Posted @withregram • @haltonhealthcare Nicole is a Registered Practical Nurse and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant in the Breastfeeding Clinic at Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital.
⠀
Her favourite part about working in the clinic is being able to help families feel confident when feeding and caring for their babies. She loves spending time with families and preparing them for their parenting journey.
⠀
Nicole’s best piece of advice for new moms is to set a goal and spend time learning about breastfeeding. Educating yourself as much as possible allows you to create a plan and reach your breastfeeding goals quicker. #WBW2020 #WorldBreastfeedingWeek

All women/parents have the right to be supported by society to breastfeed optimally. Support can come from families, communities, health systems and workplaces.

Breastfeeding counselling is a type of support delivered to women/parents and infants, and when breastfeeding counselling is available/accessible, the duration and exclusivity of #breastfeeding is increased!
