The best time to meet your lactation consultant is before you need one.
There’s a different kind of peace of mind that comes from heading into those first days already knowing you have expert support in place.
We’ll prepare for your baby’s arrival, so you walk into those first feeds informed, confident, and with a personal feeding expert already in your pocket — ready whenever you need me.

60% of mothers who stop breastfeeding do so earlier than they planned to.
Not because they wanted to stop — because of what those first weeks actually feel like: wondering if your body is making enough, dreading the wince every time baby latches, lying awake doing math on ounces instead of sleeping, starting to believe something's wrong with you when nothing is.
Skilled lactation support increases exclusive breastfeeding by 58%. That's not a rushed visit from whoever's on shift before you're discharged — it's someone who already knows you, in your home, starting before baby even arrives.
Feeding your baby can be difficult in ways you'd never think to prepare for.
And when it is, it can bring a lot of stress and hurt your confidence as a new parent. That's exactly why the best time to prepare for it is now, while you still have the time and headspace to actually think it through — not with just reassurance, but with a real plan.
Feeding is instinctual — but it's also very much a skill, and most families need real support to get it right
So here's what I actually do: before baby ever arrives, I sit down with you, walk through what to expect, and build a plan around your body and your goals — not a generic hospital packet, not a 2am chat with an AI once you're already exhausted. So when your baby's here, you're not starting from zero.

Prenatal Services
The First Feed
You'll never be more rested or less overwhelmed than you are right now. In this in-home prenatal visit, we build your plan for those first hours and days: what to expect, what to watch for, and what you can do from the very beginning, based on your own body and history, not a generic class. The questions you'll have at 2 a.m. are the same ones you can ask me today, so your first latch isn't also your first lesson.
-
Your full health history. Your medical history, your pregnancy, and anything else that could affect feeding, like thyroid issues, PCOS, a past breast surgery, or medications. Your plan gets built on facts, not guesswork.
A clinical assessment prenatal classes skip entirely. An RN and IBCLC checks breast and nipple anatomy and anything that could affect latch or supply, then turns what we find into a plan that's proactive, not reactive.
Hands-on basics. Positioning, what a deep latch actually looks and feels like, and what those first feeds really involve.
Colostrum harvesting, if your OB clears it and your pregnancy isn't high-risk. How and when to hand-express and store colostrum before baby arrives, so you have some ready for those first days.
Product prep specific to you. Flange fitting if you're planning to pump, plus what actually makes sense for your plan, not a generic registry list.
The first few weeks, before you're in them. What's normal, what isn't, and when to get help, so you recognize what's happening as it happens.
-
Some things are easier to catch before baby arrives. If your history or assessment shows something that could affect supply or latch, we have weeks to plan around it instead of finding out once feeding has already started.
We'll already know each other. If you need support after baby arrives, you're not explaining your whole story to someone new. I already know your history and your plan.
This isn't about expecting something to go wrong. It's about walking in prepared either way.

The Residency
The Residency is my most complete level of care, built to carry you through your baby's first feeding season and the early postpartum months when you need support the most.

