Expecting twins and wondering if breastfeeding two babies is possible? Learn how milk supply works, tandem feeding, pumping, and how an IBCLC can help you prepare

Expecting twins and wondering if breastfeeding two babies is possible? Learn how milk supply works, tandem feeding, pumping, and how an IBCLC can help you prepare.

As an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) based in Chelsea, Quebec, I regularly help families throughout Outaouais and Ottawa navigate breastfeeding with evidence-based, compassionate support. If you're wondering whether it's time to book a lactation consultation, this guide can help.

For most of human history, new parents were surrounded by helpers—people who could recognize a good latch, offer a nourishing meal, and reassure them that what they were feeling was normal. Those supports are part of what made breastfeeding possible and sustainable. Today, we expect parents to learn from a 10-minute LC visit in the hospital, a handful of brochures, and late-night TikToks. We’ve replaced a village with a search bar—and then we ask why it feels so isolating.

At an in-home lactation consult, we practice breastfeeding in your own space, with your own things, the way you'll actually be doing it when I'm not there. Not only is this better for learning, but it's also so much easier than packing up your baby and driving across town to sit in a waiting room.

Concerned about low milk supply? Book a consult with me today, or start with these evidence-based strategies to increase milk supply.

You’ve probably heard it somewhere—maybe from a friend, your mom, or TikTok: “I ate Oreos, and it really boosted my supply!” An IBCLC explains whether there is any truth to this claim and why a tasty cookie might help sometimes.

A postpartum doula nurtures and empowers new parents, bolstering confidence and providing practical help with household tasks and baby care.
