Lactation Support
Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC)
As a certified lactation counselor I have been providing individual lactation support and group classes to women for over 4 years. I am currently providing lactation services a few days a week for WIC Breastfeeding Support. Having dealt with my own breastfeeding difficulties I have a unique view into the breastfeeding journey. This service can be a private breastfeeding class before birth or specific lactation support after birth.
Jody Swank, CLE
Certified Lactation Educator (CLE)
I received my Certification as a Lactation Educator in 2008 and enjoy leading breastfeeding support groups, providing in-home support and implementing the most up-to-date evidence based research on educating pregnant mothers & families on the benefits of breastfeeding. My fees for breastfeeding education and support are typically included in labor doula and after baby service fees.
Studies have shown that calm, confident support in the early days of breastfeeding can help establish successful, long-term breastfeeding.
