Lactation Consultant
A Lactation Consultant (LC) is someone who is specialized in breastfeeding to support mothers in their breastfeeding journeys with their baby. Every baby is unique, making each journey different. LCs can help shed some light as to things that cause difficulties such as latching, tongue ties, low-milk supply, and overactive milk ejection reflex, to name a few. Mothers having difficulty shouldn't have to face it alone, there is always support available. I help troubleshoot these difficulties and work with the dyad to make the family happy.
This is a great therapy to consider for the following:
Education for breastfeeding (tips, tricks, pumping, etc)
Difficulty latching
Painful latching
Painful feeds
Desire to support milk supply naturally
Assess for tongue-tie and/or lip-tie
and more!
