Prenatal & Postpartum Lactation Counseling

Breastfeeding is challenging to master, and every baby is different. We use our expertise in lactation, neonatal therapy, and feeding therapy to make breastfeeding a positive and successful experience— for both mother and baby!

Whether you want to prepare for breastfeeding before baby’s arrival or you’re seeking a breastfeeding evaluation after birth, we will provide hands-on support to help you reach your goals. At Thriving Joy, lactation counseling services include:

• Prenatal consultations and education

• Lactation assessments, including baby oral motor examination

• Troubleshooting breastfeeding, pumping, and supply challenges

• Support navigating tethered oral tissues (e.g., lip and tongue ties)
