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.
