Today I am speaking with Debra Page - grandmother, mother, lactation consultant - and host of the Inspiredmom.com Summit, available this July 2021. As a registered nurse and board-certified lactation consultant, Debbie Page has spent the last forty years working with moms and babies in hospital maternity units, doctors’ offices, visiting nurse associations, and her private practice - all while also raising her own kids and mentoring new and aspiring lactation consultants. Today she is here with us!
