As a International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) in Sudbury, Massachusetts, I meet you where you are (literally- we meet virtually or on my office in Sudbury, MA) and provide you with the lactation, breastfeeding, formula feeding, and/or chest feeding 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 1,000 families in person in MetroWest Massachusetts, and virtually across the country (27 states and counting!) and I can help your family, too.
I offer a range of lactation services virtually or at my office in Sudbury, MA and am available to my clients 7 days a week. Learn more about my visits here.

I tend to stay away from controversial topics on my blog, but in real life, I’m not great at keeping my mouth shut. There have been a slew of new products aimed at breastfeeding parents in the past couple of years- changing pads that weigh your baby, breast milk test strips, a Measure My Milk
In a blog post earlier this year, I discussed the obnoxious loophole that allows health insurance companies in the United States to claim that they cover breastfeeding support and supplies as per the Affordable Care Act, even though they won’t allow IBCLCs to be in-network providers (and often will refuse to reimburse families for their
I spent hours and hours this week searching for a term in another language- a term for a feeling that sometimes occurs when you’re breastfeeding a child or pumping milk. A feeling that, itself, doesn’t have a term in English. Can I explain it in English? Let’s give it a shot. Breasts don’t sit around
