Baby’s First Year

The online program for breastfeeding moms who want to make enough milk so they can breastfeed stress-free for as long as they want no matter the age of their baby

Motherhood is a roller coaster

Constantly worrying if you’re doing it right. Second guessing yourself after a comment you read online. It can feel lonely. Especially when you’re breastfeeding

And it’s really easy to say "I'll just go with the flow"

but then the "flow" ends up being so hard and confusing that you decide to stop breastfeeding and feel guilty about it later

I know you want the best for your baby!

✔️ You want them to be healthy and happy

✔️ You want to feel like you’re doing the right things for them

But also...

✔️ You want to give them the best nutrition

✔️ You want to have the beautiful bond you imagine with them

✔️ You really want to be able to breastfeed your baby for as long as possible

But what about the best for you?

Of course you want all of these things! You're already an amazing mom by wanting the best for your baby but what about you? It can be HARD to ask for help when we feel like we’re supposed to know what we’re doing or have it all figured out

That’s why the Baby’s First Year program provides the safe space you need to ask all your questions and get the practical solutions you need to breastfeed your baby from first drop to last

🤍 Through the challenges like latching, supply and pumping

🤍 Through heading back to work

🤍 Through starting solids

🤍 And even through weaning because you should still be supported as your breastfeeding journey ends

Do you want to...

Feel more confident about breastfeeding your baby as they get older and start eating and sleeping differently?

Experience a comfortable latch every time and learn how to troubleshoot if it’s painful at any stage?

Know how to make enough milk for your baby whether you're nursing, pumping or doing both?

Be able to fully enjoy life with your baby and feel like you’re doing a great job?

Then I would love to invite you into the Baby’s First Year program

This is the place for you...

💜

If you have a newborn and are asking yourself “why didn’t anyone tell me this?!” daily

💜

If your baby has you second guessing “is this normal?” and asking yourself if you might be doing something wrong

💜

If you’re heading back to work soon and want more than anything to be able to keep providing your milk to your baby (and keep your supply up too!)

💜

If you're currently pregnant and you've been focused (let's face it, overwhelmed) with prepping for labour and birth and have pushed learning about breastfeeding off to the side

💜

If you're worried, stressed out or confused and Google is just making it worse (and let’s not mention that your doctor just keeps saying everything is fine)

💜

If you want the BEST chance at breastfeeding your baby for as long as your heart desires, this is the place for you to be

If even just one of those describes how you're feeling right now, I would love to help you because I've been there too

As a new mom, I had no idea how hard it was to actually BE A MOM. I struggled with a lot postpartum including breastfeeding in the beginning and its the reason I’m here to support you today

What I didn’t understand as a FTM was just because breastfeeding is natural, doesn’t mean it comes naturally. I needed help in order to make my breastfeeding journey work

And now I’m here to change your breastfeeding and postpartum experience for the better. You should have support ANYTIME you need in your breastfeeding journey

So what's inside Baby’s First Year?

First, you’ll find all of the classes and courses I’ve spent the last several years teaching new moms

  • Preparing for Breastfeeding

  • Perfecting Your Pumping

  • Overcoming Obstacles

  • Maximizing Your Milk Supply

  • Breastfeeding and Back to Work

  • Starting Solids

  • Weaning With Love

Colostrum. Supplementing. Pumping. Nipple Pain. Plugged Ducts. Back to Work. Starting Solids. Mastitis.

That's a lot to sort through and solve your own! I'll take you step by step through each one of these (and more!) to help you feel more calm and confident. The program includes short videos (most 10 mins or less) and longer classes to help you through all of it!

Second, you’ll find community

Motherhood can feel lonely. Especially when you’re breastfeeding. Constantly worrying if you’re doing it right. Second guessing yourself after a comment you read online.

No ones breastfeeding journey is exactly the same as another but all mothers share in their love of their babies.

The recorded classes have an interactions feature to share all the ups and downs of your mothering journey as well as pick my brain for answers to your questions like

  • How do I get my breastfed baby to stop biting?

  • Do I offer solids after breastfeeding or before?

  • What can I do about my slacker boob?

  • How should I start night weaning?

  • Should I be worried about my baby spitting up?

