• Nothing replaces a face-to-face consultation with
a health care provider who has a duty to provide
excellent care in a confidential manner. Nursing all of them through challenges and for various lengths of time has given her insight into real life breastfeeding, not just words and instructions from a how-to manual. Seeing not only the obvious ben
efits of breastfeeding, but also the risks of not breastfeeding she quickly became an advocate on her own, sharing insights and encouragement with other pregnant and breastfeeding moms. Dawn set her sights on becoming an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) in 1998. The first step was becoming an Accredited La Leche League Leader in 2002. She then attended UCLA Extension and received her Lactation Educator Certificate in 2006. While working at Antelope Valley Hospital with the local WIC Program, Dawn took and passed the IBCLC exam in 2009. Dawn now runs her own Lactation Consultant office and has the pleasure of helping moms that reach out to her. Dawn still maintains her ties to La Leche League, volunteers with BreastfeedLA and the Antelope Valley Breastfeeding Coalition.
