When her first baby was born, Alba Lucia was determined to breastfeed him despite the many difficulties she faced after his birth.

This experience led her to appreciate a lactation support person's love, compassion, and knowledge. This inspired her to become a leader and advocate for breastfeeding mothers and their babies.
