Lactation Support
Being there for families navigating the tender, nuanced early days of feeding their baby is one of the things I love to do most. I find that early support from someone caring and knowledgeable can drastically change the trajectory of the feeding relationship for the better. I provide in- home lactation visits for new families, private prenatal lactation education, and community classes. If you’re struggling with feeding your baby, have questions about supply, your nipples, your baby’s oral anatomy, or something just doesn’t feel quite right, I’d love to be there for you.
