Lactation consultation and education
One of a mother's most basic instincts is to nurture her new infant through breastfeeding. This unique mother-baby bond provides benefits that will last a lifetime!
My goal as a lactation consultant is to support every mother in meeting her infant's needs in the way that best suits their unique relationship.
I offer private, in-home classes and consultations for expectant and breastfeeding mothers, partners and support persons. I am happy to see parents and babies in Southeastern Massachusetts and Northern Rhode Island.
I can help with many breastfeeding issues such as sore nipples, engorgement, clogged ducts, latching problems, low supply, tongue-tie, pumping your milk, and the very special needs of premature infants and multiples.
I would like to thank my mother for breastfeeding in a generation of bottle-feeders. I grew up seeing my 3 younger siblings and 8 younger cousins breastfed as well. I always assumed I would breastfeed my own children when the time came. And I have, all five, including twins! Over the years I have had the pleasure of sharing this joy with many other mothers as a maternity nurse and now as an IBCLC. So thank you, mom! A simple act can change the world!
