When should I seek lactation support?

Families may benefit from lactation education both before and after birth. Many parents seek support during pregnancy to feel more prepared, while others reach out during postpartum for hands-on guidance and reassurance.

Do you only support breastfeeding?

No. We support families with a variety of feeding goals and approaches, including breastfeeding, pumping, bottle-feeding, and combination feeding.

What if feeding feels stressful or overwhelming?

That’s incredibly common. Our role is to provide reassurance, education, and compassionate support so families feel less alone during the process.

Can partners be involved in lactation education?

Absolutely. Feeding support often works best when partners and support people feel informed and involved as well.

What is lactation education?

Lactation education provides families with information, guidance, and practical support surrounding infant feeding and breastfeeding.

Our goal is to help families:

better understand newborn feeding
feel more confident with breastfeeding and pumping
navigate common feeding challenges
reduce stress and overwhelm
receive compassionate, judgment-free support
make informed decisions about feeding goals

We believe feeding support should feel empowering, personalized, and emotionally supportive. Families receive guidance from Chloe Kelley, a Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC) with five years of experience and more than 96 hours of specialized lactation education. Chloe is currently working toward becoming an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), the highest clinical credential for healthcare professionals specializing exclusively in breastfeeding and human lactation care, ensuring families receive evidence-based support tailored to their unique feeding goals.
