KTLC Episode 67 Rosa Sorribas- Spain

Breastfeeding is universal, something that all humans, all mammals have done since the beginning of time.   Lactation as a profession is new and has different norms throughout the world.   Rosa Sorribas is an IBCLC in Barcelona, Spain who focuses not just on supporting new parents with lactation and infant feeding support.  Rosa focuses on training new IBCLC's, encouraging more students to learn about lactation to support more and more families.  In this episode Katie Oshita and Rosa Sorribas discuss teaching, lactation, tongue tie and world views on this and more.

Podcast Guest: Rosa Sorribas is an IBCLC in private practice in Barcelona since 2008. She is a Computer Engineer working on Internet and databases since 1986. In 2002, after her first daughter was born, she and her husband created CrianzaNatural.com, a Spanish portal and forum with information for an attachment parenting style of life. Since then, she's been involved in breastfeeding groups, such as La Leche League and Areola, which she still collaborates with. She offers breastfeeding and babywearing education in Spain, Portugal, Poland, and online. She's been working as doula in home and hospital births. Her website has been the source of dozens of support groups, many breastfeeding conselours and IBCLCs, and has helped hundreds of thousands of families around the world to get their maternity goals.
