​Breastfeeding Classes & Counseling

Lactation counseling during pregnancy is a good way to help prepare a new mother for breastfeeding. Being prepared with the knowledge of what to expect and how to treat common complaints is a helpful way to ensure success. Sessions cover important topics about breastfeeding including:
​

• Proper latch and what to look for
• Hunger cues
• Breastfeeding positions
• Common concerns and solutions
• The anatomy and physiology of breastfeeding
• Myths regarding breastfeeding
• Pumping and equipment 
• The benefits of breastmilk
• The importance of support

I also offer private postpartum lactation counseling sessions to assist with latch and positioning, sore nipples, engorgement and low supply.

I provide lactation counseling in San Diego, La Jolla, Escondido, Encinitas, Oceanside, Palm Springs, Temecula/Murrieta, Menifee, Lake Elsinore, Corona, Perris, Riverside, Orange County and the surrounding cities.
