Have you ever wondered why some moms walk into those first feeds feeling calm and confident… while others feel like they’re already behind?
I was talking with a mom recently who said, “I thought I’d just figure it out when the baby got here.”

She had done all the right things—picked out her pump, set up the nursery, taken a general class—but when it came time to actually feed her baby, it felt way harder than she expected.

Because no one had shown her what really matters in those first hours.
How to get a deep, comfortable latch.
What normal actually looks like.
What to do when things don’t click right away.

And that’s the difference.

Confidence doesn’t come from hoping it works—it comes from knowing what you’re looking at and what to do next.

Use the ink in the bio to book your appointment now! You won’t regret it - available via telehealth or in person!

That’s why I created my Prenatal Confidence Kit.

It’s designed to walk you through the real-life early feeding experience before your baby arrives—so you can skip the panic, trust what you’re seeing, and start off feeling steady instead of unsure.

If you’re pregnant and planning to breastfeed, don’t wait until you’re in it to try to figure it out.

Get your Prenatal Confidence Kit now and give yourself the kind of start that actually sets you up for success.

A 2025 study published in AJOG adds powerful, up-to-date data showing associations between doula care and improved maternal and newborn outcomes.

Key Maternal Outcomes:

More vaginal births after cesarean (VBAC): For every 100 patients who received doula care, there were 15 to 34 additional VBACs compared with those without doula care.

Higher postpartum follow-up attendance: 5 to 6 more per 100 received postpartum office visits.

Key Neonatal / Infant Outcomes

Increased exclusive breastfeeding rates: Babies whose families had doula support were more likely to breastfeed exclusively.

Fewer preterm births (and early preterm births): Doula-supported births showed a reduction in preterm birth rates.

In short, the study links doula care with improvements in birth outcomes — across birth mode (more VBACs), infant health (less prematurity), and early infant care (breastfeeding, postpartum follow-up).

A new mom sat in my office recently, holding her baby and her pump bag.

She looked at me and said, “I don’t even know where to start.”

She had questions about breastfeeding.
Questions about pumping.
Questions about bottle feeding.

And she was worried someone would judge her for asking.

That’s exactly why this office exists.

At Lactation Services of Southington, this is a place where moms can sit down, take a breath, and talk honestly about feeding their baby.
Breastfeeding.
Pumping.
Bottle feeding.
Combo feeding.
Heading back to work.
No pressure. No shame. Just real support.

For more than 25 years as an IBCLC working with new families, I’ve learned something important:
Most parents don’t need perfection.
They need a place where someone listens.
Where questions are welcome.
Where they can leave feeling more confident than when they walked in.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed with feeding your baby, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
There’s a chair here waiting for you.

If you’re pregnant or have a new baby and need breastfeeding, pumping, or bottle feeding support, tap the link in my bio to schedule a consult.
