What Makes a Private Consultation Different

In a private breastfeeding consultation, we take time to understand your situation fully and offer calm, expert guidance. You’ll walk away with practical tools and more confidence, no matter where you are in your feeding journey.

  • Deep Listening & Personalized Care

    We start by understanding your story, including your feeding goals, concerns and what has or has not worked so far, so the support truly fits you.

  • Whole-Family, Whole-Baby Approach

    Feeding doesn’t happen in isolation. We consider latch, positioning, milk transfer and how both you and your baby are doing overall.

  • Evidence-Based Guidance You Can Trust

    You’ll get clear, research-informed support (without judgment or pressure), so you can make informed decisions for your family.

One-on-One Breastfeeding Support That Meets You Where You Are

Every feeding journey is different. Sometimes, you just need someone who will listen, understand and guide you without judgment. Whether you’re a first-time parent or navigating new challenges with your second or third baby, a private breastfeeding consultation offers the time, space, and expertise to work through it together.

This is a private in-home consultation. Maxine comes to the address you provide when booking.

In your session, you’ll share your story with Maxine. Together, you’ll look closely at your baby’s feeding behaviour, your body’s response and any physical or emotional concerns that may be affecting feeding. You’ll have the chance to ask questions, share what’s been working (or not), and leave with a plan that feels manageable and realistic for you.

This consultation is ideal for a wide range of needs, including:

  • Uncertain latch or discomfort or pain with feeding
  • Concerns about milk supply
  • Mixed feeding or supplementing
  • Rebuilding confidence after a tough start
  • Feeding after NICU admission, tongue tie release, or want to ‘just breastfeed’
  • Emotional overwhelm and need for reassurance

As a registered nurse and certified IBCLC, Maxine brings both clinical insight and real-world compassion to every session. You won’t just receive tips. You’ll have a trusted partner who wants to help you thrive.

Anything related to feeding your baby! Common topics include latch issues, milk supply, pain during nursing, feeding schedules, combination feeding, or even emotional overwhelm. This is your time to ask questions and get clear, calm support.

The Health Services provides important early feeding support, during first days after birth. However many moms may not receive the important tailored approach that is needed, you may not have been able to attain a comfortable latch, and may have been offered an easy fix for your challenges. This consultation goes deeper. With more time, one-on-one attention, and personalized care from an experienced nurse and IBCLC, we can explore complex concerns and develop a plan that’s truly tailored to you.

Many extended health plans do reimburse for lactation consultant services (IBCLC), or RN care, but coverage can vary. Be sure to check with your provider to confirm what’s included.
