Nursing your baby may be difficult in the beginning, however with the right support it can provide a lifetime of health benefits for mothers, babies, families, and mother earth!
Research shows that breastfeeding decreases risk of obesity, cardiovascular disease and even certain cancers for YOU and YOUR BABY. Although most understand the health benefits for baby, some are unaware that breastfeeding also reduces the risk of multiple health disparities in women!
The longer that you provide breastmilk to your baby, the more benefits to you and your baby!
We start by meeting you where you are in your breastfeeding journey. During our initial postnatal lactation consultation, we take time to understand your medical history, goals, and specific needs. We perform an in-depth evaluation of feeding, positioning, latching, and a thorough oral and structural assessment of your baby. We also assess milk transfer by weighing your baby before and after feeding. With all this information, we create a customized plan that fits your unique situation and provide you with resources to optimize your feeding experience.
