Tired of surfing the net, looking for answers to your breastfeeding questions - only to find hokey answers from anyone with a keyboard?
There is nothing more frustrating than trying to find credible and accessible advice online.
My name is Liz Pevytoe, RN, IBCLC and I am the lactation consultant behind askthelactationconsultant.com and I am here to help.
Because I am a mother of two breastfed daughters first and foremost. I am also a registered nurse and a board certified lactation consultant. I have personal and professional experience that I believe will prove valuable to you. You can learn more about me by going to the about me page.
You will find my advice to be no nonsense, maybe even a little blunt. My momma taught me not to beat around the bush.
So lets get started. Simply follow the buttons on the navigation bar to your left on the topic you are interested in and you will find the answers to your questions. Or submit a question to me through the ask me a question page.
Let me help you make this a beautiful experience .
