Certified Breastfeeding Nutritionist and Nutrition Lactation Coach

What foods are best for nursing? Can you prepare your body before birth for lactation? How many calories should you be eating? Does it matter if you’re breastfeeding one child or twins? Who has the time to worry about meals?

 

As a new mom, finding time to eat is hard. Enjoying nutrient-rich meals probably sounds like a dream. And if you’re dealing with food sensitivities, allergies, special diets, and colicky babies, choosing foods while breastfeeding can be intimidating and overwhelming. Our expert lactation dietitian nutritionists use evidence-based research and experience to address your individual needs.

 

We also work with vegetarian and vegan moms and provide guidelines and help resolve breastfeeding concerns. Each parent’s journey is unique, and we are here to support you to make feeding your baby the healthiest, and easiest it can be. Choosing the right foods for your unique needs is a key piece of postpartum healing and nursing success.

 

Working with a Certified Lactation Nutritionist and coach can give you the support, and information, you need to empower you to make the right food choices for you and your baby whether you want to breastfeed exclusively, combine nursing and pumping, or combine breastfeeding and formula feeding.

 

Good dietary practices implemented during lactation and early in a baby’s life can impact their lives long-term (while breastfeeding, babies receive a variety of nutrients and flavors based on mom’s diet). Together, we will work to develop an individualized diet plan that addresses you and your baby’s needs including vegetarian and vegan moms, food sensitivities or allergies, if you need supplements or not, and more. And, we make it practical. Easy-to-follow meal plans, grocery lists, and food prep so that you spend more time cuddling your baby and napping than in the kitchen.

Breastfeeding Consultation Packages and Plans

Every woman’s nutritional needs are unique. You might be planning to breastfeed exclusively or want to nurse and bottle feed, pump, or formula feed. You might be breastfeeding a single child or multiple births. And healing postpartum, meeting all your nutrition needs, can be a challenge. We find that a minimum of three sessions are typically needed for optimal results. That said, because of the body’s changing needs postpartum, while breastfeeding, and that first year after having a baby, we offer an array of discounted services, which includes access to meal plans, follow-up appointments, and more.

 

Therefore, we offer a discounted package of 3-sessions. This package has a total value of $495. Grab it for $395. We will customize the session spacing for your needs, but the typical spacing is 3 – 4 weeks between sessions. Sessions must be used within 6 months.

  • The postpartum phase, often referred to as the "fourth trimester," is a significant period in a new mother's life. OK. This is a gross understatement.  You've just been hit by the baby train. And all those great happy hormones that were coursing through your body during pregnancy have been flushed out. Your body hurts from childbirth, your milk coming in, and you're not sleeping at all. It's so overwhelming, and the last thing you probably can imagine is eating a balanced diet....

  • There are so many more myths out there about breastfeeding and diet. They do more to scare new mothers than support them during this very challenging time.  Another big myth: breastfeeding is easy. Breastfeeding takes planning and support, and ideally, a healthy balanced diet. Today, we want to discuss breastfeeding lore, addressing these myths one by one. Breastfeeding isn’t as tricky as people make it out to be. It’s not easy. But if you’re eating......

  • It’s summer. It’s hot. And you’re hungry. Healing after having a baby requires a nutrition plan to ensure vegetarian and vegan moms get the nutrients they need. Postpartum vegetarians and vegans have similar nutrient needs as their non-vegetarian counterparts, but they may need to pay closer attention to certain nutrients that are more commonly found in animal-based foods. Some of the key nutrient needs for postpartum vegetarians and vegans include: These summer snacks are great......

  • The American Academy of Pediatrics and CDC recommend breastfeeding exclusively for six months, then a diet of breastfeeding and complementary foods for up to two years; however, less than 25% of women in the United States feed exclusively for those first six months. Let us be the first to say it: breastfeeding is not easy. It takes time and planning, and in a world where we’ve been used to go-go-go, new moms feel like they......

  • In May we celebrate mothers! It’s a month of cards and flowers and brunches. It’s a month where new moms are probably feeling equal parts grateful and overwhelmed. But so many women come to us when they’re getting ready to have their babies (or after) and ask, “How do I nourish my body postpartum?” New mothers need a lot of extra love and nourishment. These initial days, weeks, even months, after baby arrives take a......
