Lactation Counseling

Our Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC) is here to ensure you feel supported in your journey by understanding the full picture and looking at mom and baby together. We help address painful nursing, poor weight gain, and oral-motor incoordination. You’ll be met right where you are, with guidance that helps you move forward with confidence.

Is Lactation Support Right For You?

We support common lactation and infant feeding challenges, including:

​

  • Painful nursing or baby frequently popping off the breast

  • Poor milk transfer or not feeding enough

  • Poor weight gain in baby

  • Prolonged feeding times

  • Coughing or choking with feeds

  • Recurrent mastitis

​

If breastfeeding is your goal, we will work together to achieve that. We also believe fed is best.

Why Work With a Certified Lactation Counselor

Our Certified Lactation Counselor combines her background in speech therapy with expertise in oral structures and infant development, with advanced lactation training to provide expert and compassionate care. This unique blend also allows for a truly holistic approach, looking at both mom and baby together to understand what’s happening and create a plan that fits your family and your goals.

​

From the beginning, we look for underlying causes of common problems to address the root cause for lasting success.

 

You’ll have a trusted support person who helps you piece things together when concerns feel complex, get answers to your questions, and find solutions to breastfeeding problems.
