About the Speaker 

I'm Darla Staten. I'm a wife, mom, nurse and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). My husband and I have been married for over 11 years, have two amazing daughters and a cuddly pug. I have a huge passion for NICU breastfeeding. I love to support families and infants to meet their feeding goals. I have been working with moms and babies for 14 years. I'm so excited to be a part of The Pediatric Source and can't wait to share information and gain more knowledge from the amazing team around me.
Since I started working in the NICU our percentage of infants being discharged receiving maternal milk at discharge increased to the highest it has ever been! I even have mothers who have called to follow up that they are still breastfeeding. It's amazing when a former 28 week infant is still breastfeeding at 2 years!
