While most of the women we see tend to come in during the early postpartum period—often with newborns or younger babies—she can absolutely support families with weaning if that's part of their journey. With a background as a midwife, Robynne's core expertise lies in caring for mothers and babies in those first weeks and months. However, for those who are choosing to wean, or returning to work and looking to put a transition plan in place, Robynne can help create a tailored approach. This might include developing an expressing plan, discussing milk storage, and providing emotional support through the changes that come with weaning and returning to work.
