As a newly certified IBCLC I am so fortunate to add HUG strategies to my professional tool box to help parents interpret their baby’s cues, fostering a sense of confidence that is crucial during the early days and weeks. It’s amazing to witness the shift in parents from feeling overwhelmed by their baby’s cries to feeling empowered as they learn to respond effectively. This change not only strengthens the parent-child bond but also reinforces the foundational skills needed for successful breastfeeding and infant care.
The insights gained from the HUG Your Baby course extend beyond the immediate interactions with infants. They provide a "Roadmap to Breastfeeding Success," empowering parents to navigate challenges with clarity and reassurance. The knowledge that comes from understanding developmental milestones and behaviors is invaluable in reducing anxiety and enhancing parental confidence when breastfeeding in hopes to extend the duration of breastfeeding outcomes.
I am looking forward to better serving families and educating them on their baby’s needs. It’s a privilege to celebrate how this program fosters understanding, connection, and success in parenting. I am forever grateful for this opportunity!
