BABIES ARE SUCH A NICE WAY TO START PEOPLE
Don Harold
Compassionate Care And Expert Guidance
Hello, and welcome to my professional page. I am a highly experienced International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) based in Los Angeles, dedicated to providing expert lactation consultation and support to families in need. With over 15 years of experience in the field, I bring a wealth of knowledge and compassion to every consultation.
In my private practice, I prioritize personalized care, ensuring that each family receives the support and guidance tailored to their unique situation. My expertise encompasses a wide range of lactation challenges and needs, from essential breastfeeding support to complex cases involving NICU graduates and high-risk patients.
As a mother of three teenagers and a first-generation American, I deeply understand the cultural and personal nuances that influence a family’s breastfeeding journey. This insight has been invaluable as a patient advocate and educator, allowing me to connect with and effectively support families from various backgrounds.
My approach is holistic and evidence-based, ensuring that my advice and strategies are rooted in the latest research and best practices in lactation support. Beyond individual consultations, I have been instrumental in facilitating a community breastfeeding support group for over 23 years, offering a space for shared experiences and collective learning.
Thank you for considering my services. I look forward to working with you and your family providing the expert care and support you deserve.
