My name is Belinda Vallecoccia
I am a wife, a mom of two girls, a nurse, a lactation consultant and a certified child birth educator.
When I was pregnant with my first child, I was a labour & delivery nurse, I assumed I did not need prenatal education. I quickly learned that this was not the case. I knew very little on what to expect after the delivery of my first baby girl.
As a nurse for 17 years, I have worked at various hospitals ranging from Sick Kids, North York General Hospital and Halton Healthcare. I started out in Labour & Delivery at North York General and fell in love with the child birthing world. After having children of my own, I wanted to work closer to home. That is when I joined Halton Healthcare which then introduced Postpartum care into my Maternal Child nursing world.
Realizing that parents need more support once home with their new baby, I then went on to receive my International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and CAPPA Childbirth Education (CCCE) certifications and now opened Bump to Baby Family Services.
My goal, as an RN and LC in private practice, is to partner with parents in achieving their personal parenting and feeding goals.
