S6:E52 - Amey Fields: Breastfeeding Is Not Just About the Latch

My guest today is Amey Fields, an Internationally Board-Certified Lactation Consultant and labor and delivery nurse with over 20 years of experience helping moms and babies with breastfeeding.

She started working as a labor and delivery nurse in 1998 and in 2010, was given the opportunity to run the community education department at the hospital she was working at. She became Lamaze certified and began teaching childbirth and newborn care classes to expectant parents. In addition to working as a labor nurse in the hospital setting, she has also assisted with home births and spent two years working at a free-standing birth center. In 2011 she started a postpartum support group called Circle of Mothers.
