Nurturing Traditions Lactation Services

Nurturing Traditions Lactation Services Leah Segura, IBCLC, RLC offers International Board Certified Lactation Consulting Services to famili I have over 700 hours of continuing education.

I've been working with lactating families in the Midland, MI area for over 15 years. My children are now in their teenage and adult years, but all were breastfed for various lengths of time and through many struggles. Even before I had my own children, I had a passion for working with parents and their babies. My education and experience in social work focused on infant mental health and early chi

ld development. I often tell my clients I am NOT the "breastfeeding police." Breastfeeding looks like many different things for many different families, whether it involves exclusive breastfeeding, pumping, bottles, formula, donor milk, etc. My goal is to provide you with the information and support you need to make the best decisions for your family, meet your own feeding goals, and establish a rewarding, confident relationship with your baby. As I have with many clients before you, I will provide a non-judgmental, nurturing, and professional approach to serving your family. Professional growth and continuing education are vital to improve patient outcomes. Areas of specialty include low milk supply, infant colic/reflux, tongue and lip tie/oral rehabilitation, bottle feeding, weaning, and working while lactating.

I’m currently in a lecture with Jennifer Tow, IBCLC, and the realization is staggering: We have significantly more data, funding, and clinical precision regarding the feeding and care of pregnant and lactating cows than we do for humans. We treat bovine lactation like a science, but human lactation like a “lifestyle choice.”

While the research gap is frustrating, there is a silver lining. We can extrapolate a wealth of knowledge from bovine research. These studies provide a roadmap for understanding metabolic signaling and mammary function that we can apply to human care while we fight for more human-specific data.

When lactation is tied to a billion-dollar industry, the science is exhaustive. When it’s tied to the sovereignty of parents and infants, the advice is often just “keep trying.” We deserve the same evidence-based, deep physiological support we’ve afforded the dairy industry for decades.

This 2024 study describes what’s normal for night-waking in nursing babies 6 to 12 months old. Not surprisingly, 97% woke and nursed at least once during the night. It’s reassuring to know that night nursing at this stage is age-appropriate, not the sign of faulty parenting or a sleep disorder.
