Meet Our Lactation Consultants!

Meet Caitlin!

Caitlin Black Allen, Board Certified Lactation Consultant

I am a fun-loving mother to three little boys and two amazing step-children. The birth of my first son, impacted my life greatly. While he stayed apart from me, in intensive care, the only way I could be a mother to him, was to breastfeed him. Our breastfeeding relationship continued to grow and we breastfed for over two years. It was during this time, that I realized how much of an impact breastfeeding has on both baby and mother and how I wanted to help mothers with their breastfeeding goals. After completing my lactation education, I left my teaching profession to work with mothers and babies. I am a compassionate Lactation Consultant looking to help parents with their infant feeding goals and to foster their own paths with their newborns.
