Breastfeeding support provided by an
International Board Certified Lactation 
Consultant

A one-on-one session is for you if there is a specific concern, challenge or question that is creating a barrier to your breastfeeding journey being a positive experience. 
​

Are you finding latching to be difficult or painful?
Are you finding positioning to be challenging? 
Do your nipples hurt?
Are they blistered or bleeding?
Is your baby seemingly frustrated at the breast?
Are you worried you baby is not getting enough milk?
Are you worried your baby is feeding too much or too little?
Are you concerned about low supply? 
Does everything about breastfeeding seem like it is just going wrong? 

This session will provide you clarity about your unique breastfeeding situation and provide tools and strategies to help resolve concerns. During this time I will do a full examination & history of the mother, the baby & breastfeeding. This provides me with the information needed about the factors that can impact breastfeeding so it can all be taken into consideration. 

I assist as needed, provide suggestions to help improve feeding while I observe, provide a summary of my assessment and action a breastfeeding success plan. I make any referrals to others as needed with an explanation of the benefits & objective of the referrals. 

​Within the client portal there will be a written summary of the consultation plus any relevant protocols as handouts or links.
​

All consults take place in your home or via video call. ​
​*Please see further explanation on fee structure and what to expect during a consult.

Just have a "quick question?" I have an offering that might suit that need. 
Quick and dirty by definition is to be expedient and effective but not without flaws or unwanted side effects. The expression refers to completing a task rapidly rather than making it high quality, which goes against my nature. I would rather have a longer session and make sure it is the high quality I strive to provide to clients but honestly, some questions don't need a full consult and some clients would rather a quick get 'er done kinda session, so here it is!! 
The short and simple of it is $2.50/minute starting at 15 minutes...

​​There is no such thing as a "little tongue tie".
A tongue tie is a functional issue. If there is a concern, there is a concern, doesn't matter if it feels big or small. Your concerns with breastfeeding matter!

"Just keep putting the baby to the breast to make more milk." In theory, putting a baby to the breast often to feed increases milk supply. In practice,  there are many babies that ineffectively feed, so milk removal is inadequate resulting in deceased milk supply & insufficient weight gain.  
​

"Babies that are hungry will cry and let you know". Some babies will and some babies won't. This is dependent on a few factors, but primarily, babies who have good intake and good weight gain will. Babies who are struggling with intake, tired and slower to gain weight, often depend on parents to wake them and offer a feed.
