Angelica Merzigian, BS, IBCLC

Knowing what to do when challenges come up with feeding and caring for your baby can be so overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be! Together we can make a plan that works for you and your baby to you get through any obstacles you might be facing. I specialize in infant oral functional assessment and work with families to optimize baby's feeding abilities. My support can include prenatal education and counseling, assistance with latching issues/discomfort, supplementation plans, pump setup, fitting and troubleshooting, guidance with an upcoming return to work, goal assessment, bottle refusal and guidance for weaning. I can help you sort through all of your feeding options and ensure that whatever you decide, the whole family is set up for success.
