The Latchlink Lactation

Accepts insurance

The Latch Link was founded to give mothers access to skilled, personalized lactation care that goes far beyond basic breastfeeding support. After experiencing firsthand how difficult it can be to find high-quality guidance, the practice was created with one goal in mind: to make expert, compassionate lactation care easy to access for every family. Today, The Latch Link is a nationwide virtual lactation practice providing evidence-based breastfeeding and infant-feeding support from highly trained consultants. The team combines clinical expertise with a whole-mother approach, focusing on both feeding and the emotional and physical realities of new motherhood. All visits are conducted via secure telehealth and are typically covered 100% by major insurance plans, allowing families to meet with their consultant from the comfort of home with no added stress. From pregnancy through weaning, The Latch Link supports parents with everything from latch and milk supply to pumping, bottle feeding, oral function concerns, and more. The mission is simple: to give every mother the clarity, confidence, and support she deserves — no judgment, no confusion, just truly skilled care.

I worked with Amber several time when nursing my twins. She was extremely sweet and made me feel like I was talking to a good friend. She was very knowledgeable but also extremely approachable, very different than the hospital IBCLC. She really helped me feel like I was doing well as a mother and her care and support helped me be able to exclusively breastfeeding my twins for the first 10 months of their lives.

I have had three experiences through Celebrate Birth! A birth center, home birth and prenatal only (due to a low lying placenta). They have been truly the most amazing care providers I could have dreamt of! They feel like family and I look forward to every time I get to use them! Knowledgeable, family like, care for everyone and pour into our family. They truly care about you and your growing family.

Born and raised in San Diego, she feels grateful to live and work in a community she loves, and she pours her heart into helping families thrive.

I can not recommend Heather enough. She helped me through one of my most vulnerable times and became a key player in my breastfeeding success. Heather accurately identified tongue, lip, and cheek ties in my daughter and helped shed light on why we had been having feeding issues. She supported us through our decision to get her ties revised and helped us navigate her recovery. Heather is an expert in her field and continues to be a main source of support with my breastfeeding journey. I am so happy we found Heather and would recommend her whole heartedly to anyone who finds themselves overwhelmed or struggling with breastfeeding.

I provide expert IBCLC lactation consulting in Birmingham, AL. I offer personalized, concierge style breastfeeding support with in home and virtual consultations. Whether you need help with latch, milk supply, or newborn feeding, I'm happy to guide you through your breastfeeding journey with compassionate care. I love helping moms meet their own breastfeeding goals!

Recent review

I am beyond grateful for the incredible support and guidance I received from Dana in the early days of my breastfeeding journey. Right after birth, we faced several challenges—including low milk production, latch difficulties, my baby’s slow weight gain, and eventually a diagnosis of cow’s milk protein intolerance. Through it all, Dana met us with patience, encouragement, and genuine compassion. She not only offered practical solutions and expert knowledge, but also created a space where I felt heard and supported during a vulnerable and emotional time. Her presence helped me build the confidence I needed to keep going, even when it all felt incredibly overwhelming. Now, nearly 10 months later, I’m so proud to say we are still breastfeeding—and thriving. The benefits to both me and my baby have been remarkable: a deep bond, strong immunity for my little one, and significant cost savings (especially considering how expensive hypoallergenic formulas are!). I truly believe we wouldn’t be where we are today without Dana’s dedication and support.

Hi, I’m Katie—an IBCLC dedicated to supporting families with compassionate, evidence-based care. I received my lactation training through Metropolitan State University of Denver and have spent the past eight years working as both a birth and postpartum doula, supporting more than 100 families through some of the most tender and transformative moments of their lives. I come to lactation work with a foundation in Nutrition, holding a bachelor’s degree from UNC.  I have three kiddos of my own—each with their own unique breastfeeding journey. These experiences deepen my understanding that every family’s path is different, and every goal is valid. I truly love being welcomed into people’s homes and consider the postpartum period a sacred space. My approach is grounded in respect, collaboration, and meeting families exactly where they are—whether they’re navigating challenges, exploring their feeding options, or simply seeking reassurance. When I’m not working with families, you can find me snowboarding, traveling, reading, cooking, and hanging out with my little crew, hopefully outside, having an adventure!

I used Katie for the birth of my first son and my second son. If I were to have a third child, I would use her again. She is knowledgeable, a calming presence and was supportive in the exact ways I needed her to be for both births. I am so happy with how my labor and delivery went each time and I feel like Katie played a huge role in me being able to feel that way. I would recommend katie highly to anyone looking for a doula.

Breastfeeding Savvy (BFS) is a breastfeeding clinic, emulating a homelike setting, located at 58 Clifton Country Road, Clifton Park, NY, 12065, Suite 106. Our breastfeeding clinic was created to support the postpartum period and optimize the breastfeeding/ pumping dyads journey. Our mission is to provide empathetic and evidenced based support to families in the community. To ensure the physical and mental wellbeing of both the breastfeeding/pumping patients as well as the safety of the neonate. We follow AAP guidelines as well as ABM protocols. We believe it is essential to provide breastfeeding/pumping education and support to the entire family (partners, siblings, grandparents etc.) to ensure the most enjoyable and safe feeding journey obtainable. We devise an individual feeding plan based on a mothers breastfeeding goal, while making priority that this goal is safe and conducive to infants physiological and psychological development. We work closely with other health care professionals such as fellow lactation consultants, nurse practitioners, family practitioners, pediatricians, midwives, obstetricians and pediatric dentists to ensure optimal outcomes. We offer the postpartum community a safe haven for breastfeeding/chest feeding mothers to gather and connect with one another via support groups, individual consults and virtual consults. We also offer breastfeeding classes antenatally as well as CPR classes.
