Luz, A Hug Your Baby Teacher.

I am here to provide expecting parents and whoever else involved in the postpartum care with the necessary knowledge and tools for a gentler transition into parenthood.

In 2004, I began the journey of becoming a breastfeeding instructor. Though midwives at our local birth center taught me everything they knew about lactation, I never stopped researching on my own, updating the classes I was teaching and improving the care of mothers I was supporting at the birth center.

Breastfeeding is my passion. But, all along I felt that something was missing in my classes and counseling interactions, I knew I could give more. Finally, I found what was missing when I learned about HUG Your Baby.

To continue my education in the Maternal-Child Health field, I completed HUG’s two-hour online training in March and then attended the "Breastfeeding on the Border's" all-day workshop in Sunland Park, NM. Jan Tedder, the creator of HUG Your Baby, taught the workshop. One of my favorite moments of the day was the exercise we did to better understand how the same event in a mother’s life can be lived totally differently depending on the mother’s physical, mental, and emotional state. As educators, sometimes we forget that each case is different even when the situation is the same!
