Our Services
-
My goal is to help you feed your baby- however it is that you want to do it. I can help you increase your breastmilk, help with bottle feeding your baby, balance breastmilk and formula feeding, going back to work, latching, pumping challenges, low weight gain, medically complex babies, or prematurity.
-
After I wash my hands, one of the first things we will do is weigh your baby, then work on whatever it is that you need help with. I often do flange fittings and oral assessments with infants who are having trouble latching or gaining weight or parents who have pain or difficulty with pumping. If your baby isn’t gaining weight well, I will give you instructions on how and when to supplement. I even have extra supplies like hydrogel pads, supplemental tubes, nipple shields, and flanges on hand to give you for free.
-
We will make plans for a follow up visit before I leave, but you are welcome to book a visit anytime you need help or want to do a weighted feed. Just reach out or schedule online.
-
Feel free to send me a text anytime 727-346-8850 and I will get back to you usually within 24 hours. If your question is more complex, we might need to schedule a visit, but I’m happy to help in anyway.

Prenatal education
From understanding the benefits of breastfeeding to learning basic techniques, we're here to provide expert guidance and information, ensuring you feel prepared and confident for this beautiful bonding experience with your baby. You can book a mini-breastfeeding class and we can talk about your past experience and you can meet me in person (which might make it easier to ask for help when you need it because we wont be strangers!)

Here to meet your goals
The most important part is for you to feel supported, encouraged, and knowledgable about how to make breastfeeding work for you and your baby. There is no pressure from us and you are allowed to change your goals at any time.

What can we help with?
Anything related to feeding your baby your any amount of milk!
We can weigh your baby before and after nursing to see how much milk they drank, pumping pain or low output, getting your baby to latch, painful latching/sore nipples, bottle feeding, and how to combine formula and breastfeeding to work for you.
