Service introduction
I offer virtual or in-home consultations to discuss anything related to lactation, pumping, bottle feeding and solids introduction. This can include but is not limited to nipple/breast pain, latching pain/difficulties, positioning difficulties, how to bottle feed, baby weight gain issues, pumping/exclusive pumping, returning to work while breastfeeding/pumping, same-sex partners co-lactating, inducing lactation, breastfeeding toddlers, breastfeeding multiples (twins/triplets or toddlers with infants), increasing milk supply, weaning, lowering milk supply and many more.
Ratings and reviews
Bianca is an invaluable resource to new mothers struggling with lactation issues. As her mentee, I have had the privilege of witnessing Bianca assess and troubleshoot a variety of breastfeeding challenges. Whether it is latch difficulties, breast and/or nipple pain, concerns about milk supply and infant weight gain, or merely a desire for reassurance that everything is going as it should - Bianca addresses the issue holistically and with a high degree of clinical knowledge and competence.
