Welcome
to the private practice of Amy Kesavan,
MS, RN, IBCLC Lactation Consultant
As an Registered Nurse and IBCLC (International Board of Lactation Consultant), I help new mothers establish and maintain the ability to feed their baby human milk. However, this process, while natural, is different with every child and for many women there are challenges which are difficult to figure out on your own without the assistance of a trained professional.
This is your personal experience between you and your baby, so you can’t compare it to anyone else. That is why each home visit will address your personal breastfeeding goals and help you to meet your individual expectations. The techniques you learn during your consultation will be personalized to the relationship between you and your infant. From providing insight into the biology behind the process to helping you be able to feed in various positions, your visit will result in the knowledge and understanding you need for a healthy and comfortable latch that benefits both mother and child.
