Lactation counseling may support families experiencing:

*  Painful latch or nipple damage

*  Shallow latch, clicking, or leaking at the breast

*  Poor weight gain or slow milk transfer

*  Low milk supply or oversupply

*  Pumping guidance and return to work planning

*  Bottle refusal or bottle-feeding challenges

*  Feeding difficulties related to oral function

*  Tongue-tie concerns

*  Weaning support

Sessions are calm, unrushed, and focused on practical solutions that fit your life and goals

Each visit is individualized and may include:

*  Feeding history and goal setting

*  Breastfeeding observation

*  Oral and functional assessment

*  Positioning and latch support

*  Weighted feed to evaluate milk transfer

*  Education and troubleshooting

*  A clear, supportive plan moving forward

You will leave feeling informed, supported and empowered-not overwhelmed.

Tongue-tie can affect latch, milk transfer, and comfort for both baby and parent.  I offer functional feeding assessments and collaborate with trusted local providers when further evaluation or release is needed.

Support may include:

*  Feeding assessment

*  Oral function screening

*  Pre- and post-release guidance

*  Coordination with dental or medical providers

My focus is always ono how your baby functions, not just how things look.
