Yesterday was IBCLC Day, and we want to take a moment to recognize the incredible work of International Board Certified Lactation Consultants!

We’re proud that several of our Stony Brook Midwives are IBCLCs, offering expert and compassionate support to families through their breastfeeding journeys.

Pictured here are Joan and Frances, two of the wonderful midwives on our team who hold this certification. 🤍

✨ Meet the Midwives: Spotlight Series ✨
This week we’re shining a light on Goldie McBride, a steady, guiding presence and nurturing spirit. Read below to learn more about her 🤍

👩🏻‍⚕️ How long have you been a midwife?
I’ve been a midwife at Stony Brook since 2007!

⭐️ What inspired you to become a midwife?
I was inspired after receiving care from midwives myself. I wanted to support women through their journeys in life, helping them achieve breastfeeding success and care for their babies with confidence.

⛱️ What’s your favorite season on Long Island?
I do love warm Beach days, but I love the fall with cozy nights by the fire.  

🦃 What’s your favorite holiday and why?
Thanksgiving, because it’s all about family togetherness.

🧘🏽‍♀️What do you enjoy doing on your days off?
Exercising, taking long walks, soaking up the sun, and relaxing in the hot tub.

📺 What are some of your favorite movies or tv shows?
I grew up loving sci-fi: Star Wars, Star Trek, Wonder Woman, and The Bionic Woman were favorites. My favorite book series is Outlander and the TV show is almost as good as the books.

💕What role do you cherish most outside of midwifery?
Being a mother, and now, a grandmother to my two grandsons.
