Breastfeeding from Birth to Weaning
With over 12 years experience supporting breastfeeding families, and 6 years of personal breastfeeding experience, I seek to help you have a joyous and long breastfeeding relationship. Breastfeeding support creates a space for preventative education and learning basic breastfeeding techniques as well as troubleshooting for all stages of breastfeeding from birth through weaning and tandem nursing. Gentle latch guidance, in the comfort of your own home, that follows the natural flow of breastfeeding which enables you to balance this learning dance with your new baby and family.
More than a Lactation Consultant
Breastfeeding is the completion of the birth and the beginning of the parenting relationship. The whole birth journey needs to be considered when supporting a new mother. Breastfeeding support includes:
- Gentle Latch and Positioning Techniques
- Noticing when Baby is Swallowing Milk
- Breastfeeding Education & Awareness
- Birth Story Sharing
- Personal Goal Assessment
- Breast Compressions
- Pain & Discomfort Prevention
- Pain & Discomfort Troubleshooting
- Supplemental Nursing System/Lactation Aid
- Muscle/Alignment Awareness
- Tongue & Lip Tie Assessment (Tethered Oral Tissues TOTS)
- Referrals to Oral Restriction Revision, and other, providers as Needed

After both births, Danielle has gone out of her way to make sure that we were off to a good start with breastfeeding. I always give expectant mothers her contact information!

Gentle Breastfeeding Guidance
My approach to breastfeeding is gently watching mom and baby learn about each other and offering gentle guidance through teaching moms and their support team on what to look for to know that baby is swallowing milk, as well as learn about the breastfeeding relationship so breastfeeding becomes more normalized. These services are offered through my free monthly breastfeeding clinic, as well as through messaging, phone, and in-home (or at your birth facility) visits. Yes, I DO offer breastfeeding services “after hours” and on weekends for families that have already established care! Babies don’t stop nursing for schedules, and that means moms need support for all phases!
Accessible Breastfeeding Support
Breastfeeding support is available by e-mail, phone, live online web meetings, and in-person sessions within 1 hour of zip 26164. I have been providing breastfeeding education and support since 2009 in the Mid-Ohio Valley community including hosting (with my mom) the annual MOV Mother’s Day 5k & Kids’ races for 10 years raising money to support breastfeeding and birth in the Mid-Ohio Valley. My support includes prenatal breastfeeding education and birth classes, postpartum guidance, troubleshooting, and care through weaning, relactation or adoptive nursing, and nursing during pregnancy as well as nursing while babywearing, tandem nursing and nursing multiples.
Breastfeeding Clinic
FREE
I host a monthly Breastfeeding Clinic & Support Group in Parkersburg, WV on the 4th Saturday of every month (except December). Care during the clinic is free and provides group family-to-family support as well as one-on-one support from me as needed, offering many of the same services available as with private visits including babywearing and nursing in a carrier.
