Lactation Consultant
Donna Edwards is a Lactation Consultant with nearly 40 years of experience supporting new parents and families through their infant feeding journeys. She offers compassionate, practical, and evidence-informed care that honours each family’s goals, values, and unique story.
Donna supports families who may be navigating breastfeeding challenges, pumping, milk supply concerns, combination feeding, formula support, re-lactation, weaning, or uncertainty around infant feeding. She understands that feeding a baby can feel emotional, vulnerable, and overwhelming, and she works alongside families to help them feel more confident, supported, and connected.
Her approach is gentle, collaborative, and empowering. With experience across hospital, home, and community settings, Donna brings a broad understanding of the many ways feeding challenges can show up and how they can be thoughtfully addressed. She believes there is no one “right” way to feed a baby, and that support should fit real life.
Donna can support families with:
- Breastfeeding initiation and early feeding challenges
- Latch difficulties, pain, or nipple trauma
- Low milk supply, oversupply, and pumping support
- Infant weight gain and feeding effectiveness
- Tongue tie and oral function concerns, in collaboration with other providers
- Supplementing, combination feeding, and formula support
- Re-lactation after illness, separation, or other interruptions
- Weaning and feeding transitions
- Emotional support around feeding stress or uncertainty
If you are feeling unsure, overwhelmed, or looking for compassionate feeding guidance, Donna is here to support you. We invite you to book a lactation consultation to take the next step toward feeling more confident and supported in your feeding journey.
