Prenatal Breastfeeding Education

Service Description

Hi, my name is Julie and I am an IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant). I help new and expecting parents feel confident about feeding—whether that’s breastfeeding/chestfeeding, pumping, bottle feeding, combo feeding, or figuring out what works best for your family. My approach is simple and calm: we look at what’s going well, reduce what’s getting in the way, and create a plan you can actually follow in real life. How I can help: Latch & pain: positioning, deeper latch techniques, healing strategies Milk supply: increasing, regulating, or weaning comfortably Pumping & flange fit: personalized settings and sizing for comfort and output Bottle feeding & bottle refusal: paced bottle skills and transitions Return-to-work plans: pumping schedules, milk storage, daycare tips Weighted feeds & growth checks (when appropriate) Tongue/lip tie navigation: practical next steps and referrals if needed Twins & multiples: workable routines that protect your energy Prenatal consults: get set up before baby arrives Weaning plans: gentle, step-by-step support What a visit is like: We’ll talk through your goals, watch a feed (live or via video), make small adjustments, and leave you with a clear, written plan. You’ll also get follow-up guidance so you’re not left guessing after our visit. Flexible care: Sessions available at your St. Augustine area home, in person in Palencia or virtually from anywhere for convenient, secure support. Partners and support people are welcome.
