Breastfeeding / Lactation Consult
Andrea Vance is an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) with a deep passion for supporting families throughout their feeding journey. A North Carolina native, she holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Maternal Child Health and Human Lactation, a foundation that shaped her expertise and inspired her path to becoming an IBCLC.
Married and a mom of three, she loves capturing memories with her camera, exploring the outdoors with her family, and traveling around the world to experience new places and cultures. Andrea understands both professionally and personally how pivotal this chapter of parenthood can be. Through her role with Cary/Fuquay/Apex Pediatrics, she provides evidence based lactation care tailored to the unique needs of each family. Her approach blends clinical knowledge with heartfelt support, making space for both the “science” and the “soul” of early parenthood.
With a strong background in maternal and infant nutrition, infant kinesiology and bodywork, and a specialization in perinatal disorders (PPD), Andrea is dedicated to helping families navigate feeding and parenthood with confidence, comfort, and understanding.
Feeding your baby is more than a task — it’s a bond, a journey, and a chapter worth nurturing. You’re not alone, and Andrea is here to walk beside you every step of the way!
