Feed and Thrive Blog
As a Calgary lactation consultant and registered nurse, I’ve supported hundreds of families through everything from NICU stays to latching struggles, pumping challenges, and starting 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 a space to share what I’ve learned—so you can feel informed, confident, and supported through every stage of feeding.
