Dear Mama,

Never forget how loved you are.

The role that you have in your family is irreplaceable.

Give yourself grace as you navigate all the things and also allowance to rediscover who you are in this world of motherhood.

You are doing better than you think you are.

⭐️Want to know the BEST method to feed your baby solids?

The BEST METHOD is: whatever method works best for you & you baby!

I will always recommend following safe practice guidelines (and where I live, those are by The Canadian Pediatric Society & Alberta Health Services)

HOWEVER

There are multiple safe options:
* purées
* Baby led weaning
* A combination of both!

Starting solids and first foods are such an exciting adventure!

✨Knowledge is CONFIDENCE!
And confidence will help you make the best INFORMED CHOICE for your family!

🚩If you have started already and you need support, book WEANING SUPPORT for you and your baby!

You Got This Mama!

✨KNOWLEDGE is CONFIDENCE✨

During my years as a labor & delivery/maternity nurse, I have seen the unknown stir up anxiety & fear
AND also how education & knowledge can lead to confidence & advocacy

Knowing what to expect,
What your options are,
What your desires & preferences are,
Leads to confidence & empowerment
To advocate for yourself & your baby

🔑Prenatal education to KEY for:
* Feeding
* Pregnancy
* Delivery
* And postpartum

⭐️If you are expecting & looking for customized education focused on YOUR goals & specific health history,
then book your very own virtual or in-home prenatal session!

“Is my baby getting enough?”

As a Registered Nurse & IBCLC Lactation Consultant, I meet SO many parents who are wondering about this!

You are not alone!

It is normal for you to wonder about this, especially if you’re directly breastfeeding your baby 🤱

HERE ARE THE 3 THINGS TO LOOK FOR:
1️⃣ Is your baby meeting the daily requirements for pees & poops?
2️⃣ Is your baby meeting their growth & development milestones?
3️⃣ Is your baby content between feeds?

These three things provide reassurance about:
* Adequate milk transfer
* Adequate milk supply
* Healthy development

⭐️ If you are still uncertain, it is important to book an appointment with your healthcare provider or local Lactation Consultant 🙋🏼‍♀️

👉 To make access to feeding support easier, my services are available both VIRTUALLY & IN-HOME!

👉 To book your feeding assessment: go to my website through my LINK IN BIO or send me a DM!
