SERVICES
What I Do
As an IBCLC I can help your family get settled into family life. Sometimes the journey into motherhood can be rocky or breastfeeding is just not as easy as you thought it would be.
LACTATION SUPPORT
As an IBCLC I offer a range of services that cover prenatal, initial consults (2hrs and yes that time goes quickly!) follow ups, weight checks, flange fittings, and a new homebirth oncall package. I offer home visits, telehealth, and office visits through Forrester Lactation in West Hartford. For insurance coverage please contact me.
PRENATAL BREASTFEEDING CONSULT
To get breastfeeding off to a good start the best thing you can do is schedule a prenatal consult. Not only do we establish a relationship but it's much easier to retain information and learn before the birth of your baby.
Contact me to learn more about all of the services that I offer.
LAUREN AKERS
After having my 2 boys, (now aged 17, 18) I was fascinated with birth and the postpartum period, and I became a certified birth and postpartum doula through Childbirth International (CBD, CPD) in 2008. Since then I have supported hundreds of families through pregnancy birth and the postpartum period.
I am happy to say after finishing my internship with Forrester Lactation I am now fully credentialed as an IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant). I will be offering my services at Forrester Lactation in Farmington. For insurance coverage and booking information please go to www.forresterlactation.com
I have lived all over the world from Australia, England, Singapore and now Connecticut, I love supporting diverse families from all over the world.
