About Integrative Lactation

Integrative Lactation considers the ‘whole’ mother and a baby when addressing lactation issues and concerns. The mind, body, emotional, spiritual, and personal support systems of the mother are considered collectively when applying solutions to problems.

A full history is gathered, starting with conception and pregnancy, then moving through the birth experience, first days of breastfeeding, and first days at home. Any medical conditions or birth complications that may impact breastfeeding are identified. Imbalances in the body will be addressed. All systems are considered in the development of a care plan that is sustainable for her and her family.
