MILC - Mother-Infant Lactation Consulting Okanagan

MILC - Mother-Infant Lactation Consulting Okanagan International Board Certified Lactation Consultant and Registered Nurse providing evidence-based inf My name is Sarah Devine, RN, IBCLC.

I work as an RN in Perinatal and Paediatric specialties at Vernon Jubilee Hospital and as a Lactation Consultant in private practice. Additionally, I have been involved in La Leche League since 2015 and I have been a Volunteer Leader since 2018. My passion for breastfeeding began during my first pregnancy when I became aware of the difficulties that many parents had with breastfeeding/chestfeeding. I was determined to exclusively breastfeed my baby, and despite a few bumps in our journey, we made it to three and a half years, through a second pregnancy, and tandem nursing. I have to be honest, I never imagined that I would be nursing a 3.5 year old toddler and an infant at the same time, but they have been the most rewarding years of my life! Through my practice as an RN, IBCLC, my intention is to help parents achieve their infant feeding goals through evidence-based knowledge, personalized support, and collaboration with other health care team members, starting in pregnancy and throughout the breastfeeding/chestfeeding journey. Breastfeeding/chestfeeding can be the most rewarding experience of one’s life, but for some it may also be one of the hardest things they have had to do. In partnership with my clients, I aim to help prevent, and solve, any breastfeeding/chestfeeding problems that may arise through comprehensive care.

Reach your infant feeding goals!

My name is Sarah Devine. I am an RN, IBCLC, working in Perinatal and Paediatric specialties at Vernon Jubilee Hospital and in private practice as a Lactation Consultant. Additionally, I have been involved in La Leche League since 2015, and I have been a Volunteer Leader since 2018. My passion for breastfeeding/chestfeeding began during my pregnancy with my first baby when I started to become increasingly aware of the difficulties parents were having with meeting their infant feeding goals. As a first time mom, I was very determined to breastfeed by baby and despite a few bumps in the journey, we made it to three and a half years, through a second pregnancy and into tandem nursing. And, if I am completely honest, I would never have dreamed I would find myself tandem nursing a 3.5 year old toddler and infant, but I am so grateful for the journey, which is still going!! In my practice I aim to support parents in their goals for infant feeding through evidence-based knowledge, guidance and education that ideally begins during pregnancy. My goal is to enable parents to make informed decisions about their choices concerning their infant feeding and parenting and to help them through any difficulties in their journey, should they arise. Breastfeeding/chestfeeding can be the best experience of your life and also the hardest thing you’ve ever done. I look forward to being a part of this very special time in your life helping to make it the best it can be!
