Alison Hurd
RN/CLC/IBCLC
Registered Nurse & International Board Certified Lactation Consultant
I started my nursing career in the Mother-Baby unit of a hospital in October of 2013. From there I fell in love with helping my couplets to successfully breastfeed; I fell deeper in love when I was later able to successfully breastfeed my first child. In January of 2017, I started my journey to become an IBCLC and worked in the hospital as lead lactation consultant until April of 2021. After a short break from work life, I jumped at the opportunity to join the team of IBCLC's at Bella Donna.
