Bio

Hi! My name is Kristian Billiot, IBCLC (lactation consultant) and proud owner of Northshore Lactation Connections. My passion for helping breastfeeding mothers was born through La Leche League. My local leader and the many friends I made through my La Leche League group, helped me through many breastfeeding challenges, such as relactation and how to parent a colicky infant. I became an accredited La Leche League Leader so that I could help moms and babies the same way I was helped. If it weren't for La Leche League my breastfeeding journey would have ended much sooner. I'm so very thankful I was able to nurse my kiddos until they self weaned.I became an IBCLC so that I could further my education into the clinical side of lactation and help breastfeeding dyads at a deeper level. I feel that my dual roles of IBCLC and La Leche League Leader gives me a unique blend of mom-to-mom support and clinical lactation knowledge. I chose to go into private practice so that I can spend plenty of time with my clients, not be rushed, and have time for thorough follow-up. ‚ÄãThe meaning behind my logo summarizes my mission statement. Each colored circle represents factors that affect breastfeeding outcomes: hospital, maternal, and infant. The yellow shows how these factors overlap, and the white represents the IBCLC who has the knowledge and tools to help remedy those factors to move towards a successful 'lactation connection!' I strive to be a consistent source of information and support for breastfeeding families. My devout husband and I will celebrate 17 years of marriage this year. We have three teenagers who have nick-named me the 'boob master' and keep us on our 'parenting toes.'
