Hilary Busing, RM, IBCLC
SERVICES
I provide in-home (or in the early days, in-hospital) breastfeeding and lactation support throughout Greater Victoria and the Cowichan Valley.
Breastfeeding is natural but it is also a learned skill. Almost anyone can benefit from 1:1 breastfeeding support, but common reasons for a consultation include:
-
breast or nipple pain
-
latching difficulty
-
slow weight gain
-
low milk supply
-
oversupply
-
suspected tongue tie
-
reliance on nipple shields
-
reliance on supplemental feeding / formula top-ups
-
reflux
-
premature baby
-
twins
-
feeding just seems too difficult!
Visits are around one hour long. I will work with you to identify your feeding goals and challenges, develop a written care plan and provide ongoing support, including follow-up visits as necessary.
My services are funded through your BC Care Card until your baby is 6 weeks old.
