I know what you might be thinking. Lactation Consultants and bottles? We are infant feeding specialists and many of us have extensive training in bottle feeding.
That means we evaluate/assess function with bottle feeding
We can help with choosing bottles/ni***es
Navigating gas discomfort & distress
Troubleshooting long feeds
All the way to more complex issues like bottle refusal.

My blog goes into a deeper dive with some tips too!
Schedule your bottle skills consultation on my website at my www.cathywalkeribclc.com. I look forward to connecting!

Come join me for two fantastic courses chockful of information that will leave you feeling prepared and less anxious about your baby feeding journey.
I support all feeding choices. You can learn all about bottle feeding and/or breastfeeding in my courses.
In my Prenatal breastfeeding course, I cover what to expect the first month. We get into the latch, using your baby’s reflexes to feed well, evaluating if your baby is getting your milk, breast care and much more!

In the Pumping & Bottle feeding courses, I review bottle feeding positions, choosing bottles, evaluating your baby’s success and comfort. If you are pumping, you will find this section helpful. I review different pumps, wearables and table pumps, pumping technique, fl**ge fitting, and more.

I see parents who been given the shield just because of perceived anatomy. And this can cause problems if their baby is not latching correctly to the shield.
A ni**le shield comes with risks as well. Your baby may not be transferring milk effectively and it’s harder to tell when using a shield. I see a lot of pain and sore ni***es.
Sometimes we need to use a shield and they have their place. But not without a full assessment first.
Reach out for support on my website at cathywalkeribclc.com for full lactation consultation.

Families’ mental health is a passion of mine. I incorporate balance into any care plan I create with the parent’s help. We all have to put on our oxygen mask before we care for others.
I am really proud to have completed the certification in perinatal mental health.
Lactation care should be holistic and look at the whole family and emotional health.
