Breastfeeding can be full of surprises—whether it’s your first or fourth baby! It’s incredibly common for new moms to feel frustrated or overwhelmed when breastfeeding doesn’t come as easy or natural as they anticipated.
We know how important it is for new moms to feel comfortable and confident during their breastfeeding journey. That’s why we’ve added a certified, in-house lactation specialist to help you and your baby be successful from the start.
Support is just a text or call away. Schedule an appointment with our friendly, experienced lactation specialist today.
With IBCLC certification, extensive nursing experience, and a mother’s perspective, our lactation consultants offer the perfect blend of professional training and personal insight to support nursing moms.
Is your baby having trouble staying awake to eat or refusing to finish a feeding? It can be hard to know what's typical. One visit with an expert is enough to provide guidance and reassurance to help new moms know they've got this!
Breastfeeding shouldn't be painful, yet it's a common concern for many new mothers. Addressing issues like latch problems, blockages, or poor positioning early on can help keep your breastfeeding journey on track as you had planned.
Painful nursing and low weight gain can often stem from an improper latch. Our experts are here to guide you and your baby, helping you both learn what a proper latch feels like, so you can move forward confidently and pain-free.
While true milk supply issues are rare, many moms worry about having a low milk production. Your consultation can help you quickly assess whether there’s a problem and guide you on the next steps so your baby is getting the nutrition they need.
