Lactation Consulting
The benefits of breastfeeding are enormous for both mother and baby. While breastfeeding is completely natural and normal, it is a learned skill and sometimes takes practice to become proficient. When I first started on my journey I quickly realized that I could not sufficiently help postpartum women without including lactation education. I first became a CLC, then a CBS, and am currently studying towards my IBCLC. I have helped hundreds of women and babies achieve their breastfeeding goals and have helped educate many families on the importance of breastfeeding. The most common reasons women stop breastfeeding (or never get started) are the lack of support and a perceived lack of milk supply. I am passionate about helping moms reach their breastfeeding goals because I know how important it is for a baby to have the best food possible. Breastfeeding can literally make a lifelong difference in a person's health.
The benefits of breastfeeding include:
Superior infant brain development
Healthy immune system
Increased bonding
Less crying
And much more!
