Lactation Support

What can our Lactation Educator help you with? Erica can help with the following:
‍

• answer Lactation (breastfeeding/chestfeeding/pumping) questions that come up for clients during the prenatal & postpartum periods;
• help clients prepare for lactation:
            -Breastfeeding, Chestfeeding, Pumping, or however Lactation looks for your family;
• provide information & strategies for the best possible start to your lactation journey;
• educate the public on lactation related issues;
• be a general advocate for Lactation, as it relates to Population Health;
• offer a comforting & non-judgmental space for clients to discuss lactation & human milk feeding.

Erica can also offer an experienced perspective for feeding. To date, she has almost 4 years of feeding experience. Erica has personally used a SNS (Supplemental Nursing System), spoon method, syringe & tube method. She has also had to supplement, and use lactation medicine/aids in her lactation journey.

Erica understands the importance of supportive collaboration within the healthcare system. Her role is one as an educator and counsellor, NOT a Lactation Consultant. However, Erica can appropriately refer clients to a Lacation Consultant or other medical professional. Lactation Educators are not qualified to offer medical advice or suggest that families act against medical advice.

If you or your family are interested in lacation education please book with Erica Pisciotto.
