Lactation and Feeding
Providing a holistic and individualized approach for expecting and new parents.
LACTATION
Prenatal Support
In our experience, the best way to get prepared for breastfeeding is to start before the baby arrives. We have found the more informed a parent is prior to the baby being born, the less stress and challenges they face during the early days of breastfeeding. Our prenatal consulting sessions allow us to review your feeding goals, answer your questions, and review solutions to common problems to prepare you for your breastfeeding journey. Learn more
