Who I am…
Hey, I’m Maddy!
I graduated from Nicholls State University with my Bachelors in Nursing Science in 2016. I started my career in nursing as a Well Baby Nursery Nurse because I have loved pregnant women and babies for as long as I can remember.
After having my own baby in 2018, I found out first-hand the struggles that sometimes come along with breastfeeding. During my breastfeeding journey I had the most amazing lactation consultants that patiently guided me through our struggles, that led me to breastfeeding my girl for 3 years! Having those Consultants there to help me work through everything and learn all about breast feeding, ignited a passion inside of me! I just knew I had to give other mothers the same opportunity I was given.
I received my IBCLC in 2019 and have mostly worked in the hospital setting. In the hospital I see both inpatient(right after delivery) and outpatients (patients come back to my office at the hospital after they’ve been discharged). Seeing patients after discharge has been so eye-opening to all that still has to be done / learned even after discharge. The moms that I see as outpatients rave about how helpful the visit is but I know leaving the house after having a baby can be quite a task, which is why I am now offering home visits! Coming to you in your own home takes some of the stress and pressure off of you and allows us to get more from the consult. If you’re interested in booking a consultation with me, please do not hesitate to reach out!
Services
Prenatal Consult
Our prenatal visits are built to cover the basics: positioning, latch, making milk, protecting a supply, choosing a pump, as well as any fears or concerns you may have.
Breastfeeding can be frightening whether it’s your first time or your fifth! Education is one of the best ways to combat fear.
Book a prenatal visit and lets put some of those fears to rest!
Lactation Consults
Once your sweet baby is here we can get to the fun stuff! Lactation consults are catered to you and your specific needs. I understand not all moms have the same goals; so, I always work diligently to create a plan catered to you and your specific breastfeeding goals! Whether it’s to review those basics, improve techniques, weighted feedings*, pumping, return to work, weaning and anything in between we can get you through it!
These consults can happen as often as you want and as many times as want. I will always do my best to keep you and your baby’s best interest at heart!
Weights
Continued weight checks are a simple and easy way to gain peace of mind and ensure we stay on the track to success.
**For weighted feedings we weigh your baby both before and after the feeding, my scale is then able to calculate the total volume transferred. These feedings give us some great insight on how things are going and allow us to create an individualized plan moving forward.
