Virtual Lactation Support: In House Care, Online

<span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 10pt;">The Breastfeeding Resource Center, also known as the BRC by its trained IBCLC staff and volunteers, provides mamas with lactation classes, support, and resources. Until now, the BRC has focused in their home of Eastern Pennsylvania. Rather than limit their services as a result of the pandemic, the BRC, led by Colette Acker, has expanded its offering to virtually support moms anywhere. Colette is the executive director and co-founder of this non-profit which started in 2003. Colette began her journey in lactation back in 1998 as an IBCLC. </span> <p><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt;">What we covered:</span></strong></p> <ul> <li><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 10pt;">How Colette started her journey in the lactation industry.</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 10pt;">The trend that helped the lactation community the most. </span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 10pt;">How mothers became interested in breastfeeding after years of focusing on formula. </span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 10pt;">Baby-Friendly Hospital initiative.</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 10pt;">Lactation professional feedback on exclusive pumping. </span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 10pt;">How the pandemic has impacted the needs of breastfeeding moms.</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 10pt;">Advice for women who are on the fence about calling an IBCLC.</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 10pt;">The donor milk process.</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 10pt;">Words of wisdom for the mom preparing for her breastfeeding journey. </span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><a href= "https://www.breastfeedingresourcecenter.org"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">BRC Website</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;"> </span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><a href= "https://www.facebook.c
