When Breastfeeding Feels Hard
For most of human history, new parents were surrounded by helpers—people who could recognize a good latch, offer a nourishing meal, and reassure them that what they were feeling was normal. Those supports are part of what made breastfeeding possible and sustainable.
Today, we expect parents to learn from a 10-minute LC visit in the hospital, a handful of brochures, and late-night TikToks. We’ve replaced a village with a search bar—and then we ask why it feels so isolating.

What Happens During an In-home Lactation Consult?
At an in-home lactation consult, we practice breastfeeding in your own space, with your own things, the way you'll actually be doing it when I'm not there. Not only is this better for learning, but it's also so much easier than packing up your baby and driving across town to sit in a waiting room.
