Prenatally:

We offer prenatal breastfeeding education in the form of group in-person and online classes which focus on general breastfeeding education. Pricing varies. - We do not currently have any group classes scheduled at this time.

As well as, 1-on-1 prenatal prenatal consultations (often covered by insurance) where we dive more deeply into your health history and goals to determine a plan in the event you have any risk factors that may make early breastfeeding more challenging to prepare you more confidently ahead of time and prevent issues while providing general education as well.

Postpartum:

We offer in-home and virtual consultations postpartum to support you in the early days and weeks of breastfeeding. We can often come directly to you within 24-48 hours of you arriving home from the hospital or birth center. Research shows that early and proper breastfeeding support is a key pillar in long-term success.

FAQs

  • An IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant) is a healthcare professional with specialized training in breastfeeding and lactation support. They are considered the gold-standard in lactation support. They are certified through a rigorous process involving clinical hours, education, and a comprehensive board exam, making them the experts in lactation care and infant feeding. IBCLCs help both prenatally and postpartum by preparing new moms for breastfeeding, addressing latching issues, milk supply concerns, infant milk transfer difficulties, nipple pain, and supporting pumping or bottle-feeding families as well. They also assist in more complex situations such as oral function or tongue tie assessments, feeding premature or medically fragile babies, and navigating weaning when the time is right.

    Beyond physical challenges, IBCLCs provide emotional support and reassurance, helping new parents feel confident and heard during the often overwhelming postpartum period. Whether a mom is just starting out or facing specific feeding struggles later in their breastfeeding journey, an IBCLC offers expert, personalized guidance that can make a significant difference in both the baby's health and the mother's breastfeeding experience. Connecting with one early can prevent many common issues and offer vital support when it’s most needed.

  • Great question — and the short answer is: Yes, you will benefit from seeing an IBCLC, even if you're already working with an OB/GYN, midwife or pediatrician.

    OB/GYNs, midwives and pediatricians are essential for your and your baby’s overall health, but most do not receive in-depth training in lactation management the way an IBCLC does as a specialist in lactation and infant feeding specifically. While your physicians can offer general advice, they often refer patients to an IBCLC when there are specific breastfeeding concerns — like pain, low milk supply, latching problems, slow weight gain, or questions about pumping and bottles.

    An IBCLC specializes solely in lactation and infant feeding issues. They spend time observing feedings, doing hands-on assessments, and crafting personalized clinical care plans for lactation managment and infant feeding. If breastfeeding is something you want to pursue (or are struggling with), an IBCLC can be a crucial part of your care team — complementing, not replacing, your doctor or your baby’s pediatrician.
