Why should I use an IBCLC/CLC?

My goal is provide new moms and babies the support which is necessary to have a successful breastfeeding experience. Research has shown that moms who receive help in the earlier days tend to have an easier time breastfeeding and tend to breastfeed longer.

The birth of your baby is both exciting and tiring. Many moms expect that breastfeeding is easy and natural. While this is the case for some, it does require patience, education, care and support.

As a Certified Lactation Consultant(CLC), I can provide the education, support and care needed in the privacy and comfort of your home. I am available to prepare you before the baby is born until your baby chooses to wean and everything in between teaching about breast pumps and going back to work if needed.
