Picture
Breastfeeding your baby is physiologically normal, it's what our bodies were designed to do!  As an IBCLC I have extensively studied the anatomy and physiology of breastfeeding and am prepared to offer support should problems arise.  My role, as a collaborative part of your health care team, is to provide evidenced based care and support while encouraging you as you work toward reaching your breastfeeding goals.

During your initial up to 2 hour consultation you'll receive answers to questions, support for dealing with difficulties, as well as your baby's weight, assistance with latching and positioning, a feeding assessment, and individualized feeding plan.  I am happy to offer support for your breastfeeding relationship with your infant, baby or toddler!  I make hospital, birth center or home visits at a time that is convenient for you. 
​Immediate benefits of breastfeeding include, but are not limited to:
  • Protection for baby from various allergies and illnesses
  • Reduced levels of stress, anxiety and postpartum depression for parents
  • Lowered risk of SIDS
  • Cost effective!​
    ​
Long term benefits include, but are not limited to:
  • Fewer cavities throughout life
  • Reduced rates of high blood pressure and heart disease
  • Reduced rates of obesity and juvenile, insulin-dependent diabetes
  • Reduced risks of osteoporosis and some forms of cancer in parents
"Stefanie is kind (the most!!) knowledgable, supportive, encouraging and more! She worked with me over the phone to help and encourage me in my breastfeeding journey with my kiddo, and I was so thankful. Don't hesitate to have her on your team!" - Caroline, Portland, OR
