Abby McKenzie's Unique Practice
Abby takes a full-body and family-centered approach when educating and supporting her clients on their feeding journey. She is passionate about finding the route cause and creating sustainable feeding plans that respect household dynamics and individual breast, chest or bottle feeding goals. Abby strives to create community connection and parent-to-parent support groups/relationships. Although her practice is evidence-based, she encourages parents to follow their intuition and question advice that does not feel right for them and their families.

Specific areas of interest/specialty include: increasing milk supply, suck dysfunction and tethered oral tissues, nutrition during lactation, (breast)feeding your baby with allergies or suspected food intolerances, optimizing sleep through feeding, weaning or back-to-work while breastfeeding plans, building caregiver confidence.
About Abby McKenzie
Abby became an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) shortly after completing a B.Sc in Nutritional Sciences at The University of Guelph in 2019. She has since done training with CAPPA and DONA as a Lactation Educator, Labor & Postpartum Doula, as well as a Sleep & Wellbeing Specialist (through Isla-Grace).
Abby currently offers lactation & feeding support and education in Guelph and surrounding areas through her business Baby Glo, at The WOMB Guelph, and at Family Dental Centre. Her time at Family Dental Centre with Dr. Mandeep Johal has allowed her to gain expertise in supporting infants with tethered oral tissues and suck dysfunction.
