Learn How to Breastfeed
Are you Pregnant and Feeling Unsure about breastfeeding?
Did you know that Breastfeeding is NOT an instinct for parents?
Many people think think that once their baby is born, they will just figure out how to breastfeed.
And some are successful. But many struggle.
Breastfeeding is learned. Babies have the instinct, but there are things to learn ahead of time.
Nurses in the hospital don't always have the training, or time, to properly help you and you will need help once you get home. I struggled a lot after my first baby, but once I had my second and third children, I was able to exclusively breastfeed with confidence.
*Having the information, tools and resources will make a huge difference for you to reach your breastfeeding goals.*
So how can I help?
*Take a class- learn how to breastfeed before your baby is born
*line up support- purchase time in person or through text
*contact for troubleshooting- hire me for your issues here and there, along the way

Breastfeeding Support via Phone, Text or Zoom
Many breastfeeding issues can be worked out with troubleshooting from a distance and don't require an in home visit from a lactation counselor or consultant. If your issues need in person support, that will be recommended. I have been answering questions for a couple of years on the Mrs. Patel's Ask a Lactation Counselor session on Sunday nights from 7-8pm on Instagram. While I love helping people in this way, I only get to exchange one or two messages per person, which doesn't allow me to see the whole picture. In an effort to be able to reach people, I want a simple way for them to get some more in depth support, without needing to live in my area, or without needing to pay for hours when they only need a short session. |
