About Ashley lucas

Chattanooga Lactation Welcome to Chattanooga Lactation, where families receive personalized, evidence-based support for breastfeeding, pumping, bottle feeding, and all things infant feeding. Our team of experienced IBCLCs (International Board Certified Lactation Consultants) provides compassionate lactation support to families throughout Chattanooga, Ooltewah, Cleveland, East Ridge, Hixson, Northshore, Red Bank, Signal Mountain, Ringgold, Fort Oglethorpe, and surrounding communities. We know feeding a baby doesn’t always go as planned. Whether you’re struggling with latch, painful nursing, low milk supply, slow infant weight gain, pumping, bottle refusal, oral function, breast or nipple pain, or transitioning back to work, you don’t have to figure it out alone. At Chattanooga Lactation, we look beyond the latch. We take time to understand the whole picture and create a feeding plan that works for you, your baby, and your family—whether that means breastfeeding, pumping, combination feeding, formula feeding, or a combination of methods. Our goal is simple: real support without judgment. We’re here to help you feel confident, informed, and supported throughout your feeding journey. You don’t have to do this alone. ❤️

My baby is two months old and I would have already given up if it wasn’t for Ashley. From being a late preemie, jaundice, low supply, and tongue and lip tie she has encouraged me and answered every single message and been so supportive at every appointment and beyond. We have turned a corner in our breastfeeding journey and know now we CAN do it and I seriously couldn’t do it without Ashley! 10/10 recommend her with everything I have

How are you different from the hospital IBCLC

Good question. I practice as an Advanced IBCLC which means I have gone above and beyond to make sure I have the most updated information, trainings, and specialize in complex cases. For example Tongue and lip tie pre-therapy exercises and post tongue tie release support, bottle refusal, Low supply and no one has been able to figure out why, using reflexive feeding techniques to help even the most difficult baby. We also are the only lactation group with 4 lactation consultants to make sure we are able to support you and offer a variety of ways such as in-home visits, Office visits, and Telehealth.
