Birthing Since Forever Maternal Care

03/16/2026

There are so many aspects of my work that are enjoyable. 🥰

Last week I got to teach online which I adore and I got to help a sweet 18-day old to breastfeed. However I also got to do a prenatal breastfeeding education session in a client's home.

She purchased just the prenatal appointment with no visits after the birth. I have had numerous women do that over the years and I am always delighted to set someone up for success with a personalized education session. I want those Mamas to know what to expect and to feel confident as they get started with nursing their brand new baby.

I leave them with handouts, send an email with lots of videos and information and of course they know they can call me for any basic questions before or after baby comes.

I wish this family the best of luck with their precious little one who is due this week! 👶🏻

Last week brought a 3.5 hour breastfeeding class, a breastfeeding visit with a sweet one month old, and a lovely repeat client having me come help baby #2 with breastfeeding. 🥰

What will this week bring?

Seriously. I never know! 🤣

Today I was off to a follow-up appointment!

Not every Mom needs one, in fact most don’t. My first visit is very comprehensive and detailed and I offer follow-up by phone and email for as long as is needed. So I stay in touch with some Moms for quite a while.

But occasionally a Mom wants me to do another in-person visit and we can see what has changed, review what we have done so far and create a new plan together of how best to proceed.

We did that today and it was a true pleasure to work with this family again! 🥰

Guilty! 😂

How about you? Do you do this as well?

Our bodies are so wise!

Even if the Mama isn’t exposed to the illness herself but her baby is (maybe being cared for by someone else for the day), she will begin to make antibodies to something her baby was exposed to within 4 hours.

I am relaxing after sending off my first care plan of 2026. ☺️

I saw an adorable little 10 day old boy and his parents today. They got to experience watching him self latch and nurse for the very first time! 🥰🥰🥰

This Boxing Day morning it was cold and snowing but I had someone reach out for breastfeeding help so…off I go!

I often work on various special days of the year because babies don’t get the memo that it is a holiday! 😂

I definitely agree with the first 4!! Have seen it many times and couldn’t agree more! 😃

I have such a neat job…but it it does require a lot of driving! I laugh that almost ALWAYS clients are a half hour away. It’s forever exciting to have someone call from right in my area of Edmonton.

This weekend I was worried about driving 36 min each way on the awful roads. But I made it safely there and back and the family was such a pleasure to work with!

Their tiny 10 day old girl wasn’t nursing well and we made some changes and they are already seeing improvements!

Slippery roads can’t stop this lactation consultant from helping a cute baby breastfeed better!

This morning during the busy morning rush my 3 year old said: “Watch out for the bucket Mom!! My baby threw up TWO times last night!!”

Stomach Virus 2025. I can laugh about it now as our house has been good and healthy for over a week.

At least she seems to be an attentive Mommy? 😜
