Feed and Thrive Blog
As a Calgary lactation consultant and registered nurse, I have supported hundreds of families through NICU stays, latching struggles, pumping challenges, and the start of solids. My years with Alberta Health Services and my work as an IBCLC have shaped how I approach care with clarity, compassion, and evidence-based guidance.
This blog is where I share what I have learned so you can feel informed, confident, and supported through every stage of feeding.
