About Dalaney

Hello! My name is Dalaney Young. I am an Internatiomnal Board Cerified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). My goal is to help moms meet their breastfeeding goals whether the goal is for 3 weeks, 3 months or 3 years, breastfeeding is a journey and I am happy to help you tackle any bumps along the way! I believe that parenting is not a cookie cutter one size fits all endeavor, it requires thinking outside of the box and realizing what works best for you. While you may hear and read things that work for some, it may not always work for you and your family. Allow me to help develop a tailored solution for you! As a mother of five I can relate to the ups and downs of breastfeeding and parenting, every baby is unique which makes every dyad relationship different. I look forward to sharing my knowledge and education to make a plan that is right for you! I have a Bachelor's degree in Maternal and Child Health with a focus on Human Milk and Lactation Consulting. Thanks to my education and hands-on clinical experience, I was able to sit for the board exam and become an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). I’ve also served as the Co-Chair of the Virginia Breastfeeding Coalition, which has been a rewarding way to give back to the profession I’m passionate about. In addition to my IBCLC certification, I hold a Basic Life Support (BLS) CPR certification, along with an infant-specific add-on certification. I’ve also completed an IBCLC Master Class focused on oral habilitation for breastfeeding, which includes in-depth training in tethered oral tissues (TOTs). For over 10 years, I’ve had the privilege of helping thousands of mamas and babies navigate breastfeeding challenges. I truly love working with families to help them feel confident in their feeding choices so they can enjoy every day with their little ones!

A must have for new parents!! Dalaney was so knowledgeable and alleviated my fears after thrusting myself into breastfeeding. Highly recommend if you are nursing or pumping!

Dalaney was a huge help for me while navigating the not easy journey of breastfeeding. Not only was she compassionate for both me and my baby, but she was able to identify issues and offer practical solutions for each one of them. It was easy to schedule home visits with her and she is super responsive to my questions. Really appreciate her expertise and advice.

Dalaney is an incredible lactation specialist! She is professional, very knowledgeable and a joy to be around. I am so thankful for her guidance as I was struggling breastfeeding my second, after experiencing many challenges with my first. She provided me with helpful resources, continually encouraged me and helped me to understand what was possible for my feeding journey. We worked together with me to create a feeding plan that worked best for me and my family. I couldn’t be happier with the results and I have absolutely loved working alongside Dalaney!
