Why “only 5% of women can’t make enough milk” is a myth
Every day people are told that “only 5% of women can’t make enough milk.” Where does this come from- and is it even true?
As a International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and PMH-C (Perinatal Mental Health Certified) in Wayland, Massachusetts, I meet you where you are (literally- we meet virtually or at my office in Wayland) and provide you with the lactation, breastfeeding, bottle feeding, formula feeding, and/or chestfeeding support and tools you need. Whether you are expecting a baby or having trouble with nursing, pumping, bottle feeding, bottle refusal, or weaning, I can help– after all, breastfeeding only works if it’s working for both parent and baby! I’ve worked with over 2,000 families in person in MetroWest Massachusetts, and virtually across the country (35 states and counting!) and I can help your family, too.
I offer a range of lactation and bottle feeding services virtually or at my office in Wayland, MA and am available to my clients 7 days a week. Learn more about my visits here or click here to learn more about me and my training.

Introducing bottles to breastfed babies doesn’t have to be complicated or stressful. Here are the simple steps, with examples of good and bad bottle latches.
