IBCLC Lactation Support in Outaouais & Ottawa

Looking for a lactation consultant in Gatineau, Chelsea, Wakefield, Cantley or Ottawa? I'm Jessica Maitland, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and postpartum doula. I support families with in-home and virtual breastfeeding, pumping and bottle feeding care, from prenatal preparation through weaning.

​

I can help with:

• Breastfeeding preparation during pregnancy

• Painful breastfeeding or sore nipples

• Baby won't latch or has difficulty latching

• Low milk supply and ways to increase milk production

• Pumping, hand expressing, and storing breast milk

• Flange fitting and nipple shields

• Bottle feeding, combo feeding, and bottle refusal

• Slow weight gain or concerns about whether your baby is getting enough milk

• Oversupply, engorgement, plugged ducts, and mastitis

• Tongue tie assessment and feeding support

• Returning to work while continuing to breastfeed

• Weaning from breastfeeding

​

My approach is evidence-based and deeply compassionate. I take the time to understand your goals, your experiences, and your baby — because feeding support is never one-size-fits-all.

 

In our work together, you can expect:​

• Thoughtful, thorough assessments

• Practical guidance you can implement right away

• Gentle encouragement without pressure or judgment

 

I believe feeding your baby should feel supported, sustainable, and enjoyable — not overwhelming or confusing.

 

No one should have to navigate feeding challenges alone. Support is available when you need it.