(You get the idea 😉)

Finally, you’ll have me for support. An International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, Perinatal Nutrition Expert and mom of 3

I've helped many women successfully continue their breastfeeding journey through challenges like low milk supply, painful latches, balancing back to work and starting solids. I've also guided many more through the emotional process of weaning their babies and ending their breastfeeding journeys.

Breastfeeding isn't always easy. And it can feel really lonely and confusing to try and sort out on your own

That’s why I created this program to help new moms like you you feel relaxed, find peace of mind and feel confident and empowered at ANY stage in your breastfeeding journey

 “Alex was extremely helpful in the first few weeks of having my newborn. She was knowledgeable, patient and calm. She was able to provide excellent information and pieces of advice to make breastfeeding more comfortable for myself and my little one. Thank you Alex!” 

-Kayla S.

"Alex asked many questions and helped me not only identify my breastfeeding goals, but also educated me on tips for a better latch giving me tangible things to try and information about what was happening and what a proper latch is. Happy to share that I have no more pain :). I would highly recommend!"

How it works

  1. Purchase Baby’s First Year! Check your inbox for a welcome email

  2. Log into the program dashboard and have a look around at all the videos and resources

  3. Begin wherever it feels best for you. The online videos are designed to be watched in ANY order. Take the action steps suggested in the videos and the guides.

  4. Just start. We’re not about perfection We’re about real life. Watch the videos you can, when you can. Because what’s most important is you showed up for YOU and your baby.

Waiting until you're struggling and then Googling at 3am leads to even more stress, anxiety and confusion

You can have an enjoyable experience breastfeeding, even through all the ups and downs, when you decide to ask for help

And I don’t mean crowdsourcing Facebook groups and watching TikTok videos

I created this program to help make postpartum and breastfeeding easier for moms so you can enjoy more of the newborn period with your little one

AND then when the fog lifts, you’re also surrounded with the community you need to help you through going back to work, starting and solids and eventually weaning your little one

Baby’s First Year is filled with real-life information you need to help you understand your body and your baby

There's even pictures of baby poop and trust me, you'll thank me for them 😂

You are worthy of an enjoyable breastfeeding journey

You deserve to feel confident when it comes to feeding your baby.

Inside Baby’s First Year you will ditch the overwhelm and stress and stop second guessing yourself

 Don’t wait any longer. I invite you to join me inside Baby’s First Year

How it feels to work with me

"She takes the time to listen to your questions, concerns, needs and wants in such a caring and compassionate manner. Alex provided me with the knowledge, guidance, helpful tools and a daily plan to put me on the right path to achieve my goal of exclusive breastfeeding"

-Megan

"Alex has been a phenomenal resource for not only me, but also my husband in supporting my breastfeeding journey. I can’t imagine doing this without the help of an IBCLC and will always recommend Alex!"

-Stephanie

I have felt so comfortable discussing my concerns with Alex – she is open to all questions and has answers that are evidence-based as well as based on personal experience. Alex’s calm reassurance got me through some difficult weeks at the beginning of my breastfeeding journey, and she continues to support me as my little one grows and changes. I highly recommend her! 

-Lauren

IMAGINE YOURSELF...

Cuddling with your baby, getting ready for a nursing or pumping session feeling relaxed, calm and collected (even rested!) 

No more crowdsourcing answers online or time spent watching reels trying to figure out what to do.

This work is my passion and my purpose and I am so excited to support you!

How it feels to work with me

“Highly recommend Alex if any mommas are needing breastfeeding support!! She was so personable, and made me feel very comfortable on our Zoom meetings! We were at a roadblock dealing with thrush, pain, shallow latch, mastitis, and a lip & tongue tie. Alex was incredibly knowledgeable and helped us through each issue. We are so grateful for her, and feel like we can now continue on this journey!” 

-Kayla

“I came to Alex when I experienced nipple pain in my left breast. I was worried that the pain would cause a decrease in my supply, so I was desperate for a consult. I would highly recommend anyone to reach out to her for breastfeeding support” 

-Grace

"Alex has been amazing to work with. She is kind, patient, and looks at many options to help you through your journey. My baby was having lots of issues with breastfeeding and I worked with Alex to try to make things better. With our work she explored different options and then it became apparent she needed surgery to release her lip and tongue tie. Alex’s support through such a tough time has been amazing and I’m so grateful for her help"
