Virtual Lactation Consults for Families Across Canada

All virtual lactation consults are offered via secure video and include practical, realistic guidance you can use immediately — no pressure, no judgment, just thoughtful IBCLC support. Families anywhere in Canada can book.

Virtual Lactation Consult

60 minutes | $120

 

​This is a full, comprehensive lactation consult for families anywhere in Canada who want in-depth support and a clear plan moving forward.

​

We’ll take the time to talk through your full feeding history, concerns, and goals. During the visit, I’ll observe a feeding (at the breast and/or bottle), assess latch, positioning, milk transfer, pumping or bottle feeding mechanics, and answer your questions in real time. You’ll leave with personalized, evidence-based recommendations that fit your baby, your body, and your life.

 

Virtual lactation consults are best for:

  • Feeding challenges

  • Painful or stressful feeds

  • Low milk supply, oversupply, or pumping questions

  • Bottle refusal, combo feeding, or formula supplementation

  • Anyone who wants compassionate, expert IBCLC support ​

Virtual Lactation Check-in 

30 minutes | $75

​

This 30-minute virtual lactation check-in offers focused IBCLC support for families anywhere in Canada who have quick questions, need reassurance, or want help with minor feeding adjustments.

​

This shorter online visit is ideal when you don’t need a full reassessment but want expert guidance on a specific concern. We’ll address one or two priorities and make sure you feel confident about next steps.

​

Best for:

  • Quick breastfeeding or pumping questions

  • Bottle feeding or pumping tweaks

  • Reassurance between visits

  • Short, targeted virtual IBCLC support​

Virtual Lactation Consult FAQ

  1. What do you need for a Virtual Lactation Consult? A phone, tablet or computer with a working camera and microphone, a quiet spot, and your baby, bottles, or pump nearby.
     

  2. Who can book a Virtual Lactation Consult? I offer virtual consults to families throughout Canada, including Quebec, Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, and so on.
     

  3. Is a virtual consult as effective as in person? We can accomplish quite a bit with a virtual consult! We'll review your feeding history, current challenges and goals, assess your baby's latch and milk transfer, review your baby's weight history (if documented and provided) and help you make a plan to address any challenges. The goal is to help you move closer to your feeding goals.
     

  4. Can you see my baby's latch by video? Yes, I can! Especially if you have a helper or support person with you for the call. They can move the camera to different angles so I can see your baby's latch from all sides.
