International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) certificate holders have demonstrated specialized knowledge and clinical expertise in breastfeeding and human lactation and are certified by the International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners® (IBLCE®). As an IBCLC I aim to meet each client where they are currently, helping them along their own journey at a pace that is appropriate for them individually.
I recommend clients book a prenatal consultation and plan for two to three follow-up consults postpartum. Lactation care should be preventative by nature, you do not need to be experiencing a current problem to seek lactation care.

Weight Checks
Regular weight checks are a helpful piece of data that offers insight into how feeding is going over time.
I recommend the following weight check schedule:

Lip/Tongue Tie Support
If you believe your infant may have a restrictive lip or tongue frenulum that is impacting breastfeeding or bottle feeding I am able to offer a comprehensive oral exam to offer insights into your infants oral function and structure as it relates to feeding. If you have scheduled an appointment to assess and possibly alter your infants anatomy I do encourage you to schedule a consultation before and after your baby's revision appointment so that we may discuss aftercare in more detail and assess wound healing.
