how we help

Your family can benefit

Baby Crawling On Bed

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.

What Clients are saying about L & M Lactation

I really can’t say enough nice things about Leah. I knew she truly cared how I was doing – not just that my baby was gaining on the proper growth curve. Leah gave me lots of useful assistance and also just let me vent about how hard things were. She’s a mom and she truly gets it and was just there for me! When she hadn’t heard from me in a while she sent me an email to check on me and my baby!! I will absolutely never go anywhere else.

I would highly recommend L&M Lactation!
They were able to get me in for an appointment very quickly with the option of an office visit or a visit in my home. I worked with Leah in their beautiful office. Leah gave me all the confidence I needed to succeed with breastfeeding as a second time mom. Thank you L&M!
