At Milk+Honey Lactation & Infant Feeding, we know that every parent’s journey is unique, and every baby’s needs are different.
That’s why our approach is personalized, compassionate, and rooted in evidence-based care. We’re here to support families through every stage of infant feeding — from prenatal education and newborn latch guidance to pumping, bottle support, tandem feeding, and navigating the return-to-work transition.

Our goal isn’t just to solve problems — it’s to empower parents with knowledge, confidence, and reassurance. We take the time to listen, answer your questions, and walk alongside you in a way that honors your family’s rhythm and values. Whether you’re feeding exclusively at the breast, pumping, using bottles, or combining methods, we meet you where you are with guidance that’s practical, thoughtful, and full of heart.

At Milk+Honey, we combine clinical expertise with genuine care. Every visit, virtual or in-person, is designed to leave you feeling supported, confident, and equipped with the tools you need. Our team loves what we do, and it shows in how we connect with every family we serve — answering questions, troubleshooting challenges, and celebrating wins, big and small.

If you’re looking for infant feeding support that’s knowledgeable, kind, and tailored to you, we’re here. 💛 You can self-book a visit in just a few minutes at www.milkandhoneylactation.com
and choose a time that fits your day. We can’t wait to support you and your little one on this journey!

You don’t have to choose between taking care of your mental health and continuing to breastfeed. 💛
Both matter deeply — and with the right guidance, they can coexist.
If you’re feeling torn about medication safety or worried about your milk, let’s chat.
You deserve to feel good and feed your baby the way you want.

Did you know that your baby’s tummy is small in those early days? That means they need small, frequent feedings! Just because your little one can take 3-4 ounces in a bottle, doesn’t mean that’s what they should be eating at every feeding. 🍼✨

👉 How much are they eating?
In the first few weeks, your baby typically drinks just 1-2 oz per feeding. On average a breastfed infant drinks 25-30 ounces MAX in 24 hours from approx 4 weeks on. Why? Because breastmilk changes + adapts to your wee one’s needs.

👩‍⚕️ Fun fact: Babies have super small stomachs, so their feedings are more frequent but smaller in size. Their bodies are working hard to grow + develop, so those frequent snuggles + feedings are SO important!

🍼Feeding specialists + providers:
Just because a parent tells you their newborn baby CAN drink 3-4 ounces in a bottle doesn’t mean this is what they should be taking, nor is this an indicator of what they should transfer from the breast. Often bottles are too fast in flow + proper bottle-feeding positioning is not being utilized. This being said, bottles are not a good indicator for educating a parent on intake or comparing what “should” be transferred at the breast. Baby’s reflexes tell them to suck when an object is in their mouth + to swallow when liquid is in their mouth to protect their airway. Babies can control flow better at the breast + flow changes throughout the feed. Basing a care plan on baby’s intake at a bottle creates unrealistic expectations of a mother’s milk supply, unnecessary supplementation, unnecessary triple feeding, + the risk of a mother’s breastfeeding journey.

✨ Proudly Neurodivergent ✨

Neurodiversity is not a flaw, a deficit, or a disorder to be “fixed.”
It is a valid and beautiful way of existing in the world.

Neurodiverse brains aren’t broken—they’re wired differently.
That difference brings creativity, honesty, innovation, and perspective the world needs.

We reject the narrative of deficiency.
We celebrate the truth: neurodivergence is diversity, not disorder.
