A Lactation Consultant is a health care provider who can help you feed your baby with greater ease. We will listen to hear what you have learned about your baby, answer your questions, and find out what you would like to change. We believe it’s crucial for parents to feel supported during the postpartum period and for you to find solutions that will work for your family and improve your day-to-day routines.
A lactation consultation involves an assessment of the feeding parent, the infant and how they feed together. The consultation’s primary goal is to empower the family and their healthcare provider(s) with information and interventions that are health-promoting for the dyad.
An Occupational Therapist, who has obtained IBCLC Certification, is offering services at Canopy Integrated Health. The International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners (IBLCE) certifies Lactation Consultants who meet its’ criteria, have passed an exam and continue to meet continuing education requirements. We are committed to providing inclusive, evidence-based, compassionate care that is collaborative. Families and the appropriate primary care provider will receive a written summary of the assessment and feeding plan at each visit.
