how we help
Your family can benefit
A lactation specialist can provide valuable support:
Breastfeeding can be a challenging experience for new mothers. We can help identify and resolve common issues such as latch difficulty, low milk supply, engorgement, and how to learn your baby’s cues.
The postpartum period can be an emotionally and physically demanding time. Lactation specialists can provide emotional support and encouragement to new mothers as they navigate the ups and downs of early parenthood.
