Wondering how breastfeeding, bottles, pumping, and formula can work together? Let's talk about it!
Hello! I'm Jessica Maitland, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). I offer in-home and virtual lactation support to families throughout the Outaouais and Ottawa.
Many of the families I work with want to combine different feeding methods, whether that means breastmilk and formula, breastfeeding and bottles, or some combination of all of these. But figuring out how it all works can feel overwhelming, especially when you're navigating targeted online ads, influencers disguised as experts, AI-generated summaries, and conflicting advice.
That's why I host this free, practical virtual class for parents!
We'll cut through some of the noise and cover the basics of combo feeding, including how breastfeeding, bottles, pumping, and formula can fit together. My goal is to help you understand your options and feel more confident making informed decisions for your family.
What to expect:
-
A practical introduction to combination feeding
-
An overview of how breastfeeding, pumping, bottles, and formula can work together
-
Evidence-based information from an IBCLC
-
A welcoming, judgment-free space to learn and ask questions
You don't need to have your feeding plan figured out before joining us. There is no one “right” way to feed a baby, and you deserve reliable information and support whatever your plans may be.
I look forward to meeting you and helping make feeding feel a little less overwhelming!
