Individualised sessions designed specifically to address your needs and concerns, and delivered in the comfort of your own home, at my practice or in a virtual meeting.
Besides being lactation consultant IBCLC, I'm also a midwife and counselor. That’s why I approache giving birth and breastfeeding, combining my knowledge and positivity, to experience parenthood in the most enjoyable way.
Duration of session
You can count on at average 1,5 to 2 hrs. for a home session. I will observe a feeding, answer your questions and we'll talk about options to create your own personal plan.
To observe a feeding, please try to NOT feed your baby fully just before I come over. If possible keep in mind to not feed your baby to 1-1,5 hr before we start. Most often it works well to either feed your baby a bit earlier than used too or to offer just little bit. And of course, feeding goes before crying; please DO feed if really needed.
We'll evaluate through email in the weeks following the consultation wether the situation has changed, improved, or not yet. Please also let me know if 'improvements' did not occur, to adjust or to expand the 'plan'.
Invoice will be sent by email after the session(s). Most insurances reïmburse costs completely or partly. After payment you can reïmburse the bill to your insurance if they offer a couverage for Lactation Support IBCLC.

Why breastfeeding support after birth?
There are many reasons people choose to have individualised Postnatal Breastfeeding Support with a lactatation consultant IBCLC:
- to find a way in possibilities and knowledge in breastfeeding your LO in good balance with yourself, partner, and family.
- to make a change in your breastfeeding situation in issues like: discomfort (nipples, latch, positioning), production (low/high), tongue-lip-tie restriction, enjoyment, energy levels, schedule, expressing, combining, weening, medical situations, breast enlargement/reduction ed.
- going back work: to inform yourself about possibilities and rigths and make plan together
