Online Breastfeeding Support

Online breastfeeding support is available for parents and parents-to-be anywhere, at any time with Brandi Flores IBCLC. As an international Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) my virtual breastfeeding consults can be done from the comfort of your own home at a time that is convenient for you and your family. 

​

Breastfeeding Support Education

​

My online lactation consulting provides moms with education and support throughout their child’s breastfeeding journey. During our consultation you will receive  personalized step-by-step instructions that cover most common breastfeeding issues. I also help with managing stress and anxiety  associated with infant breastfeeding. Most often, my lactation consultations cover:

• Prenatal breastfeeding education 

• Productive latching

• Tongue and lip tie assessments

• Plugged duct support and management

• Improving supply

• Increasing weight gain

• Reducing instances of mastitis

• Finding the right pump

• Flange sizing 

• Preparing for return to work and entry to childcare

 

As a lactation consultant I can also provide feeding and swallowing support associated with tethered oral tissues (such as tongue, lip, and cheek-ties).

My breastfeeding support employs evidence-based techniques and takes a whole-team approach that considers mom and baby as a dyad in order to achieve the most productive outcomes.
