Picture
My name is Anna Duhon, and I am a registered nurse and IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant) with 8 years experience working with new moms and babies as a postpartum/nursery and a Neonatal ICU nurse.  I was born and raised in Lafayette, Louisiana.  My family and I have spent 9 years away from the Acadiana area, pursuing our careers and and are loving being HOME! I am very excited to bring my knowledge and share my passion back with my beloved community.

I like to tell people my passion for helping moms breastfeed found me.  Although I spent several years teaching new moms how to breastfeed at the bedside, my desire to know and learn more came after breastfeeding my own son and encountering many obstacles. I relied heavily on the support of my husband and the wonderful lactation consultants I was fortunate to have worked with. I often would ask, "What does the average person do when they have breastfeeding struggles?" I had several lactation consultants on speed dial just because of where I worked, and trust me, I called on them often. I thought I knew a lot about breastfeeding at the time I had my son, but I was very wrong.

My own experiences and challenges with breastfeeding sparked a desire in me to learn everything I could about breastfeeding, so that I could help other moms reach their feeding goals. I wanted to be able to be an advocate and support line for the many families I encountered who were going through difficult times or were also very passionate about breast feeding their baby; so here we are! 

I pride myself on being non-judgmental and  pressure-free in helping you reach your feeding goals. Whether that means exclusively breastfeeding, exclusively pumping, bottle feeding, formula feeding, at-the-breast supplementation, or a combination of them.   
Breastfeeding can be a wonderful experience, but also very difficult and stressful at times.  I hope to be a support system you can rely on when you need reassurance or assistance in reaching your feeding goals.
