June Referral Partner Spotlight
Bonnie H. Logsdon, RD, LD, IBCLC, CLE
of Bonnie Knows Breast
Bonnie Logsdon (she/her) is a Registered Dietitian (RD), International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), Certified Lactation Educator™ (CLE©) through CAPPA and a DONA trained birth doula with over eighteen years of experience in practice.
Why I recommend Bonnie Knows Breast: I refer clients to lactation consultants usually during Postpartum Massage sessions. Postpartum massage focuses on healing from pregnancy, labor, and birth, but also focuses on relieving tension caused by the repetitive motions, and static holding involved in learning new skills and taking care of an infant. It is common to have upper back and neck pain when chest/breastfeeding, but it's important to take care of yourself. I notice a difference in upper body tension and pain in my clients who seek care from Lactation Consultants!
I refer clients to Bonnie Knows Breast because Bonnie is an expert in her field, and because her support services are diverse, including (but not limited to) prenatal consults, chest/breastfeeding consults, and nutrition consults. Bonnie is also building community through her Afterglow New Parent and Partner support groups, which have meetings weekly and monthly, respectively.
Her support, language, and services are also all deliberately inclusive. She is even a member of OutCare, which means that Bonnie Knows Breast is committed to prioritizing a standard of care that is inclusive, compassionate, and affirming for families of all structures and identities.
