Lactation Support
Feeding your baby shouldn’t feel like a battle.
Support That Meets You Where You Are
Whether you’re nursing, pumping, bottle feeding, supplementing, starting solids, or still figuring it out, feeding your baby can be one of the most vulnerable parts of the postpartum experience.
At Embrace, we provide lactation support that’s rooted in evidence, free from judgment, and deeply attuned to what you need.
Our goal is not to push a method. It’s to help you feel informed, equipped, and emotionally supported through a process that can be both beautiful and challenging.
You don’t have to figure this out alone.
What We Can Help With
Our lactation specialists and doulas offer care for a wide range of feeding experiences and challenges, including:
Painful or shallow latch
Nipple damage or engorgement
Slow weight gain or sleepy feeds
Low milk supply or oversupply
Pumping routines and flange sizing
Bottle refusal or introducing a bottle
Combo feeding and supplementing
Emotional overwhelm and feeding guilt
Navigating feeding after a difficult birth or NICU stay
We hold space for all feeding journeys. We’re not here to measure your success by ounces. We’re here to help you find what works for your baby, your body, and your life.
