I'm a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), Doula, and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). Based in Worcester County, MA, I've been supporting new families in Massachusetts and Rhode Island since 2007. I know that every parent is different, so I don't believe in a cookie-cutter approach to lactation help. I will work with you to develop a breastfeeding plan that works for your li

fe and your family. I've supported more than a thousand families in Massachusetts and Rhode Island and I'd be honored to help you, too.

“Is he latching? Is this what it was supposed to look/ sound/ feel like?”

I asked myself that constantly with my first child, and I had no idea what to look for.

In episode three of my series Breastfeeding 101, I’m showing you exactly how to tell a good latch from a bad one, so you don’t have to guess.

Are you experiencing latch dilemmas? Share below and I’ll try my best to help you out.

I know baby sleep “experts” hate to see me coming because I will NEVER tell you to ignore your parental instincts and leave your baby cry it out alone in a dark room. Let me be so straightforward with you: all of those instincts have a biological backing.

Does that mean you have to choose between sleep and responding to your baby? No. You DON’T have to do cry-it-out just to get some sleep. There ARE gentler ways.

Comment SLEEP GUIDE and I’ll send you my gentle baby sleep guide.
