If you are considering becoming an IBCLC, let's enjoy a cup of coffee or tea and talk about your plan for getting all your required educational hours and clinical hours as you prepare to take the IBLCE exam. This will take place via Zoom.

Whether you are feeding human milk or formula to your baby, sometimes there are struggles with bottlefeeding. Babies may refuse the bottle, may gag while drinking, may leak while drinking...all of these are things I can help with. I'll do an assessment of your baby's suck, suckle and oral anatomy, observe a feeding and give you strategies to help you and your baby have a more peaceful feeding without tears!

A follow-up visit (after one has done an initial lactation consultation) done virtually, using a HIPAA-compliant video platform.

For those who are expecting a baby and want to make a plan for increasing the likelihood of success after baby arrives. This visit will take place virtually, using a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform and your smartphone/tablet.

Different pumps and flanges are going to feel different and you may find something more comfortable that yields more milk! You'll never know until you try. And if you haven't already mastered it, learn hand expression skills. You will be observed pumping with the two sizes of flanges you likely have already (but you're encouraged to get other sizes if you can before the consultation). You'll learn some pumping tips, how to properly use your pump and suggestions for comfort and maximizing yield.
