🤱 Breastfeeding doesn’t always come naturally, and that’s okay. Whether you’re experiencing latch difficulties, supply concerns, or just need reassurance, our lactation support team is here to guide you with compassion and evidence-based care.

Our Lactation Package includes a prenatal visit to prepare, a follow-up visit the week you return home from the hospital to help you get off to the best start, and a final visit before you return to work to assist with establishing a pumping schedule and preparing for your return to work.

We meet you where you are, providing personalized support so you can feel confident and informed on your feeding journey.

✨ Is your baby learning to self-soothe? ✨

We know how hard it is to pause when your baby fusses, but giving them gentle space to practice self-soothing can help them learn to fall asleep and stay asleep more peacefully.

🍼 What does self-soothing look like?
👶 Sucking on fingers
😴 Wiggling to get comfy
💤 Briefly fussing, then settling

It’s not about leaving your baby alone—it’s about supporting them as they grow.

Trust your baby, trust yourself, and know that you are doing a beautiful job. 💛
