Breastfeeding is the way nature intended us to feed our babies.  Breastfeeding is hard work though!  Just because it is the most natural way does not mean it is the easiest way, especially in the beginning.  Mothers across the globe breastfeed their children, but there are many, many mothers and babies that have a hard time due to a multitude of reasons. Speaking to a lactation consultant can be eye opening and life changing because mothers who thought they could not breastfeed or who were about to give up learn of ways to help themselves and make it fit into their everyday lives.  Breastfeeding is not all or nothing.  It can take on many shapes and forms. Lactation consultants have a wonderful job of teaching women how they can and do have the power to decide how their breastfeeding journey will fit into their everyday lives.  

Breastfeeding Consultants of San Diego, LLC can help new and expectant parents with all things breastfeeding.  We work with families of all shapes, sizes, and genders.  We are an inclusive practice.  We offer prenatal breastfeeding classes, private prenatal/postnatal lactation consultations, a FREE weekly breastfeeding support group, and tailored breastfeeding education for meetup groups.  Contact us as we would love to help you!  
 "I would've never imagined that our [medical] benefits, providing us with a breastfeeding consultant, would have been such an important and valuable asset for us in our efforts as new parents. Your help truly allowed us to be much more secure, comfortable, and confident as new parents​."  ~ Patrick
