Lactation Counselling

"Breastfeeding is a mother's gift to herself, her baby, and the earth."

Pamela K.

After your bundle of joy arrives, one important decision you'll face is how to nourish your little one.

Embracing the natural path of breastfeeding is a wondrous option that I highly recommend, whenever possible, for the first six months of your baby's life.

The magic of breastfeeding goes beyond nutrition. It is a gift of love that transfers vital antibodies from you to your baby, bolstering their immune system and shielding them from infections.

Also, as you nourish your baby, know that breastfeeding holds a special significance — you create an special bond for your child and yourself, one that becomes a cherished memory to treasure for a lifetime.

  • Pre-lactation Consultation.

    I help expectant mothers feel more confident and informed about breastfeeding before their baby arrives. This proactive approach can contribute to a smoother breastfeeding experience and a stronger foundation for the mother-baby bond.

  • Breastfeeding Education:

    For first-time mothers, I provide comprehensive education on breastfeeding techniques, latch, positioning, and common challenges that new mothers may encounter.

  • Initial Latch Assistance:

    I offer hands-on support during the early breastfeeding sessions to ensure a proper latch, which is essential for effective breastfeeding and to prevent discomfort for both mother and baby.

  • Help With Common Problems:

    I assist with diagnosing common breastfeeding issues such as sore nipples, engorgement, and low milk supply, offering practical solutions and emotional support.

  • Weaning Guidance:

    I also offer guidance and support during the weaning process, helping mothers transition their babies to solid foods or alternative forms of feeding.

  • Returning to Work Support:

    For mothers planning to return to work, I  offer advice on maintaining breastfeeding while juggling work responsibilities and helping to create pumping schedules for you.
