Nipple pain is common, but not normal. If you are struggling with a painful latch, I can help you reach your goal of feeding your baby comfortably at the breast. Plus, a comfortable latch usually means your baby can access more milk. Win-win!

Prenatal Lactation Consultation

First time parent? I recommend one prenatal lactation consultation for you. Not your first time, but have a history of low milk supply or painful latch? Prenatal lactation consultations can help you sort out how to approach lactation with your new little one in order to avoid breastfeeding problems. We discuss how breastfeeding or chestfeeding can fit into your unique life, with its constraints and supports.

I can help you figure out what might be going on and manage your milk production. If your baby is not able to do full feedings at the breast yet, we can build a supplementation and action plan to help you and your baby get there. Oversupply is tricky, and you don’t have to manage it on your own. I can help you build a plan to keep both you and baby comfortable during and between feedings.

Introducing solid foods? Balancing your baby's diet so that it includes plenty of your milk and solid foods they need can be overwhelming. I'm here to help you protect your milk supply, develop routines that fit into your life, and refer you to evidence-based resources to inform this exciting time.

Weaning comfortably and safely is so important, and you deserve support and evidence-based information to do so. If you are ready to wean, I am ready to support you and provide a plan.

Happy Clients

I met with Katie for a prenatal lactation consultation and I am so glad I did! As a soon-to-be first time mom, I want to be as informed as I can prior to my baby's arrival. Katie went over all the supplies I bought, taught me how to hand express, and answered all my questions. I feel at ease knowing I have Katie for help once my baby is here.

Katie was beyond wonderful to work with. She is kind, knowledgeable and respectful. During a time when you are very vulernable, she is not judgmental and remained patient with me and all my questions. Katie goes above and beyond, and continues to be available at any point in the day by phone even weeks after my last appointment with her.