A free prenatal visit, virtual or in-home, if you book while you're pregnant
4 in-home visits, timed to when feeding actually changes: those first days home, the shifts around two to three weeks, growth spurts, and the new challenge that shows up just when things felt settled. It's not a fixed schedule. I come when it matters most.
3 full months of 24/7 access to me, so nothing has to wait for the next appointment
-
Your full health history and birth story, first. Your medical history, your pregnancy, how your delivery and hospital stay went, and your baby's health since birth. Things like thyroid issues, PCOS, a past breast surgery, or medications can shape milk supply and feeding more than most people realize. We start there, not at the latch.
Weighted feeds. I weigh your baby before and after a feed, so you know exactly how much milk is transferring. You get a number, not a guess.
A full oral and body assessment. An RN and IBCLC checks oral function, muscle tone, and body tension, so we find what's actually behind a painful or inefficient feed, not just what the latch looks like.
Hands-on latch and positioning, done in your own home, in the chair you'll actually be feeding in.
Pumping, bottles, and combination feeding. This covers flange fitting, bottle choice, and paced feeding, whatever your plan includes.
Your own recovery: physical healing, supply, and how you're really doing, not just how the baby is.
The shifts ahead. That means the two-to-three-week adjustments, growth spurts, and weight checks along the way, with your care plan updated after every visit so each one builds on the last instead of starting over.
A trusted care network, not a cold referral. If something calls for another specialist, like a pediatric dentist, craniosacral therapist, chiropractor, occupational therapist, or pediatrician, I'll connect you with providers I know and work with directly, and stay in the loop so your care stays coordinated.
-
Every visit builds on the one before it. Nothing gets re-explained and nothing starts over. Across three months, your care works as one plan for your recovery and your baby's growth.
Prenatal visit (if booked while pregnant), virtual or in-home. We go through your health history, what to have ready, and your feeding plan before baby arrives, so your first postpartum visit starts from what we already know.
Visit 1: The foundation. Shortly after you're home. A full assessment of you and your baby, a weighted feed, and a care plan for your first days home.
Visit 2: Refining. Usually around two to three weeks, when feeding tends to shift. We see what held, check weight gain, and adjust your plan based on how your baby and your body actually responded.
Visit 3: Building. Growth, oral function, and your recovery, measured against where we started. This is where we layer in what's next for your family, whether that's pumping, bottles, or combination feeding.
Visit 4: Looking ahead. We confirm your routine is working and plan for the months ahead, like returning to work, changes in your baby's feeding patterns, and whatever you want to feel ready for.
Timing flexes to what you and your baby need. If something comes up early, the next visit moves up with it.

3 Months of 24/7 Access
One expert who knows your whole story, from the first visit to the last.
Text me anytime, day or night. Questions, photos, a video of a feed that looks off: send it through secure messaging whenever it comes up. Non-urgent messages are answered between 6 a.m. and 8 p.m.
Urgent? Call me, any hour. If something can't wait until morning, you don't have to wait until morning to get an answer.
Priority scheduling. When something changes, your next visit moves to the front of my calendar.
The same person, every time. You never retell your birth story or start over with someone new. I know your history, your baby, and what we tried last visit, so every answer is about your baby, not babies in general. And when advice from family, friends, and the internet starts to conflict, you have one clinical voice you can trust to sort through it.
It starts early if you book while pregnant. Access begins at your prenatal visit and runs through three months postpartum.
For a medical emergency, always call 911 first.

From Families Who Started Early
"She helped me feel confident and prepared going into the hospital, and I knew exactly what to do right after delivery."
I saw Brittany for a prenatal lactation visit before my baby was born, and I'm so glad I did. She helped me feel confident and prepared going into the hospital, and I knew exactly what to do right after delivery. Once I was home, we faced a lot of unexpected challenges — low milk supply, latching difficulties, and a tongue and lip tie that required release. Brittany supported us every step of the way. She not only helped improve my supply and guide us through the tongue/lip tie process, but also worked patiently with us on latching and feeding issues, including helping my baby overcome anxiety with the bottle and difficulties with burping. She even recommended a wonderful craniosacral therapist, who was a game-changer for our baby's comfort and feeding progress. Now, 11 weeks after birth, we are finally full-time breastfeeding. It's been a long journey, but I truly don't think we would've made it here without Brittany's knowledge, encouragement, and compassionate care. I can't recommend her enough!

"If it weren't for her help, I definitely would have given up."
I cannot say enough amazing things about Brittany. My husband and I had just had our first baby girl, and breastfeeding was definitely the biggest challenge. Brittany came to the house a few weeks before our baby was born, and she spent several hours going over breastfeeding basics with us and showed me how to use my pump and other accessories I had — I felt so much more comfortable after she left. She then made several visits during the first one to two weeks postpartum to help us figure out our breastfeeding struggles. If it weren't for her help, I definitely would have given up. I recommend her to any expecting or new mom.

"That was what I needed to calm any pre-baby anxiety."
I was recommended to Brittany by a friend who had similar challenges with breastfeeding — delayed supply, tongue tie, and more. I couldn't be happier with her. She helped me and my baby reach my goal of exclusive breastfeeding and was available by text the entire process. She even helped me before I met with her, recommending bottle types, pacifier types, and pumps — which, as a first-time mom, was what I needed to calm any pre-baby anxiety. Brittany is so personable and cares about mom and baby in a way that makes you feel safe and trusting. I would use her again in a heartbeat, even when I think I don't need help — because most likely I do. Everyone could benefit from her knowledge and experience.
