Find Lactation Consultant Jobs Near Danville, VA

Need help with my supply, in the beginning I punched 90oz on my right side 60 on my left. I stopped pumping as frequently and now it’s only 1oz or less on each side.

My baby struggles to latch, so I am exclusively pumping. My supply has dropped, and I’m relying on donor breast milk to fill in the gaps with what I can’t produce for my son. I’ve had mastitis once and I get huge clogs in my milk ducts almost every other day, which are super painful. I have BCBS Federal insurance and Medicaid

I am seeking a birth doula and lactation consultant to support me through a planned hospital birth and the immediate postpartum period. I value evidence-based guidance, emotional reassurance, and hands-on support that respects my autonomy and preferences. I plan to give birth in a hospital setting and would like a doula who is experienced navigating hospital environments, collaborating respectfully with medical staff, and advocating for patient-centered care. While I am open to medical interventions if they become necessary, my goal is to have a low-intervention birth whenever safely possible. I am particularly interested in comfort measures such as breathing techniques, movement and positioning, massage, counterpressure, and continuous emotional support during labor. Clear communication, calm presence, and the ability to help me and my partner understand options in the moment are very important to me. My estimated budget for doula and lactation support is moderate and reflects the value I place on experience, availability, and continuity of care. I am open to discussing packages that include prenatal visits, on-call labor support, postpartum follow-up, and lactation assistance. My birth plan emphasizes informed consent, flexibility, and feeling supported and heard throughout the process. I would like support creating a calm birth environment, minimizing unnecessary interventions, and encouraging immediate skin-to-skin contact after birth when possible. I also value support for my partner so they feel confident and involved during labor and delivery. In addition, I am seeking a lactation consultant who can provide both prenatal education and postpartum, hands-on breastfeeding support. I would like guidance with establishing breastfeeding, ensuring a proper latch, understanding feeding cues, and troubleshooting common challenges such as soreness, supply concerns, or newborn feeding issues. I am interested in evidence-based, nonjudgmental support that aligns with my feeding goals while remaining flexible if circumstances change. Overall, I am looking for professionals who are warm, knowledgeable, inclusive, and respectful, and who can provide reassurance, practical tools, and advocacy to help me feel confident and supported throughout birth and early feeding

I am primarily interested in relatching to help supply catch up with what baby is eating
