Alexa Buikema Lactation Consultant in Rockford, IL

I don’t have the “typical” testimonial…. Alexa was incredible for me postpartum, I unfortunately experienced a stillbirth of my son, Dallin at 37 wks. Alexa, helped me walk through the process of drying up my milk safely and making sure I was doing my best to care for myself and drinking plenty of water to avoid any problems in the process of drying up my milk. I will never forget her kindness in my darkest days & weeks. HIGHLY recommend Brighter Days Breastfeeding.

Alexa is passionate about supporting breastfeeding AND she is also passionate about supporting new parents holistically. Her experience as a NICU nurse has particularly equipped her to understand the challenges many parents face. If you work with her, you will walk away feeling educated and encouraged! I couldn’t ask for a better IBCLC.

Alexa is a must see for lactation! She helped me and my baby troubleshoot my baby’s difficultly to transfer milk. She provided guidance on positioning, baby’s palate and tongue restrictions, while prioritizing my milk supply for long term success. She is filled with understanding on the entire postpartum experience. Not only was she a wealth of knowledge but she also provided genuine emotional support and encouragement. She was quick to respond and made me feel supported the entire time I worked with her!
