Basics of Body Feeding
Having been a mother that chose to body feed, I know the hard work and dedication that comes with having a tiny human tethered to you constantly, pumping, storing breast milk, and still trying to incorporate self-care into your daily routine. I can assist in navigating the world of body feeding and if necessary, connect you with professionals (IBCLC and Pediatric Dentists) to best support your lactation goals.
Vital Records
Are you having a homebirth or a Birthing Center birth? Did you know that you have to file for your child's Birth Certificate and SSN on your own?

I can assist you in navigating these steps to secure your child's identification.
