactation consultants or specifically IBCLCs (Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultants) serve a distinct role as the expert on your journey. Read more about the importance of IBCLCs.
An IBCLC is the highest certification that a lactation specialist can receive. If you had a medical concern you would most certainly go to your doctor. An IBCLC is an expert on breastfeeding. They must pass a comprehensive international exam and re-certify every 5 years to insure that they stay up-to-date with current research and information. Part of the scope of practice of an IBCLC is to be “evidence based”- using current information.

I think about you often and I've been thinking about you extra this week as I'm trying to prepare to wean. I've introduced cow's milk but he still prefers the real deal and isn't real impressed with the substitute. My goal was always to nurse him for a year but when he was a week old I never would have dreamed it would be possible to make it that long. At this point we've made it and it looks like he won't be giving it up anytime soon. I am so thankful for your help in those early days. Before being a mom I took breastfeeding for granted and assumed it was something easy enough that anyone who wanted to could do it. I now know I could not have met my breastfeeding goals without the great support that I was blessed to get and I'm so thankful to you.Thanks so much, Angela! I think what you are doing is awesome. I so wished we could have made it to a Basking Babies Buffet this year. I enjoy the pictures and stories from them. Thanks again for everything! Take care!
I can't thank you enough!! You seriously calmed my nerves so much and had such wonderful input and advice!! Thank you so much for your time and expertise!!! Emily and Hazel
Thank you so much for coming out to the house. I had almost two successful weeks of breastfeeding before Lily began to have problems. I had become very frustrated and in tears almost every night after watching my baby choke and scream all day after every feeding. Our breastfeeding session has left my baby with a full belly and a happy mom. Thanks so much! You are truly a blessing to all of new parents! T.W
