Why might I schedule an appointment with an IBCLC?
Many things related to feeding your baby fall under my helping umbrella, so here are a couple of common questions you might call me about as you begin to breastfeed (And if your question isn't listed here, don't worry! Chances are I have been asked that very same question at least a couple of times before):

  • How do I latch my baby?
  • Breastfeeding HURTS. How can I fix that?
  • I think I have low supply. How do I know?
  • My baby isn't gaining enough weight. What do I do?
  • I started off formula feeding, but now I want to breastfeed. Is it too late?
  • I think my baby might have a lip/tongue tie. What should I do?
  • My baby has had lip/tongue/cheek ties released, and I need help.
  • My supply is too heavy for my baby. How can I fix that?
  • I'm afraid my breasts and/or nipples aren't built right for breastfeeding.
  • I am engorged, and it HURTS! How do I fix that?
  • I think I have mastitis. What do I do?
  • I have been giving my baby formula. How can I get back to just breastmilk?
  • How do I introduce a bottle? How do I bottle feed?
  • I'm going back to school/work. What do I do about breastfeeding?
  • I am having twins/triplets. Now what?! Can breastfeeding work?
  • I'm ready to wean. How do I do that?
