Breastfeeding a baby can be difficult, but it doesn't have to be. As a International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) I meet you where you are and provide you with the lactation and breastfeeding support and tools you need. Whether you are expecting a baby or having trouble nursing, pumping, or weaning, I can help- after all, breastfeeding only works if it's working for both parent and baby! Whether you are dealing with sore or cracked nipples, worried about either low milk supply or oversupply, confused about pumping breastmilk when you return to milk, dealing with poor advice from family or friends, curious about whether your child may have a tongue tie or lip tie, or just concerned that your baby is nursing all the time, I can help you. I spent four intensive years studying breastfeeding/nursing/chestfeeding at the graduate level and helping families as I worked towards my certification as an IBCLC and my Master of Arts degree in Lactation. I offer a range of lactation services in your home (within 10 miles of picturesque Sudbury, MA) as well as phone, email and text follow-up and reports to your health care provider about your visit. When our visit concludes I will provide you with a 48 hour care plan to follow as well as a combined superbill/receipt to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Your breastfeeding consultation with Rachel will empower you with evidence-based lactation knowledge and techniques that will have a positive impact on your nursing relationship.
