My name is Claudia Batista Santos and I am an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). I obtained my degree in Dietetics from Lehman College. I also have a Masters in Healthcare Administration. I work as a Breastfeeding Coordinator in a NYC WIC Program. I have completed a wide variety of ongoing provider education and advancement in caring for the breastfeeding/chestfeeding dyad and can speak Spanish fluently. I am very passionate about all things moms and babies, but education about breastfeeding/chestfeeding is my love. I’ve lived in NYC since I moved to the USA from the Dominican Republic when I was 14 years old. When I’m not helping families with lactation, you can find me traveling to different countries and discovering new flavors. I look forward to meeting you and your growing family
