Lactation & Feeding Support
Are you looking for breastfeeding help? Or perhaps weaning? Maybe you’re trying to decide what the best way is to introduce solids to your baby? As an infant feeding specialist, I have the training and experience to help you with all of those things and more!
Infant Feeding Consult
I love helping families find the right solution for them! That’s right – I don’t believe there’s a single right solution for everyone, but I do think there are a lot of options and typically one fits best with your desires, resources, and capabilities. Sitting down with me as an infant feeding specialist means we sit down and discuss what the needs of the baby and whole family are, what wants you have, and the resources available to you to make those things come together as a solution. I always keep up with the most recent information (like storing breastmilk and formula!) to make sure the data I give you is current and accurate. It’s a whole family approach to finding the right path for you and your family.
Breastfeeding Help
Lactation support looks different for a lot of families. When you’re looking for help in this area, I typically observe a feeding, discuss the issues (anything from painful latch to concerns about milk transfer to everything in between!), and then come up with a plan. Typically we set up at least one follow-up to make sure things are working for you and your family!
Formula and/or Bottle Help
While there tend to be plenty of resources out there for lactation help, I’ve found that there’s much less available helping you make decisions about formula or breast milk in a bottle – and what sort of bottle? It can be incredibly overwhelming, but I can sit down with you and discuss the pros and cons, and help you to make a plan.
Weaning & Solids
Eventually, the time comes when you’re ready to wean your baby and/or start solids. But there’s so much information available on the internet, and who’s to say what’s evidence-based vs outdated? I’ve done that research to help provide you with the information you want and need in order to make the decisions about graduating to different foods with your baby.
Infant Feeding 101 Class
From the moment your baby is born through all of their growing years, nutrition is incredibly important. In my private Infant Feeding 101 class, I will help you
- understand the feeding options you have.
- recognize benefits and drawbacks to options you would like to explore further.
- come up with a plan to reach your feeding goals.
This class covers feeding options from the day your baby is born through introducing solid foods and weaning.
The best part? Both of these options can be done virtually or in person, whichever is more convenient for you!
