GET TO KNOW

I am a mom of two babies, a trained primary care registered nurse, and I certify as a lactation consultant, lactation educator and breastfeeding specialist. I would like to share my experience with breastfeeding my two children…

​

When I had my daughter in 2020, I experienced struggle with breastfeeding. With her being my first baby, I had never breastfed before and her being born with torticollis of the neck made positioning and latching her at the breast difficult. I developed postpartum thyroiditis which affected my milk supply. I ended up receiving help and successfully breastfed her for 6 months. Then I pursued further education to become a lactation consultant while on maternity leave because I became passionate about breastfeeding my child and wanted to help other mothers with their experiences when I returned to work.  

 

With my second child, born in 2023, I had an oversupply of milk and he had a tongue tie and refused a bottle. Once I figured out what worked well for us, and with my training and knowledge from being a lactation consultant, I am proud that I could breastfeed him for 12 months. 

​

I created my business, “Bundle of Joy: Lactation Support” after personal struggle with breastfeeding my first child, and when I saw there was a great need for breastfeeding assistance in the community of Brantford.

 

My goal for my lactation business is to be able to give clear, proper, non-biased and in-depth support and education to families in the postpartum period and to be able to help them meet whatever their wishes may be for feeding their child.
