About Team Lactation
About Our Mission
Team Lactation Care is here to provide breastfeeding support and education to families. Our job is to support your goals and give you the tools to reach those goals in a nurturing environment.
Whether you’re pregnant and want the skills to be able to nurse confidently, an adoptive family or surrogate, or are struggling to feed your baby, we are here for you.
We come to your home, in the office, hospital/birth center, or virtually.
About Our Practice
Breastfeeding is so much more than just feeding breastmilk. We believe in looking at the whole breastfeeding dyad. We evaluate latch, infant oral anatomy, and body movement. We look at maternal diet, breast anatomy, pregnancy, and birth.
We practice holistically. We might suggest bodywork/chiropractic care, herbs, homeopathy, and nutritional supplements.
We believe in supporting your breastfeeding journey through collaborative care with your pediatrician, midwife/obstetrician, chiropractor/osteopath, and many other healthcare providers. Being a team provides you with the best plan for breastfeeding success.
