Breastfeeding Support
Breastfeeding: it's one of those areas where new parents might have their own hopes and goals, but not enough support, information, & encouragement to achieve them. I'm here to help! These are some services that DO increase breastfeeding success:
-
Prenatal education - know what to expect to breastfeed your baby
-
Evidence-based information - to help you sort through the myths & bad advice
-
On-call lactation support - in hospital, or once you're home, as needed
-
Help with Baby's latch & positioning
-
Learn the reassuring signs that your baby is getting enough
-
How to avoid common obstacles, like soreness, nipple confusion, mastitis, & low supply
-
Learn all about pumping: when/if it's needed, when/if to introduce bottles, & how to manage your return to work
-
& more!

Breastfeeding support is offered along with labor support and postpartum care services. You may also schedule a private breastfeeding class, or consultation as needed prenatally or after your baby is here!
