I will be away and won’t be taking new clients until the end of April. Please contact your Pediatrician for other IBCLC’s in your area.
Breastfeeding can be a deeply rewarding experience with benefits for family bonding, health, and new parenting confidence. Some parents enjoy a smooth nursing experience from the start, while others may encounter challenges that lead to frustration, upset, and sometimes to untimely weaning. Seeking early help with breastfeeding problems can increase satisfaction for you and your baby during this important stage of life. I combine evidence-based information with emotional support to empower families to make their own personal choices.
I am an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), a healthcare professional with specialized skills and up-to-date knowledge of the breastfeeding process and lactation management. The IBCLC credential is the highest certification and the only internationally recognized credential in the field of lactation. Research has shown improved breastfeeding outcomes when mothers and infants receive the services of IBCLCs. While many training courses provide certificates of completion, only the IBCLC credential denotes professional clinical achievement in lactation consultation.
In response to COVID-19, I am now offering safe in-home visits as well as virtual visits.
“Thanks to Beth I was able to breastfeed my baby for as long as I had planned. If it wasn't for her caring and clear direction I may have just given up in the early days. Beth has both mom and baby's best interests at heart and is there to support you along the way with a kind, holistic approach and all the tactics gained from years of experience. In addition, being able to do regular weight checks was extremely valuable. If you're thinking of breastfeeding you need Beth!”
