MILKBUD INFANT FEEDING & PRENATAL

My vision is to help all parents gain confidence with the infant feeding experience by providing realistic practical, and non-judgmental support and education.

I have been a Registered Nurse in Labour and Delivery since 2010. I absolutely love providing care for moms and babies! The vast amount of false information, judgmental attitudes and online negativity surrounding infant feeding inspired me to achieve my designation as an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) in 2019.

I use my training, experience. and expertise to bring the best, non-judgmental, and empowering prenatal education and infant feeding support to my clients.

  • "I booked with Sheena out of desperation because my baby suddenly wouldn't feed at the breast; therefore, I quickly started pumping and realized my supply was low and realized I needed help. It was middle of the holiday season (booked with Sheena on Dec 27 but she wasn't available until Jan 4) but Sheena responded to my desperate plea for help over email to tie us over until Jan 4 when she could come by. She's helped significantly over the subsequent 3 months - always responding promptly to my many emails. Although my son is still not feeding at the breast (we are exclusively pumping now), Sheena helped educate me and I'm hoping for a better nursing experience with my future children. 10/10 recommend. Highly recommend you book in with Sheena BEFORE you have breastfeeding concerns so she can help set you off on the right foot."

  • “Sheena came to my house for a consultation, was attentive and able to provide so much information I didn”t know about breast feeding and so much more. After 2 weeks of implementing her suggestions, I can now feed my daughter with no pain. I can’t recommend her services enough!”

    - Sydney M.

  • “I can’t recommend Sheena highly enough! When I first contacted her, I was feeling desperate, exhausted, and in so much pain as I breastfed. Sheena responded promptly to my request and was incredibly thorough and professional throughout our first visit. She provided education, hands-on assistance, and made sure I was able to breastfeed in multiple different positions in my home, which was a game-changer for me! Because of her help, breastfeeding stopped feeling like torture and I began to actually be able to bond with my newborn instead of resenting him every time he needed to eat.

    I’m also impressed that Sheena continued to follow up with me via email and provide high quality support, education, resources, and ideas. Having this continued follow-up has been so helpful and reassuring!! Early motherhood is tough, but it’s a lot easier with Sheena on my team. 10/10 would recommend!”

  • “We attended a prenatal birth class and had an in home consultation with Sheena. She is so knowledgable and a true professional. She has a kind demeanour and answered all the questions we had as first time parents. I highly recommend Sheena and the services she offers.”

    - Megan M.

  • “I had a great experience with Sheena! I sought out her help as I was concerned about tongue ties and latch issues with my little one. Sheena conducted a weighted feed, did a thorough assessment for tongue/lip ties, checked my latch, and gave me a ton of helpful tips for breastfeeding positions, bottle feeding, etc. It gave me such peace of mind! Sheena was very professional and I would not hesitate to recommend her!”

    - Emily M.

  • “Sheena helped me at a time where I felt completely desperate. Not only did she validate my feelings in a friendly and professional manner, she provided me with help that was long term. She helped make a plan to deal with the issues I was facing, and thankfully it worked! It’s a great feeling to know that she is there whenever you need to reach out and that you’re in this journey together. I can’t thank her enough for making breastfeeding a completely different experience (in a positive way!) than I had started off with.”
