Helping you feed your baby

Lactation support for families of all kinds in Washington DC and Maryland

Consultations available in Spanish and English

Hi, my name is Rachel and I can help you feed your baby. I am an experienced Registered Nurse, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), and a mother of two grown babies who had feeding issues. I have been in your shoes. I have worked with countless families. Together, we can help your baby eat.

My goal is to give you the tools and understanding about what your baby is telling us they need to eat well.

Common feeding challenges I can assist with

  • Milk supply issues (too much or too little)

  • Mastitis or plugged ducts

  • Newborn weight loss

  • Nipple damage

  • Latching difficulties

  • Nipple shield use and how to wean

  • NICU families or NICU graduates

  • Cleft palate or cleft lip

  • Tongue restrictions, tongue ties, lip ties

  • Torticollis

  • Babies with food sensitivities, acid reflux, or fussiness

  • Introducing bottles and return to work planning

  • Pumping and flange fitting

  • Feeding twins/multiples

  • Flat or inverted nipples
