Lactation Support

Nurturing your breastfeeding journey doesn’t have to feel overwhelming—I’m here to guide you every step of the way. Whether you’re preparing before your baby arrives, navigating those first days at home, or need ongoing support as your baby grows, I offer personalized lactation consultations tailored to your unique needs.

A Personal Story
When I was a newly pregnant mom, I remember looking for a class for my due date and finding it was completely full. I had no idea how I was going to feed my baby, and the worry felt overwhelming. That experience is why I became a lactation consultant—to make sure no parent feels lost or alone when it comes to feeding their baby. I know how scary and confusing it can feel, and I’m here to provide practical guidance and reassurance every step of the way.

Prenatal Lactation Consults
Preparing for breastfeeding starts before your baby is born. In prenatal sessions, we’ll discuss:

  • How to set yourself up for a successful latch and milk supply

  • Comfort measures and positioning

  • Pumping and storage basics

  • How to anticipate and handle common challenges

  • Lip and tongue tie awareness—how it can affect feeding and what to watch for

  • Building confidence and connecting with your baby even before birth

Postpartum Lactation Consults
After your baby arrives, I’m here to help you put your plans into practice. Postpartum support may include:

  • Hands-on guidance with latch and positioning

  • Troubleshooting low supply, oversupply, or nipple discomfort

  • Support for multiples, preemies, or special feeding needs

  • Lip and tongue tie evaluation and guidance

  • Pre- and post-release habilitation exercises for babies who have had a tie released

  • Advice for pumping, returning to work, or establishing routines

  • Emotional support and encouragement for you and your partner

Follow-Up Consults
Breastfeeding changes as your baby grows, and ongoing support can make all the difference. Follow-up visits ensure:

  • You and your baby are thriving

  • Any new challenges are addressed quickly

  • Adjustments to feeding, pumping, or routines are made as needed

  • Continued confidence in your breastfeeding journey

Every consultation is personalized, practical, and compassionate. My goal is that you feel empowered, supported, and confident in feeding your baby—because every parent deserves a positive and joyful breastfeeding experience.
