Lactation Consultant - LER LC-CBS

Feeding your baby is not just about nourishing your baby.

It’s about comfort, connection, confidence, and feeling supported during a deeply tender season of life.

 

I help families build a confident, comfortable feeding relationship with their baby through compassionate, gentle, evidence-based lactation support.

Whether you’re preparing for birth, facing early feeding challenges, or navigating a new stage of breastfeeding, my approach  is tailored to your goals, your baby, and your unique situation—without judgment or pressure. You deserve clear information, focused on practical solutions that work for your family with skilled care, and encouragement that you can trust.

What my clients say:

I wanted to thank you for the enormous help at the start of my breastfeeding journey. It was so difficult and we wouldn’t have made it through without you! You were a magical fairy who came to use in a real time of need. Now the twins are 6 months and I’m exclusively breastfeeding, rarely give formula, and all is going very well without pain or many problems!

I would like to thank Yaz https://www.facebook.com/maedoula?mibextid=LQQJ4d (https://www.maedoula.com) for saving my breastfeeding! Due to severe cracked nipples from incorrect latch, I started using silicone nipple shields in the first week of my newborn's life. This led to very little milk supply and the baby not gaining weight. Additionally, my son became so accustomed to them that he refused to breastfeed without them. I was very distressed. During the consultation, Yas determined that due to the use of nipple shields, the sucking reflex only triggered when the shield touched the roof of the mouth, and specific massage was needed when feeding with a syringe to restore the reflex to the tongue. She also gave excellent recommendations on increasing milk supply. We followed her recommendations for two days, and on the third day, she visited us again to help with proper latch. Since her visit, our baby has been breastfeeding without the shields and without pain, and we are infinitely happy! A huge thank you to Yaz from our family!
