About Us
In 1985, Pamela K. Wiggins was one of the first women to become certified as a Lactation Consultant. At the time she was working in a hospital based WIC program in Florida. She saw the need for easy to understand breastfeeding information for parents and began working on the first edition of Why Should I Nurse My Baby?.
Over the years, Pam’s book has helped millions of families. Her business, LA Publishing, is still run by her family and now offers many products to teach parents. We are a woman-owned small business.
