lactation support
Specialized lactation support in Pasadena – and in your home.
Breastfeeding is one of the most natural things in the world, and one of the hardest to get right.
When it isn't working, the experience can feel isolating, painful, and discouraging.
You deserve support that goes beyond basic guidance.
What to Expect
Lactation support at Oak Grove is informed by a clinical background that most lactation providers don't have. As a speech-language pathologist with specialized training in infant feeding and years of experience in a leading pediatric NICU, I bring a deeper understanding of the feeding relationship. Oral-motor patterns, structural factors, and the infant-caregiver dynamic all shape breastfeeding success.
This means that when something isn't working, we're not guessing. We're looking at the full picture.
Support is individualized to where you are and what you need. Sessions may address:
-
Latch Assessment & Correction
Eevaluating positioning, oral mechanics, and comfort for both mother and baby
-
Milk Transfer & Supply Concerns
Identifying whether your baby is feeding effectively and supporting adequate intake
-
Pain During Feeding
Exploring the underlying causes and developing a plan to address them
-
Bottle & Breast Transitions
Supporting families navigating both feeding methods, if and when that matches your feeding objectives
-
Weaning Support
Guidance for families ready to transition away from breastfeeding
