Breastfeeding and Infant feeding support in Halifax Regional Municipality, Nova Scotia

Nourishing Babies and Empowering Families

While the love we have for our baby comes naturally, the intricacies of nourishing them can sometimes be a steep learning curve.

Welcome and I’m so glad you found me!

Feeding babies can be hard work!! For many parents, it feels like the hardest thing you’ve ever done. Know that you are not alone.

For over two decades, I have had the privilege of working intimately with countless families providing expert guidance related to infant feeding, while holding space for those difficult, emotional conversations.

I will provide you with compassionate, non judgmental support so BOTH you and baby thrive in this journey together. I am excited to work with you and your little one to ensure you meet all your feeding goals.

But amidst the struggle lies an unspoken strength, an unbreakable bond and a deep sense of empowerment.

Dawn is an experienced maternity nurse and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), who has been providing invaluable support to families for over 30 years at the IWK Health Centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia. With her extensive knowledge and experience, Dawn has become a trusted and compassionate resource for new parents as they navigate the beautiful yet challenging journey of breastfeeding and early parenthood.

Whether you are just learning to latch your baby, or struggling with the complexities of sore nipples, engorgement/mastitis, oral ties, slow weight gain, low milk supply/over supply or bottles feeding struggles, please reach out

Her gentle guidance and support have gotten me through every obstacle I've encountered in 8 months of breastfeeding. Her continued research on all things breastfeeding combined with her many years as an RN and LCN (lactation consultant nurse), make her an expert and my number one choice when I need any breastfeeding advice. I absolutely cannot recommend her enough."
