What is a lactation consultant?

A lactation consultant is a health professional specializing in breastfeeding and providing human milk to infants. You can consult them during pregnancy, right after birth, or months into breastfeeding. They are especially helpful in the early weeks when both mother and baby are learning to nurse. Breastfeeding offers numerous benefits, but challenges like nipple pain or low milk supply can arise. Lactation consultants help address these issues, improving the chances of successful breastfeeding for as long as you choose.

What lactation consulting services are available?

Our services include breastfeeding support and education, addressing issues like clogged ducts, mastitis, thrush, oversupply, and low milk supply. We also manage health conditions affecting lactation, such as diabetes, thyroid disease, PCOS, and anemia.

We screen for postpartum depression to ensure mental and physical well-being and plan to include an in-office postpartum counselor in the future. Personalized counseling sessions help mothers overcome breastfeeding challenges and support their return to work.
