Exclusively pumping
Exclusively pumping IS breastfeeding! I'll help you determine the correct flange size for you and answer all your questions to help make this journey comfortable and successful.

FAQs
Why should I pay for breastfeeding help?
There is no substitute for receiving hands-on, expert help and education from a knowledgeable, professional, expert IBCLC (Lactation Consultant). Advice from well-meaning friends and family or videos on social media can only help so much...and might unintentionally steer you in the wrong direction.
A visit with me will answer your questions and help you feel confident in feeding your baby! I have 13 years of experience as a Lactation Consultant and was a postpartum RN for 20 years. I deeply understand baby's behaviors, especially at the breast, and what these behaviors are telling us regarding feeding. This allows me to teach you what your baby needs to make breastfeeding easier and enjoyable!
Also, you will get an appointment within a few days of contacting me, skipping the long wait times that larger establishments have for an appointment.
