Thank you to Ericka, one of our very own IJB Doulas and local IBCLCs, for joining us as our lunch-and-learn speakers for our Birth Doula training last weekend. Doulas are the first line of defense when it comes to all things feeding for the mother/baby dyad. We are there at birth while all the medical team is charting and doing vitals. We are in the home shortly after delivery for postpartum visits and have an established trusted relationship with the family. We always refer out to IBCLCs but it can take a few days to get seen and sometimes cost is an issue so that’s where we shine. This training helped our Doulas be the immediate support you need to set you up for success for feeing your baby. 
Today we’re celebrating IBCLC Day and the life-changing support IBCLCs provide to feeding families. At Newborn Nook Doula & Lactation Services®, Ericka Moore, IBCLC is proud to help parents feel confident, informed, and supported, one feeding at a time.
