Exclusive Pumping
Some moms make this choice, or it may be the only way they can offer their milk to their baby temporarily or for an extended period of time in a variety of situations. It is possible! I will assist and support your choices and options.
I'm centrally located in Fort Myers so it's fairly easy for me to reach you in short time frame whether you live in North Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Lehigh Acres, Estero, Bonita Springs, or Naples.
Working and Breastfeeding
Whether you are back to work and/or school starting at 6 weeks or 6 months postpartum, full or part-time, working from home, or running your own business, there are options when continuing to feed your baby your milk and ways to protect your supply. We will explore and personalize your specific needs including how to best express your milk and make pumping easier throughout that part of your breastfeeding journey. No sugar-coating, it's work to provide milk for your baby when separated. We'll develop a plan together and assess closely together.
What if my Baby is in the NICU?
One of the things you can do if separated from your baby is to pump your milk. I will help you with your choices with knowledge, experience and compassion, you can do this!
milk expression options
Ever wonder how milk was removed from a breast before electric pumps? There were suction options and other interesting designs. Hand expression is one of the gentlest and most effective ways to remove your milk for your baby. This is a valuable skill I assist all moms in learning.
