About
Welcome to MilkFace. I’m Jacqulyn Potter, BA, IBCLC, CBS specializing in Tethered Oral Tissues (tongue, lip, and cheek ties) and the specific feeding challenges that come along with them.
You can learn all about my breastfeeding journey here. I began the path to IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant) in March of 2020, and started MilkFace after becoming a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist.
I completed over 500 clinical hours and qualified to sit the IBLCE (International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners) Exam in March 2022. I’ve continued to expand my knowledge through the continuing education seminars listed below.
