How can I find a qualified lactation educator near me?
Most lactation educators are employed in hospitals or by certain government programs like WIC or the Public Health Works Project. But more importantly for new mothers would be to find a lactation consulant, the person who can actually help her to problem-solve later on. Those people would best be found through your birthing hospital. You'll probably meet with one soon after the baby is born, or you can call the breastfeeding task force in your area and they would know who all of the educators and consultants are.
