Roberta Cervantes BSN, RN, IBCLC

I have worked as a BSN, RN in the area of mother/baby providing direct nursing care and breastfeeding support for over  25 years.  I have been an RN, IBCLC in a busy hospital setting for the last 10 years and have been providing private in-home visits for the last 8 years. 

To keep my knowledge current, I regularly attend conferences and workshops so I can continue to provide evidenced based care.  

 My passion for breastfeeding came with the infant feeding portion of my nursing program.  Coming from an exclusively bottle feeding family, I was fascinated with the perfect nutrition and bonding process that breastfeeding provided. 

Even before I had my own children, I worked tirelessly to help my patients achieve breastfeeding success during a time when all babies were bottle fed in the hospital (very frustrating at times).  I then had my children with the thought breastfeeding would be easy since I knew so much about it.  However, breastfeeding was far from easy for me.  I was unable to achieve my long term breastfeeding goals as I was unable to access the appropriate help I needed to overcome my problems.  This was very painful for me and my children.  It was then that I dedicated myself to increasing my knowledge and skill in the field of human lactation.  My goal is to help other moms and babies avoid or fix  the same problems & pitfalls and have a great breastfeeding relationship.  

I have helped hundreds, if not thousands, of families achieve breastfeeding success over the span of my career.  I can help you achieve your breastfeeding goals!
