Hi, I'm Rachel!

As a International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) 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 nursing, pumping, bottle feeding, 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.

I am in network with Aetna and Unicare, and MOST other health insurance companies in Massachusetts reimburse families for lactation consultant services! My IBCLC visits are also an HSA/FSA eligible expense.​

My clients call me for help with lots of baby feeding problems, like...

painful breastfeeding and bad latch

We'll work on a deep latch that should end (or greatly reduce) your breastfeeding pain and minimize nipple damage.

tongue tie and/or lip tie

We'll assess for symptoms of ties and how they can be managed OR treated by a skilled local provider.

low milk supply or insufficient milk supply

We'll investigate the hormonal, physical, and environmental causes of low supply, then maximize your milk production.

oversupply or overactive letdown (OALD)

We'll assess your milk supply, ease discomfort, and work to regulate your milk production.

gassy, fussy babies

Usually this ISN'T related to the foods you're eating! We'll identify the causes of the problem- and we'll find the solution.

pumping milk or returning to work

We'll maximize your pump output, make a plan for pumping that fits into your day, and calculate how much milk baby needs.

prenatal and preadoption consults

We'll review your history and you'll learn what to expect (or for adoptive parents, how to induce lactation).

Why sleep training and breastfeeding don’t mix (and what to do instead)

I know many of you are bombarded by Facebook ads for different baby sleep “programs”, or your friends gave you sleep books before your baby was born, or your boss or co-worker swears by a certain method. Sleep is a big deal. I get it, I really do. Before I was a lactation consultant I worked full-time while all 3 of my kids were breastfeeding. My commute was 1 hour each way, I was exhausted, I know how much your baby’s sleep can make or break your day. I have been there. I do not blame ANY parent for needing or wanting more sleep, ever.
