Featured Expert*: Danielle Rigg, CLC of http://www.bestforbabes.org: Danielle, @Bestforbabes_dr, is the Co-Founder & COO of the Best for Babes Foundation (@BestforBabes) and is a mom of two children. Galvanized by her own breastfeeding struggles, Danielle became a certified lactation counselor (CLC) and ran a successful lactation counseling practice and breastfeeding support group in Montclair New Jersey. I call her the “boob whisperer” because of her natural talent in getting babies on to the breast while boosting a mother’s confidence and know-how. Since losing her breasts to cancer, Danielle has been more motivated than ever to help moms breastfeed successfully and reap the long-term health benefits. SHAPE magazine featured her in their November Issue as one of ten “Women Who Shape the World” along with Michelle Obama! *Conversations on twitter are in no way intended to diagnose or treat any medical condition and are not a substitute for an in-person evaluation by a qualified, independent Internationally Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) or your breastfeeding-knowledgeable physician.
