SERVICES
What I Do
As an IBCLC I can help your family get settled into family life. Â 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.
