What is an IBCLC?

The ONLY clinician whose sole focus is human lactation and infant feeding

Advanced knowledge and skill for complex cases

The gold standard in lactation care!

What can I do for you?

Prenatal Breastfeeding Education - "Prepare to Breastfeed" Class:

  • Comprehensive education to help you feel more confident once baby arrives

  • Physiology of lactation, starting to breastfeed, evolution of breastfeeding, what's normal and what's not, managing common difficulties, how to get help if needed.

  • Recommended at 30-36 weeks of pregnancy or earlier for twins.

  • Gather a group of friends for a discount!

Clinical Care

  • Prenatal assessment and plan in the case of previous breastfeeding difficulties, multiples, known risks, or simply needing reassurance and a plan before baby arrives.

  • High-level postpartum assessment and care plan to help resolve:

  • Insufficient infant weight gain

  • Low milk supply

  • Difficulties with position and latch

  • Breast or nipple pain

  • Difficulty with pumping

  • Facilitating breastfeeding in complex situations (tongue or lip-tie, musculoskeletal tensions, multiples, prematurity, complex medical issue, separation)

  • Any other breastfeeding problem

Flange Fitting

  • Did you know that the flanges supplied by pump manufacturers are not a good fit for most people?​  Most people need MUCH smaller flanges than the ones that come standard issue.  Using the right size can dramatically improve pumping comfort and efficiency.

  • Assessment using the FITS method

  • Trial of multiple sizes of sterilized flanges or inserts to find the size and shape that is most comfortable and effective

  • Size range of 10mm - 36mm with various shapes
