Megan Foster, IBCLC

Lactation Consultant (IBCLC)

Megan Foster is an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) who supports families with latch, positioning, milk supply, pumping, and the everyday problems of feeding a baby. She reviews the lactation and feeding content on Breastfeedo for accuracy, checking that explanations of how breastfeeding works, how to solve common problems, and how to express and store milk reflect current evidence and guidance from bodies such as the World Health Organization, UNICEF, and the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine.

Her review confirms that articles are factually accurate and clearly explained. It is not personal clinical advice: nothing on this site replaces an assessment of your own situation by a midwife, health visitor, lactation consultant, or doctor.
