Philline Benson, RN, MSN, IBCLC

I have over 15 years of experience as a Registered Nurse, mostly caring for mother and baby. I tried a different practice of nursing, but I found that my passion is teaching; especially mothers and newborns. So I pursued my Masters degree in Nursing education along with my IBCLC certificate and had practiced as a Lactation Consultant in both inpatient and outpatient setting. I had worked alongside expert Lactation Consultants and we had mentored new and incoming interns that are now great practicing Lactation Consultant themselves. I have vast knowledge in the field of mother and infant and I am always trying to keep up with the new and evolving breastfeeding medicine.

On a more personal note; I myself had experienced both the frustration of not being able to breastfeed. When I had my first child there was not enough lactation support and I didn't know anything about breastfeeding. I attempted to pump and attempted to latch as much (or as little) as I thought was appropriate and next thing I knew my milk dried up. My daughter was in the NICU for a day or two so she was given formula from birth so it was an uphill battle from there. Needless to say, she was formula fed pretty much from the start. With my son, I was armed with knowledge and determination (and luck) so I was able to successfully breastfeed him for 18 months. Just like everyone else, I struggled for the first few weeks; he had weight issues and we had to supplement with both SNS and bottle and I had to pump but it was definitely a wonderful experience!

I hope to share my personal and professional experience with you to reach your feeding goal. Whether it's exclusive breastfeeding or not. I am here to help!
