Welcome to Casillas Lactation Care

My name is Victoria Casillas, I am an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and a mother of 4 children who were breastfed. I am grateful to be providing comprehensive, evidence-based lactation support and education to families in Western Nebraska since 2009. The IBCLC credentials are the highest standard for lactation and breastfeeding care with evidence-based practices used by healthcare professionals and are accredited by the International Board Certified Lactation Examiners (IBCLE), which is the only accreditation for lactation consultants. Other health care professionals have knowledge about the benefits of breastfeeding, but only lactation consultants are specialists in lactation, the mother-baby breastfeeding dyad, and the protection of breast milk. As specialist, lactation consultants complete the rigorous training and fulfillments of the IBCLE’s requirement to become experts in the lactation field.

Pregnancy is an excellent time to discover all about the mother-baby dyad breastfeeding relationship and for dads and support members to be able to gain knowledge on how best to support the new mom and baby! This short time can provide moms and everyone who will enjoy the new baby helpful skills and knowledge about how to understand baby’s cues and prepare for a successful breastfeeding experience.

Mothers who have already delivered and are experiencing breastfeeding concerns, questions, or wanting more understanding about their newborn’s behaviors or cues or about baby care can receive a personalized home visit for expertise, guidance, and support to help achieve personal breastfeeding goals and education. As babies grow and new experiences arise, I can continue to provide support and guidance for the duration of breastfeeding.
