Breastfeeding and Infant Feeding Support
Lana Joy Wahlquist, Lead Birth Doula, Certified Lactation Educator
Our Certified Lactation Educator (CLE), Lana, provides compassionate, hands-on support for new parents navigating the early days of feeding. In this session, she will:
Offer guidance on latch and positioning to help you and your baby feel more comfortable. Support you in exploring feeding rhythms and techniques that work for your family. Answer common questions around pumping, milk storage, and supplementing if needed. Provide reassurance, encouragement, and practical tools to build your confidence.
This visit is ideal for parents seeking education, troubleshooting, and encouragement in the early days, whether you are breastfeeding, pumping, bottle feeding, or finding your own combination.
Note: Clinical concerns such as tongue tie, weight gain issues, or supply problems will be referred to an IBCLC for assessment.
