Cat Halek IBCLC, Infant Feeding Specialist

Cat discovered her love of breastfeeding through her experience of breastfeeding her own child Jax.  She started her professional journey towards becoming an IBCLC, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, at WIC in Pinellas County as a breastfeeding peer counselor in 2011.  There she received mentoring by 3 IBCLCs.  Cat became an IBCLC in 2015.  In 2020 she recertified for another 5 years.  Her goal is to provide every family with custom real world advice that applies to each family's infant feeding goals.  More than just the breast means that parents should get support in feeding their baby in all methods not just breastfeeding.  Even breastfeeding is about more than just the breast.
