Breastfeeding & lactation care

If your baby struggles to latch, does not latch completely, or causes nipple pain, a lactation consultant can assess your positioning and improve how your baby latches, leading to more comfortable and efficient feedings.

Whether you're concerned about not making enough milk – or making too much – a lactation consultant can evaluate your baby’s feeding patterns and guide you on how to regulate your milk supply.

If your baby isn't gaining weight as expected, a lactation consultant can work closely with your pediatrician to evaluate feeding effectiveness and hydration while offering strategies to increase your baby’s growth.

Painful breastfeeding, cracked nipples, and engorgement are not things a new mother should have to “push through.” A lactation consultant can help identify and fix underlying issues like poor latching, clogged milk ducts, or dermatitis.

Whether you are returning to work, exclusively pumping, or combo-feeding, a lactation consultant can assist you with pump setup, milk storage guidelines, and creating a pumping schedule.

Breastfeeding and lactation medicine specialists can help families who are adopting or have a non-gestational parent who wishes to chest-feed. A pre-natal visit to discuss options for inducing lactation can be helpful in these situations.

Babies with lip or tongue ties, cleft palate, prematurity, multiple births, or other challenging conditions may need specialized feeding plans. A lactation consultant can coordinate with your pediatric care team to adapt feeding strategies as needed.
