Did you know:
​
in the US 83.9% of women initiate breastfeeding after birth.
By 3 months postpartum that number drops to 46.3%.
By 6 months postpartum that number drops to 25.8?​
​
These numbers aren't dropping because women are failing, they're dropping because women aren't receiving early and consistent support.
​
Did you know that preparing for breastfeeding BEFORE your baby arrives will give you the best chances for a positive breastfeeding experience and outcome?
​
Did you know that women who prepare for breastfeeding BEFORE birth go into their birth experiences feeling more prepared, confident and empowered?

Need answers to all your breastfeeding questions?
Our virtual visit is perfect for you! Whether you're facing milk production challenges, pumping dilemmas, general discomfort, or need guidance in bottle feeding, we've got you covered. Plus, we can address your concerns about building or increasing milk supply. And if you've had a previous in-person consultation, a follow-up virtual visit can provide the support you need.

Struggling with breastfeeding challenges?
Our in-person visit is designed specifically for you. If you're dealing with severe pain, nipple trauma, or low milk production affecting your baby's growth, our specialist is here to help. We'll assess factors such as your baby's latch, anatomical issues, etc. You'll learn correct latch techniques, receive pain-relieving and healing strategies, and get referrals if necessary. With our in-person visits, we can address general to complex latching questions, provide solutions for nipple pain and damage, and guide you through challenges like flat/inverted nipples and nipple shields. Trust us to support you on your breastfeeding journey.
