Inducing Lactation for Adoption

As an adoptive mother myself, working with prospective adoptive parents is close to my heart.  I understand the adoption process and the need for a flexible plan for inducing lactation.

Inducing Lactation When Your Partner is Birthing

Your partner is birthing and you would like to breastfeed your baby.  Perhaps your partner will not be breastfeeding and perhaps they will.  Either way, you can choose to breastfeed.

Co-Nursing

Co-nursing is a beautiful way two parents can share in the joys and effort of breastfeeding.  Over the years, co-nursing parents have shared with me their keys to a co-nursing experience that meets the needs of the baby as well as both parents.

Inducing Lactation for Surrogacy

As an intended parent, you deserve a plan for inducing lactation that is individually suited to your needs along with support every step of the way.  Lactation support is also available for your surrogate if she is expressing milk for the baby.

Relactation* 

If you birthed your baby but either did not initiate breastfeeding or discontinued lactation and wish to resume, I am here to help -- whether you need some general guidance or an individualized relactation plan.

*Note:  Relactation is sometimes defined as resuming lactation after a previous lactation, even when resuming lactation for a baby you did not birth.  If this describes you, choose the term that feels like a fit for you!  However, the type of services you need are found under inducing lactation rather than relactation.

Lactation Professionals  

If you are an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) or other lactation or birth professional who wants to support clients/patients who are inducing lactation or relactating, then I am here to help with the Breastfeeding Without Birthing Professional Pack Online Training.

Or maybe you would like to team with me:  refer a client to me for a lactation plan and then provide in-person help and connection with local resources.
