Personalized Lactation Services

 My lactation consultations will be much more than simple advice on nursing as we will dive into your unique mother-baby journey.  Whether you are dealing with high-risk complications or seeking pain-free breastfeeding, my expertise will guide you and I will create a safe plan moving forward.  I will evaluate and address all feeding concerns, while ensuring your baby thrives, and your feeding goals are being met and addressed.

 Transitioning to motherhood is a special time filled with joy, but can  also bring many challenges such as lack of sleep, changes in hormones,  and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. My services do not stop with  determining just a plan for infant feeding. Mothers receive a  comprehensive postpartum assessment, including a supportive plan and  referrals to ensure proper management, treatment and holistic care. 

 Babies that eat well typically sleep well and babies that sleep well typically eat well is an understatement. If only it was just that easy.  How about this, parents need sleep too! I provide consultation services  as early as possible to help establish sleep routines that benefit the whole family. This ensures both parents and babies can enjoy “protected  sleep” and more peaceful nights. Families thrive when everyone receives proper nutrition and sleep!

 From the first latch to infant-led weaning and transitioning to pureed, solid foods and drinking from a cup, Latch With Love is here to support each step. Education, support and resources will be provided so you can navigate these exciting stages safely, stress free and more confidently.  Meal time should be a time for bonding and socializing with each other as a family. 

Consultations will address nipple and breast discomfort, proper latch techniques and breastmilk transfer issues, milk supply management, pumping strategies, proper flange sizing, and much more. Whatever your feeding plans are, they will  be discussed and managed in a nonjudgemental way as I am dedicated to assisting you in meeting and exceeding your goals. 

 Over the years I have learned the importance of families receiving  proper education, however you can never truly prepare for this amazing yet often overwhelming experience. It is a journey and it takes a lot of time, patience and grace. It is recommended to include trusted family, friends, community  and healthcare providers to create your supportive and caring village.
