Hi, it's Nurse Jerelle
Jerelle Cox (she/her/mama) is a Registered Nurse, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant and Childbirth Educator with over two decades of experience in maternity, infant child health care, labor and delivery, NICU, and pediatrics.
“Having this vast knowledge and experience has prepared me to grow in my lactation expertise, teaching families along with growing their families. I want to see babies have the blessed beginnings that they need to thrive and grow for the future. My passion is to advocate for parents to have a healthy maternal care experience and normalize human milk feeding with parents’ choosing to breast/chest and pump feeding around the globe. I also mentor future lactation consultants to assist mothers in their lactation journey and obtain the required hours of observed lactation consultants in order to sit for the boards.”
