As a Lactation Educator Counselor, CLEC, I am a professional breastfeeding specialist who is trained to help mothers with various issues concerning human lactation and breastfeeding. I help mothers and babies having difficulties with latching, nursing, and baby's weight. My role as a counselor is to educate the mother about the fundamentals of lactation.
