Dalaney Young BS MCH, IBCLC

Owner

Hello, and welcome to Newday Lactation services! My philosophy is that the relationship between mother and baby is truly unique, filled with ups, downs and everything in between. My goal is to help moms meet their breastfeeding goals whether the goal is for 3 weeks, 3 months or 3 years, breastfeeding is a journey and I am happy to help you tackle any bumps along the way! I believe that parenting is not a cookie cutter one size fits all endeavor, it requires thinking outside of the box and realizing what works best for you. While you may hear and read things that work for some, it may not always work for you and your family. Allow me to help develop a tailored solution for you! As a mother of five I can relate to the ups and downs of breastfeeding and parenting, every baby is unique which makes every dyad relationship different. I look forward to sharing my knowledge and education to make a plan that is right for you!

I have a Bachelor's degree in Maternal and Child Health with a focus on Human Milk and Lactation Consulting. Thanks to my education and hands-on clinical experience, I was able to sit for the board exam and become an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). I’ve also served as the Co-Chair of the Virginia Breastfeeding Coalition, which has been a rewarding way to give back to the profession I’m passionate about.

In addition to my IBCLC certification, I hold a Basic Life Support (BLS) CPR certification, along with an infant-specific add-on certification. I’ve also completed an IBCLC Master Class focused on oral habilitation for breastfeeding, which includes in-depth training in tethered oral tissues (TOTs). For over 10 years, I’ve had the privilege of helping thousands of mamas and babies navigate breastfeeding challenges. I truly love working with families to help them feel confident in their feeding choices so they can enjoy every day with their little ones!
