Breastfeeding provides essential nutrition for infants birth to one year and older. As with learning anything new, most breastfeeding mothers and babies (and dads too!) need some instruction and support during this learning period.
That's where we come in!
We have a high number of breastfeeding families. We will do our best to help you meet your breastfeeding goals. Any breastmilk you feed your infant is a gift of health for your child that lasts their lifetime.

We respect each family's feeding decisions. We do encourage moms to breastfeed exclusively or give only breastmilk for the first four months then continue to breastfeed and give solid foods until your baby is a year old.
We love babies and enjoy helping families learn how to breastfeed! We will help you as little or as much as you need. We provide in-office feeding evaluations for hands-on help as well as phone support for any questions you may have along your breastfeeding journey.
Some areas we can provide guidance include:
Positioning your baby at the breast
Latching
Caring for your breasts and nipples
Assessing milk transfer
Assuring adequate nutrition
Assembling and using a breast pump, including sizing for the right size flange
Storing milk
Returning to work/school while breastfeeding
Traveling and breastfeeding
Training a breastfeeding baby to a bottle
Teething while breastfeeding
Breastfeeding premature babies
Managing slow weight gain babies
Breastfeeding twins
Breastfeeding babies with special medical needs such as cleft palate, Down Syndrome, and heart conditions
Managing medications, medical tests or surgery while breastfeeding
