It's true, I, Melissa Ball, provide in-home private breastfeeding counselling as part of my post partum doula practice and breastfeeding counsellor studies. In the last four years I have helped countless women in Fort McMurray overcome their obstacles and continue on to a successful breastfeeding career with their child. Contact me by email: ppdoula@hotmail.com, or by phone: 780-747-5859 to make an appointment.
Feel like getting you and your baby out of the house? Come to Bosom Buddies, a free breastfeeding support group hosted by myself every third Thursday of the month at the Alliance Church* in Thickwood from 7-8pm. Please refer to my calendar page for time changes and cancellations.
My experience and knowledge in the following areas include but are not limited to:
- proper latching technique
- refusal of baby to latch to the breast
- getting baby back to the breast
- weaning of a nipple shield
- nipple and/or breast pain
- infants with slow weight gain
- a fussy breastfeeding baby
- weaning and the introduction of solid foods
*Neither Melissa Ball nor Mom2Mom Doula & Breastfeeding are affiliated with the practices of the Fort McMurray Alliance Church but do adhere to their policies in regarding the use of their space to host this free community progra
