Why work with an IBCLC?
1
Low Milk Supply
Struggling with low milk supply or not making enough milk to supply infant needs? I can help. I am a low milk supply provider and can make individualized recommendations for herbs to boost supply and labs to investigate root cause, if needed.
2
Painful Latch
Does latching baby feel uncomfortable or even downright painful? I can help optimize latch, show you different breastfeeding positions, assess for oral function deficits that can cause pain, and provide recommendations for wound care for nipples that have damage.
3
Oversupply
Are you making too much milk or have an overwhelmingly fast let down for baby? I can help you downregulate your supply and learn how to manage oversupply in the most efficient way. Oversupply carries the risk of backed up areas of the breast and mastitis. I can help you figure it out!
4
Concerns about Tongue-Tie
Maybe you have heard of tongue tie or someone has mentioned that your baby might have a lip of tongue tie and you are confused or have concerns. I can assess your baby and give evidence based guidance concerning this hot button topic.
5
Mastitis or Recurring Mastitis
Have you had mastitis or an abcess and want to learn why this happens and how to take steps to minimize the risk of it happening again in the future? Or are you recovering from mastitis now? Reach out now so we can get on the right track!
6
Nipple Wounds/Bleb
Do you have nipple wounds or damage and are struggling to heal while still latching or pumping? With a medical background and experience in wound care as a BSN/RN, I can help you find the right solution for healing your nipple wounds while still feeing your baby.
7
Exclusive Pumping
Are you exclusively pumping and want to know how to get more milk or having issues/problems with your pump or your body's response to your pump? I can help troubleshoot your pumping issues and fit your flanges for optimization.
8
Flange Fitting
I can fit your flanges for pumping to help you get the most milk and minimize the risks of pumping incorrectly. Message for a pump consult/flange fitting today!

Latch Check
Maybe you're new to breastfeeding and want reassurance that everything is going well and baby is getting enough milk. Maybe you are a seasoned breastfeeder and something "just doesn't feel right this time." I saw an IBCLC for the first time with my 5th baby! You are not alone! Call for a latch check, let your insurance benefits give you the peace of mind you deserve!
10
Bottle Refusal
If your breastfed baby is refusing bottles, I can give you recommendations for working toward bottle acceptance. This can be such a stressful situation, especially is mom needs to return to work. Reach out today, help is available!
11
Breast Refusal
If you want your baby to direct breastfeed, but early bottle introduction caused a bottle preference and now baby won't latch, definitely reach out for help. This is an extremely common issue and there are numerous avenues to help convince baby to give the breast a go! Contact me for an appointment so we can work toward your goals.
