Exclusively Pumping

I specialize in exclusively pumping and breast pump selection. This steams from my journey as a gestational surrogate in 2019. I pumped exclusively for over 18 months and donated over 10,000 ounces to local families and milk banks. 

I offer detailed flange fittings and have extensive knowledge on pumping products. I can help set up your pumping schedule, pumping at work, milk supply concerns, increasing you milk supply and much more. If your looking to donate or ship milk I can help set you up with a milk bank and shipping instructions. I also have an array of pumps for you to "try before you buy." Look for my exclusively pumping consult to get support. 


Lip & Tongue Ties

I'm trained to assess lip and tongue ties or "restrictions" in your infants mouth. I will check your infants oral function and overall feeding experience by observing a feeding and doing an oral assessment. I can help you choose if a "release" would be beneficial to your baby. I go over what a release procedure is like and educate on needed "after care" post release. I will send referrals to the pediatric dentist of your choice. I require a Follow Up visit 1-2 days post release to check release sites, help with stretches/aftercare and make sure the procedure went well.
