Lactation Care
Our team of lactation consultants are all International Board-Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLC) & love sharing their expert knowledge with families. The goal of our care is to ensure that you feel supported and confident in feeding your baby, whichever way that may be.
We care for parents holistically, meaning we can see you in pregnancy as you prepare and postpartum as you navigate in real time. Our team offer home, clinic and telehealth visits so we can meet you where you are at.
