Lactation & Feeding Support

Before or after your baby arrives, it’s common to have questions about lactation and feeding. Having the right support — both practical and emotional — can make feeding your baby a more comfortable and rewarding experience.

I provide personalized, compassionate guidance around all aspects of feeding, including:

• Understanding the mechanics and emotions of breast/chest feeding

• Reducing pain, anxiety, and infection risk

• Clarifying your feeding goals and finding what works best for your family

• Formula support – including guidance on use, preparation, and storage

• Weaning support when you’re ready to make a transition

• Assistance with prescriptions for pumps or formula (for insurance coverage)

• Medication prescriptions for infections or to support milk supply

My approach is always non-judgmental and inclusive — whether you are exclusively breastfeeding, combining breast and formula feeding, or choosing to use formula, I’m here to support your choices with care and respect.

In British Columbia, up to 4 hours of lactation consulting within the first 6 weeks postpartum are covered under BC Health Care (MSP). A pre-birth lactation consultation can also be covered.

After 6 weeks, private consultation rates are:

• $50 per hour

• Trades and alternative arrangements welcome

• No one is turned away due to financial circumstances
