Breastfeeding Support

Breastfeeding provides the optimum nutrition and health protection from many forms of diseases and creates a unique bond between mother and baby. Breastfeeding is the natural way to feed a baby, but it doesn’t always come naturally. Having professional breastfeeding support within the first few days after birth is a very important to a new mom and baby.

Reading about latch-on basics and trying to translate text and pictures into what to do with your baby at your breast can be difficult. It's much easier to have someone show you early on, before latch-on problems turn into sore nipples or problems with baby not getting enough milk.

If your baby has difficulties with latch-on or sucking, or has other health problems that complicate breastfeeding, the support of a knowledgable professional  can help you resolve these issues.

Sometimes breastfeeding is hard, and or frustrating but it is always worth it.  Let Denise gently guide you and your baby towards a succefful breastfeeding relationship.
