Hello-



My name is Anne Smith, BA, IBCLC, RLC.


I  have six wonderful kids, all breastfed, and I have  worked with nursing mothers over 30 years. I have an informational/educational website, www.breastfeedingbasics.com.


I was certified as a LLL Leader in 1978, and became an IBCLC in 1990.


For many years, I was a an active LLL Leader; I maintained a private practice and a pump rental station (over 200 pumps at one time);  conducted AHEC workshops, developed and implemented a lactation education program for medical students and interns at WFU medical center and Brenner's Children's Hospital in Winston-Salem, NC; trained and supervised a peer counselor program at a local Health Depart; had articles published in Kelly.mom, breastfeeding.com, obgyn.net, and many more. 


After an injury in 2005 and major surgery in 2006 with ensuing complications, I "retired" from the lactation business for several years. 


Now that I'm good as new ( except for  a new hip that sets off metal detectors in airports), I am excited about getting back into the swing of things in the lactation community.


Currently, I am in the process of  re-vamping my website, and plan to focus on writing more educational articles and developing a newsletter. I am looking forward to sharing with and learning from other breastfeeding advocates and professionals. 


I missed you guys and I'm glad to be back!
