Help Support the Growth of Future Lactation Professionals

As they say, pictures say a thousand words, and the knowledge that can be gained through real life visuals plays an invaluable role in the development of our profession. Over our career, the more we experience, the better equipped we become and identifying situations and taking the most effective next steps.

It can be a challenge to obtain images for educational purposes, and that’s why we need your help to grow our library of visuals and best support you and the passionate profession we hold dear in our hearts!

Do you have visuals that you've taken or have consent from the subjects to share? Are you working with clients that would be open to sharing photos? We would love to hear from you!
