My name is Kylie Field. I am an International Board Certifield Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). I am also a certified Infant Massage Instructor (IAIM - International Association of Infant Massage). I serve families in the greater Halifax area, Nova Scotia. I trained as a Registered Nurse in South Africa, in a comprehensive program that included General Nursing, Midwifery, Psychiatry and Public Health, and moved to Canada in 1995. Since 2009, I have used my love of supporting families in the postpartum period as a Postpartum Doula and since 2016, as a Board Certified Lactation Consultant. I have been privileged to be able to support many new Moms feel confident in their mothering role.
I am experienced and well educated in breastfeeding and infant care. I provide caring, individualized support and nurture the whole family as they integrate the newborn into their lives. As a Lactation Consultant, I work together with the parents to come up with a workable plan to help them and their baby have a positive and successful breastfeeding experience. I have knowledge of postpartum maternal physical and emotional needs, and all aspects of newborn care. I have done further training in Cranial Nerve Dysfunction in the precrawling baby, tongue tie assessment and oral sucking exercises for infants and TummyTime™ Method. I do not give medical advice, but am able to make and suggest appropriate referrals within the community. I have extensive experience and further training in thethered oral tissues (tongue and lip ties). We will come up with a plan which will include oral exercises, referral to pediatric chiro or osteo and referral to the tongue tie release providers in the community.
