Campbell practiced neonatology and cared for premature babies in need in Middle Tennessee for 30 years. She is a doctor and lactation consultant as well as a fellow of both the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine.
"Most people know that mothers' milk is best for babies, but they may not be aware that for tiny babies it can be a medical necessity and lifesaving. Mothers whose babies arrive prematurely are often not able to provide milk for them. Fragile infants whose mothers are unable to breastfeed depend on milk donations from healthy lactating people,” said Campbell. “MMBTN is thrilled to partner with Dr. Colson to provide this quality learning opportunity.”
