Scotty Thomson - Lactation Consultant

About Scotty

Scotty has over 28 years of experience in maternal-child nursing and has been a certified lactation consultant since 1998. In 2015, she reorganized the lactation services at Thomas Hospital (Fairhope, AL) and built a new program to more effectively serve breastfeeding mothers. She led a weekly Baby Cafe breastfeeding support group for 3 years that grew from 5-6 women a week to 18-25 a week. She resigned from Labor and Delivery at USACW (Mobile, AL) in February 2023 to work full time with Gulf Coast Lactation helping women out of the hospital setting.. She has been instrumental in creating a supportive environment for all mothers. Scotty continues to support women as they journey into motherhood. She is a member of ILCA (International Lactation Consultants Association) and the Alabama Breastfeeding Committee. She is passionate about holistic care in the maternal-child setting. She believes that all moms deserve a more holistic approach to continued support after leaving the hospital so they can be successful in their breastfeeding journey.
