Lactation Services

Compassionate, Expert Breastfeeding Support
In Person or virtual

Breastfeeding can be beautiful — and it can also be hard. Whether you’re struggling with a painful latch, worried about your milk supply, or just not sure if what you’re experiencing is normal, you deserve real answers from someone who truly knows. Our International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs) have helped hundreds of North County San Diego families find their footing, and we’re here to help yours too. Every visit is personalized, judgment-free, and rooted in the kind of warm, evidence-based care you’d want for your family.

Covered by Insurance

Most Visits Are Covered by Insurance — At No Cost to You
Before you worry about the cost, here’s the good news: most of our lactation consultations are covered at 100% by insurance under the Affordable Care Act. We work with most major insurance plans and will walk you through exactly how to confirm your coverage — no confusing phone calls on your end. Many of our clients are surprised to find out their visit is completely free.

Prenatal Lactation Visit

Plan Ahead for a Stronger Start

The weeks before your baby arrives are the perfect time to get prepared — especially if you have questions, concerns, or a previous breastfeeding experience you’d like to do differently this time. In this visit, we’ll walk you through what to realistically expect in the early days, how to set up a solid foundation for feeding, and what to do if challenges come up. Whether you have a history of low supply, breast surgery, PCOS, or you’re simply a first-time parent who wants to feel ready — this visit is for you.

Covers latching basics, colostrum collection & birth plan questions

Postpartum Lactation Consult

Hands-On Help When You Need It Most

When something feels off with feeding — whether it’s pain, a baby who won’t stay latched, slow weight gain, or a supply that’s tanked — you shouldn’t have to troubleshoot it alone. In your postpartum consult, we do a full feeding assessment, watch a real feeding, and build you a personalized care plan you can actually follow. We serve families throughout Carlsbad, Encinitas, Oceanside, Vista, San Marcos, and the wider North San Diego County area.

Weight Check

Free Weight Checks — No Appointment Pressure, Ever

Not ready for a full consult, but want to make sure your baby is gaining well? Come in for a free 10-minute weight check on our medical-grade infant scale — no obligation, no pressure. It’s a simple way to get peace of mind between pediatric visits, during a growth spurt, or while you’re adjusting to a new feeding rhythm.

Infant weight gain can feel like a constant source of worry in those early weeks — and we get it. Our scale is accurate to the gram, so you’ll leave with a real number, not a guess. Our IBCLCs are always nearby if you have a quick question while you’re in, and if it turns out you’d benefit from a longer conversation, we’ll make it easy to schedule one. No pressure, ever — just support when you need it.

Completely free, 10 minutes.
Great during growth spurts, after birth, or while adjusting pumping

Milestone Support Appointments

Feeding Support for Every Stage, Not Just the Newborn Days

Your baby keeps changing — and your feeding journey changes with them. Whether you’re heading back to work and navigating pumping, introducing solids, dealing with teething-related latch issues, or thinking about weaning, we’re here at every milestone. You don’t need to have a crisis to reach out. Sometimes a 30-minute check-in is all it takes to feel confident again.
Common milestone topics we cover:

2–3 weeks: cluster feeding, fussiness & milk supply questions
6 weeks: feeding adjustments, sleep changes, pumping
Returning to work: pumping schedules, bottle introduction, daycare prep
Starting solids: readiness signs and combining with breastfeeding
Teething: latch changes and comfort nursing
Weaning: how to gently and comfortably taper feeds

Perfect for check-ins as baby grows
Flexible visit types: in-person or virtual

“So grateful for Rochelle!
Every time I do an appointment with her, I am beyond glad I did. I think my ability to have a meaningful breast-feeding journey with my daughter, and work through emotional distress over tough moments in breastfeeding has been very much due to her wisdom, kindness, and expertise. Her assessments are so thorough and her follow up feedback and recommendation resources are an incredible value.”
– Holly

“Juliana was a major help…
…during a very vulnerable time. I booked multiple at-home lactation consultations when I was freshly postpartum, and she provided personalized and thorough after-visit reports to support my breastfeeding journey. Her visits always left me feeling more informed, reassured, and capable. Juliana is a big reason why I continued with breastfeeding. My insurance covered the cost of the visits, excluding the travel fee.”
– Stacey

“Rochelle and her team are incredible!
“Thanks to her my daughter is now feeding well and she gives me constant reassurance by answering all my questions through her messaging portal. She is absolutely incredible and they have fantastic resources as well!! 10/10 recommend their services and I may have given up on breastfeeding if it wasn’t for their support and knowledge.”
– Taylor
