If You’re Here, You’ve Probably Tried Everything
You’ve Googled every symptom, cycled through pumps, cried during feeds, and asked every Facebook group imaginable. And still—feeding feels hard. You’ve been told to “just keep nursing” or that “it’s normal to hurt at first,” but your gut says something’s off.
You’re not overreacting. You’re not broken. And you don’t have to figure this out alone.
What you need is someone to listen, to watch what’s actually happening, and to guide you with clarity and compassion. This is the kind of care you should’ve received from day one—and it’s exactly what we’re here to give.
What You’ll Get with In-Person Lactation Support
Our in-person lactation consults are designed to give you personalized, hands-on guidance to help you navigate whatever challenge you're facing—whether it's painful latching, low milk supply, pumping frustrations, bottle refusal, or something you can’t quite name yet.
We’ll work together one-on-one to get to the root of the issue, not just the symptoms. You'll leave with a clear, customized plan, expert answers, and that deep sigh of relief that comes from knowing you’re not alone in this.
This support is perfect for:
Newborn feeding challenges
Combo feeding or exclusive pumping
Returning to work
Weaning
Or simply getting reassurance that yes, things are going okay
What Moms Are Saying
What’s Included in Your Consult
Every in-person consult is designed to be thorough, personalized, and deeply supportive—because your feeding journey deserves real solutions, not rushed advice.
Here’s what you can expect:
Hi, I’m Katie
IBCLC, mom of three, and founder of The Breastfeeding Mama
I became an IBCLC after facing my own struggles with breastfeeding, pumping, and postpartum life—and realizing how much better things could’ve been with the right kind of support. Since then, I’ve worked with thousands of families through online resources, courses, and in-person consults to help make feeding feel less overwhelming and more empowering.
I specialize in milk supply, pumping, oral function, and meeting families exactly where they are—with care that’s realistic, compassionate, and rooted in both science and lived experience. You’ll never be pressured to feed a certain way, and you’ll always leave with a clear plan that feels doable, supportive, and tailored to you.
This work means everything to me, and I’m here to make sure you feel heard, equipped, and confident every step of the way.
I primarily do office visits in Littleton. For those who prefer home visits, Sierra and Julia are available
