Find Lactation Consultant Jobs in Bel Air, MD

First baby, planning for a birth with medication as needed, seeking support 36-40 weeks to reduce discomfort from working on my feet and prep for labor. My husband will also be present for birth. I’m planning to give birth at Mercy Hospital. I have Tricare Select and want to use my coverage for 6 hours of support. I don’t have much of a budget otherwise.

Two week old with possible shallow latch or fast letdown, who does not stay on the breast long. Sometimes only takes one breast at a time and I am not sure if I should pump on the other breast.

Hi. I am looking for help with breastfeeding and pumping for my newborn son. He nurses frequently and has plenty of wet diapers, but my pumping output varies. Sometimes I get a few ounces and other times only drops, which makes me worry about my supply. I would like help checking his latch and making sure he is getting enough milk. I also need help with flange sizing, pump settings, and a pumping routine that works with my school schedule. Please let me know your availability, visit options, pricing, and whether you accept insurance.

I tried to breastfeed my last child but she absolutely wouldn’t latch. I think I have flat nipples so she wouldn’t latch without a nipple shield that was too painful to use. I tried to pump but never had any milk output, I don’t even think I had colostrum. I don’t know if I was just doing it wrong or if I just didn’t have any milk. Because I don’t know what I was doing wrong, I don’t know how to do it right this time round. I think I need a prenatal appnt to figure out how to size everything right, methods, nipple healing when it hurts too much, tools and products to use. I don’t even know how much milk I should be able to get out in the first weeks or how to store and make use of pumped milk because I never got the chance to learn it. I’d like someone experienced and gentle. I don’t do well with blunt, tough love, especially postpartum. Lower budget would be nice but I don’t have much idea of what a consultant costs

Looking for a birth doula that has experience with VBA2C births. Planning to give birth at John's Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. Someone who can advocate for me during labor to allow me to move freely and help me stick to my birth plan.

We are a same-sex couple having our first baby. We're looking for a doula who is experienced working with neurodivergent mothers and also has some experience with working with mothers who suffer from trauma. We're looking for someone who can support pre-birth through education, resources and techniques and can also be in the room during the birth. We're hoping to breastfeed, but that might be a sensory nightmare, so we're looking for someone who can help us navigate that. We will be giving birth in a hospital, hopefully unmedicated and vaginally. Unsure about days/hours required or budget, but in person is better.

Two week old who seems to be eating plenty, but her feeds are fast (6-11 minutes). She usually only has one breast per feed and will fall asleep right after. I worry that she is not emptying the milk. I’ve been using a Hakka on the opposite breast and now I worry that it’s caused an over supply. So Sunday 9/20 I got the chills and felt engorged. But no fever. She has her second pediatrician appointment this Wednesday. Seeking a home visit this week and advice on avoiding mastitis while ensuring supply and healthy baby feeds. Additionally looking for a consultant that accepts Care First insurance.

This is my second baby. I'd like a hospital birth. My first birth was not traumatic but I remember feeling like I was limited in my ability to express my needs and felt pressured into certain interventions. I also had a very negative breastfeeding experience and was never able to establish that with my first and would like to try again. I am looking for someone to help advocate for me during the birth and support me in getting breastfeeding established.

Newborn lactation consultant support. In-home services preferred starting the week of October 19

I gave birth to my beautiful first child, Margeaux, four days ago. We worked with a lactation specialist in the hospital and she seemed to be doing well and making wet and soiled diapers for two days before discharge. Since then, she has only produced 1 wet diaper a day and her feedings have become very painful for me, especially when constantly pursued over night. I am unable to sleep and my child refuses to sleep anywhere but on me and when she is awake she only wants my nipple. I worry my body is not producing enough colostrum. She is losing weight but the pediatritian told me to not supplement with formula and to always allow my child access to my nipples. Feeling very defeated and could use help. I have BluCross Blue Shield, but willling to pay out of pocket. In person visit or virtual visit is preferred. Please help. Alex

Looking for a faith-based doula for L&D and postpartum breastfeeding support. My last experience was without one and I feel having an experienced advocate in the room will be helpful. I want someone to help me feel supported and help me voice my preferences / needs during. Having a vaginal birth with minimal intervention is important to me. I’d love to birth at home but husband prefers we do hospital so we’ll be doing York wellspan hospital. Budget is ~$1500, and birth plan is as above, and limiting iv fluids, limiting induction interventions and avoiding C-section when able, and birthing in positions other than on back and legs up. Golden hour. Set up for best success with breastfeeding. Etc.

6 days old with a shallow latch and painful feeds for the most part. Seen by pediatrician and thought to have a tongue tie. Just really trying to get a good deep latch to prevent painful feeds.

First baby and planning to birth in a hospital but with as minimal intervention as possible.

We live in Hanover, plan to birth in Carlisle. Looking for a home birth experience in a hospital setting. Unmedicated if possible, with minimal intervention. History of infertility and loss. Strong personality and need someone who can work with that. Looking for prenatal, birth and postpartum support. Experience with breastfeeding, baby wearing and cloth diapers is a plus. Definitely want someone with experience in movement techniques to optimize baby's positioning. My insurance covers 1200 per year and we can go a bit above that. Bonus points if we can split billing or do a visit in the new year to use both years benefits. Insurance requires a tax ID number and an invoice.

Basic lactation consultant that accepts Tricare Select, preferably in home. Current challenges are getting a deep and consistent latch

2 week old with painful latch on right breast. Looking to meet with a consultant in person for more help

Possible tongue tie, lip blister, possible shallow latch, first time mom looking for general guidance in person preferred

In person or virtual pumping consultation. I'm not getting good output in the last two days since my 4 month old started daycare and I'm back at work. I've only pumped a couple times since she was born before starting work and was using an old Ameda Mya. It worked well once in my first week post partum when I was engorged. When I used it recently it didn't pump much but I wasn't sure if it was old parts an old pump or that I didn't have much supply between breast feeds. I got a new Medela pump in style pro and have tried with 24, 21, and 18 mm flanges. I can get 2 oz ok on my left breast but on my right I only get 1 oz and need to get at least 2. My nipple on that side isn't very pointy - my areola and nipple make a triangle shape. When I pump it hurts my nipple and turns purple but I feel like my areola is pulled in so I don't know if the flange is too big or too small or it's something else. I was able to pump ~4oz pretty consistently with my first born 2 years ago but I think that was mostly when I was in office using a hospital grade pump and I work from home now.
