Exciting News! Foveo Birth & Baby has partnered with Olympia Lactation!
​Consults are now booked through Olympia Lactation. 

Lactation Consultations  

​As an IBCLC I have extensively studied the anatomy and physiology of lactation and am prepared to offer in depth 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 infant feeding 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 an individualized feeding plan.  ​
​Immediate benefits of human milk 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!!) knowledgeable, supportive, encouraging and more! She worked with me 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
Breast milk is widely acknowledged as the most complete form of nutrition for infants, with a range of benefits for infants' health, growth, immunity and development.   -- Healthy People 2010, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, Georgia
