Do you help with bottle feeding too?Yes — 100%.
Feeding support is not one-size-fits-all. I support:exclusive breastfeeding
exclusive pumping
combo feeding
formula feeding
donor milk and supplementation
My goal is a healthy baby and a supported parent, whatever feeding journey you choose.

Common reasons families book include:
painful latch or nipple damage
low milk supply or slow weight gain
oversupply, engorgement, leaking
pumping, returning to work, building a freezer stash
combo feeding or supplementing
nursing strikes, fussy feeding, frequent feeding
tongue tie concerns (and feeding support before/after release)
twins or prematurity feeding support
weaning support and transition planning
If you’re struggling, you don’t need to “wait and see.” You deserve support now.
-
Prenatal support is ideal between 28–36 weeks, but it’s helpful at any point in pregnancy.
It’s especially helpful if you:had feeding challenges with a prior baby
have PCOS, thyroid concerns, diabetes, breast surgery history
are expecting multiples
want pumping education or a return-to-work plan
just want to feel confident before baby arrives.

Yes—overnight support may be available on a limited basis.
Overnight care is designed to help families rest while receiving newborn and feeding support. -
How long are appointment
Most lactation consults are 60–90 minutes, depending on complexity and goals.
Follow-ups are often shorter, and virtual check-ins are a great option after the first visit. -

In-home visits are available within my local service radius, and virtual visits are available anywhere.
If you’re unsure that you’re not in range, reach out—I’m happy to confirm. -
