From the beginning of my work/ study in Sydney, Australia, to my current position as a Lactation Consultant for maternity/L&D floor and NICU in Los Angeles, California. There has never been a greater need for Mother -Baby advocacy and support with breastfeeding than right now.

Let’s talk about it.

How to understand your prenatal/perinatal rights and wishes during your stay at the hospital.

Understanding how a latch really works. (Science!)

Milk supply (More Science!)

How both vagninal and C-section deliveries can be better supported in the Hospital setting with a designed plan of care before delivery.

How to prepare you and your baby for a more positive breastfeeding experience, starting minutes after birth to discharge home, day 2-6 of milk transition, and through the first week and beyond.

The vital importance of hand expression to support your milk supply and latch, and the proper technique for performing this.

First steps to take if the latch hurts.

Understanding clusterfeeding.

Evidence-based methods for combo feeding successfully

Immediate and careful intervention of pain or discomfort with feedings

How and when to safely and correctly introduce pumping to support milk supply.

Navigating all the products and overwhelming information related to breastfeeding and pumping.

This is a precious moment that requires nothing less than science-based and trustworthy support from a licensed professional. I would be honored to have the opportunity to better support you and your babies’ successful journey forward.
