Breastfeeding can be a challenging journey for some individuals, and our goal with our new breastfeeding support team consisting of Megan and Claudia, two International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs) is to provide continued support and care for as long as you need. Because of this, if after your initial consultation you still have lingering questions or concerns, we offer as many follow up consultations as needed.

Our International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs) believe that the best breastfeeding support is the support that is right for you. We have clients who have varying degrees of goals relating to their breastfeeding journey or a concern that needs a but more guidance before the baby arrives. So, we offer prenatal consultations where our IBCLCs will travel to your home, and provide the support, guidance, and education that you need.
