Lactation Services Breastfeeding is the natural extension of healthy living and healthy birthing. Breastfeeding carries significant health and emotional benefits without the serious risks that formula feeding may impart. There exists an inexplicable special bond between a mother and her breastfeeding child. Breastfeeding difficulties are rare, but if you encounter uncertainty or problems nursing your baby, immediately call an experienced professional who is dedicated to breastfeeding as the superior way to nourish a child. Lactation Consultants are listed in most phone books, or you can call La Leche League (1.800.LA-LECHE), an organization devoted to the importance of breastfeeding, to find a experienced volunteer or meeting your area. Prenatal visits are available to discuss preparation to nurse your baby; knowing what to expect can help to prevent problems. Vickii Gervais has 18 years experience in counseling nursing mothers and assisting with breastfeeding problems. She has held certification as a lactation consultant by the International Board of Certified Lactation Examiners (IBCLC) and has significant experience working with premature babies and babies with Down Syndrome and clefts. |
