Erica can also offer an experienced perspective for feeding. To date, she has almost 4 years of feeding experience. Erica has personally used a SNS (Supplemental Nursing System), spoon method, syringe & tube method. She has also had to supplement, and use lactation medicine/aids in her lactation journey.
Erica understands the importance of supportive collaboration within the healthcare system. Her role is one as an educator and counsellor, NOT a Lactation Consultant. However, Erica can appropriately refer clients to a Lacation Consultant or other medical professional. Lactation Educators are not qualified to offer medical advice or suggest that families act against medical advice.
If you or your family are interested in lacation education please book with Erica Pisciotto.

Lactation Consultation
If this is the first time I am seeing you and your baby this is the appointment for you.
We will discuss how things have gone since our last visit, do a weight check to see how baby is growing and then do another weighted feed (especially if supply or weight gain were primary concerns).

This private class is a chance to get all of your questions answered. We will follow a
