Lactation consultations are customized to each family's specific challenges. Whether you're struggling with early milk production or learning how to properly introduce a bottle while continuing breastfeeding, our consultations provide personalized strategies and hands-on support to fit your goals and needs.
Understanding the basics of breastfeeding can make a huge difference in a parent's experience. This service educates on key topics such as proper latch techniques, signs of hunger, feeding schedules, and breast care, helping to ensure both comfort and success for both parent and baby
Emotional well-being is just as crucial as physical support. Lactation counselors offer a safe space to discuss frustrations, fears, and uncertainties about breastfeeding. Through compassionate listening and encouragement, counselors help parents build confidence and reduce stress, ensuring they can approach breastfeeding with a positive mindset.
I support ALL parent choices on how to feed your baby; there is no one right way. We can discuss what works best for you; be it breastfeeding, pumping, chest feeding, or bottle feeding. We can discuss different breastfeeding positions, work through issues you may be having, or just discuss what feels right for your family. This can be a very sensitive topic for many parents: there is zero judgement on how you to choose to feed your baby. You are the parent and you know best! I’ve found that with a little bit of coaching, many parents can build the confidence to breastfeed. We will take our time and work through anxieties, concerns, and issues together.
