About me

Hi! My name is Brenda and I am an International board certified lactation consultant! I have been a lactation consultant since 2021. My full time job is in a hospital but I have recently started helping moms and babes out in their home! I am a mom of two little boys. My passion for helping moms and their babes with their breastfeeding journey started when I worked my first perinatal job. But, it grew tremendously when I began breastfeeding my first and now my second child. I hope that you will allow me to be a small helpful part of your breastfeeding journey!

Service introduction

I offer breastfeeding services to both mom and babe. I can see you prenatally prior to baby to discuss breastfeeding goals and provide some key information. I also can see you in your home after baby arrives to assist with any breastfeeding needs, questions or concerns. I also will provide a weighted feeding at each visit. This will let us know how much baby has eaten at the breast. I also can show you how to use your pump if you plan to pump and come up with a pumping plan if returning back to work.
