The early days with a newborn are crucial, and having skilled lactation support from an IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant) can change everything.
As a hospital-trained mother-baby nurse and lactation consultant with years of experience in newborn care and postpartum support in the Niagara area, I provide personalized, evidence-based lactation care that goes beyond just breastfeeding. I take into account your baby, your recovery, and your unique goals.
By bringing hospital expertise into the home, I help families feel supported, informed, and confident right from the beginning.
Why families choose my lactation support:
- Hospital-based newborn expertise
My experience as an IBCLC in a hospital setting allows me to identify feeding concerns early and understand the various factors that can impact the breastfeeding journey.
- Individualized, whole-family support
Recognizing that no two babies or families are the same, I take the time to understand your goals, your baby’s needs, and what is realistically sustainable for your family’s lifestyle.
- More than just a feeding assessment
Breastfeeding is intricately connected to the bigger picture. Newborn behavior, recovery after birth, milk supply, comfort, positioning, oral function, and confidence are all assessed to provide comprehensive lactation support.
- Support that meets you where you are
Whether you are preparing before birth, navigating early newborn feeding, overcoming challenges, pumping, combination feeding, or seeking to feel more confident, my lactation consultant services are tailored to your unique journey.
