About me

Hello everyone, My name is Biji Ambooken. I have been working as a nurse in the maternal newborn unit for the past 20 years and also have a IBCLC in community for the past 3 years. I have lots of experience with families and their babies, especially term babies, preterm babies, twins, and newborns with health issues/hard time with feeding. I also have lots of experience with mothers and their health issues, feeding issues, breast milk production/supply, post partum depression, and mothers who need a bit of encouragement and understanding. I am happy to assist and help the way you want to feed your baby with no judgement, making your transition as a new parent much easier.

Service introduction

I am available to do both ante partum and post partum consultation. I am well experienced with term, preterm and multiple babies. I prefer to do in-person appointments, to identify and resolve the concerns regarding feeding, but willing to do virtual appointment if client prefers.
