Empowering Parents with Integrative Breastfeeding Education
Limited-Time OfferWhile it seems that most people understand that breastfeeding is important, they don’t realize the need for education on the subject. With the average hospital stay of only 24-48 hours, most mom’s are already home before their milk even comes in. Left to navigate the most difficult part of their breastfeeding journey on their own, many moms begin to doubt themselves and question their supply. We teach parents how to recognize the signs of milk transfer “Golden Reassurance”. This along with education on how newborn behavior is influenced by breastfeeding is how we set families up for success.
Taught by a seasoned nurse with two decades of hands-on experience.
Designed for real-life challenges — from latch issues to returning to work.
Holistic and practical, covering emotional, physical, and lifestyle aspects of breastfeeding.
Parents — from pregnancy through weaning, whether it’s your first baby or you’re adding to the family.
Professionals — doulas, midwives, lactation consultants, pediatricians, and other support providers looking to give clients a trusted educational resource.

Summer Baker, Integrative Breastfeeding Educator instructor for the International Parenting & Health Institute, is a Registered Nurse and a Breastfeeding Educator. Her passion is empowering women with easy to comprehend education about how their bodies function during pregnancy, birth, and beyond. With over 20 years of inpatient L&D and NICU experience, she is able to put together all pieces of the puzzle and present the information in a way that families can process and use. Through extensive experience in both the hospital and community setting, she has developed a very effective way of communicating the basic concepts of breastfeeding and is a Daisy Award recipient for this very talent. She looks forward to passing on a wealth of breastfeeding knowledge with you, her secrets and working together to get the word out to positively transform the lives of women as they transition toward motherhood.
“My wife and I are first time parents and our son was admitted to the NICU twelve hours after he was born. We were completely terrified. All of the nurses did an amazing job, but Summer really stood out. We were lucky to have her assigned to us for four straight day shifts. Her optimism, enthusiasm, and encouragement helped carry us through tough diagnoses, struggles with breastfeeding, and general exhaustion. The first time my wife pumped over an ounce of milk we were excited, but couldn’t wait to show Summer. I know that’s silly, but we really felt like Summer was in this with us the whole way and that brought us so much comfort. We felt very lucky to have such good care and nurses the whole time we were here. Everyone has been great and as long as we are in New Orleans our babies will be born at Touro.”
