MamaBecky81@gmail.com, 704-564-9709
Bio: I am a mother of 3 children all of whom I breastfed. I believe in friendly, knowledgeable, non-judgemental breastfeeding assistance. I am supportive of all levels of breastfeeding (i.e. partial, full, etc). I am willing to assist at any stage of the child's breastfeeding progress (i.e. preemie, newborn, over a year, etc.) and with every type of issue you may have (i.e. returning to work, supply worries, latch, adoptive parent, breast reduction, twins, etc). I have worked as a Lactation Counselor for almost 3 years, first as a WIC Peer Counselor and then as an independently contracted counselor. I charge $30/half hour, which includes a free 15 min initial triage call to determine whether it would be more appropriate for myself or a Dr. to oversee your case and a free follow-up call. Please don't hesitate to call. It is always best to get help sooner rather than later. $30-$60 is so much less than having to buy more formula for months and months!
