Breastfeeding Support Consultants/Center for Lactation Education
Mission Statement
It is the mission of BSC to improve the health of women and infants through education and promotion of breastfeeding to health professionals. BSC believes that breastfeeding success is determined by the goals of the individual mother and the needs of her infant. BSC believes that prevention counseling, whereby the consultant initiates contacts with the mother before problems arise, educates her and supports her successes, is crucial to establishing an environment free of problems for mother and baby. BSC views the mother as a partner in her health care and strives to make her an active participant in all decisions surrounding the breastfeeding relationship, regardless of any predetermined ideas of what might constitute "success." BSC believes that by educating the mother, providing her with sound advice and emotional support, and encouraging her to make her own choices, she will achieve her individual breastfeeding goals.
