I’m proud to share that I’ve officially completed my recertification as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) through International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners.

Behind that credential are countless hours of education, ongoing professional development, updated research review, clinical practice, and a continued commitment to evidence-based care for the families I support.

Recertification is not just a title renewal. It means continuing to invest time, energy, and yes, thousands of dollars, each term, into staying current with infant feeding research, maternal health, ethics, and safe clinical practice so families receive accurate, up-to-date support.

When families seek lactation support, they deserve someone who is not only compassionate, but also accountable to professional standards and continuing education. Feeding challenges can feel overwhelming, emotional, and sometimes isolating. Having someone in your corner who is trained to assess, support, educate, and help guide decisions can make a meaningful difference.

I’m incredibly grateful to continue supporting moms, babies, and families through every stage of their feeding journey, from prenatal education to complex feeding challenges and everything in between. I can’t always solve every problem, but I always put 110% into supporting you!

Thank you to every family who has trusted me to be part of such an important season of life. 🤍

How and where a baby grows on a chart is so individual, and we can’t expect a one size fits all for where a baby will be, because there are many variables, (genetics, parents own characteristics, physical conditions or disease, milk vs formula etc). What’s important is that your baby continues to grow in a positive way, wherever they are at on the growth chart! To this day we still have and see SO many discrepancies on “where” a baby should be, and many people including health care providers may not fully understand and give poor advice. We often see this in babies who are on the smaller % scale, but are still growing as they should.

Just like in the fictional Minnesota town of Lake Wobegon, where “all the children are above average,” many parents believe there is something wrong if their breastfeeding baby’s weight isn’t above the 50th percentile. While it is human to want our children to excel, the assumption that babi...

Today is McHappy day at McDonald’s. This is a wonderful day to help support our local area Ronald McDonald houses for families with children in the hospital in some of the most unfortunate health circumstances. I have been a nurse for almost 20 years and have seen some incredible passion and heart shown to families through the Ronald McDonald charities. If you need a meal today, a snack or a drink, I promise you this is a GUILT FREE day to indulge for a good cause! We are

Good morning, Better Together Community! 🤰 💞 🫂

Come join us mamas, families and community as we participate in the 3rd Annual Flora's Walk happening 1-3pm today at Waterworks park. (See our fb group link below)

Come by and say hello, ask questions, check out what we have going on and or participate in the walk.

Our goal is to raise awareness, and support the our very own community with pre and postnatal mental health support, in honour of Flora, a mom who lost her life in 2022 due to mental health and untreated post partum psychosis.

We walk to remember her, and to support families who may be struggling in silence.

Please consider sharing this post & donating this month to help our cause. No amount is too small.
