Minna Valkeapää

I am an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and a midwife, and you are warmly welcome to meet me at Pikkujätti Itäkeskus.

I help families with all kinds of situations and challenges concerning breast-/chestfeeding, infant feeding and lactation. Reasons for booking a consultation with me may include, for example:

• any insecurity or worries considering breastfeeding
• nipple pain
• baby’s poor weight gain
• baby's breastfeeding related symptoms
• concerns about baby’s latch or possible tongue or lip tie; also post-operational treatment and check-up
• formula feeding, bottle feeding
• weaning from formula supplements
• concerns about milk production
• blocked milk ducts and mastitis
• returning to work/studies and continuation of breastfeeding
• pre-natal planning of breastfeeding.

Regardless of your situation, I will support you with competence and warmth, always individually with your specific needs and wishes in mind.

I also do home visits (in capital region) and online consultations. Read more about me and my services in imetysohjaajaminna.fi.
