Find Lactation Consultant Jobs in Gardena, CA

Hi we are just starting research on Doula services and want to understand what insurance covers vs does not. We have a united healthcare PPO

First baby, planning a hospital birth at Los Robles in Thousand Oaks. Hoping for an unmedicated, low-intervention birth with freedom to move, a water tub if available, and my husband as my primary support person (hoping he gets to catch the baby). Open to nitrous oxide, but want to avoid the Epidural as well as Pitocin unless medically necessary. After birth I'd like delayed cord clamping, immediate skin-to-skin, and a hands-off approach to the placenta unless intervention's needed. I'd also love postpartum support to help us through early recovery and newborn care. Budget: covered under Gold Coast Health Plan (Medi-Cal), so looking for providers who accept that coverage.

Hi, my name is Lauren. I’m an intended parent through gestational surrogacy, and my baby is expected to arrive in early May. I would like to explore induced lactation so I can breastfeed and provide breast milk for my baby if possible.

First Baby and I’m in Rancho Cucamonga need help with breast-feeding two times out of the week

Hi, I’m looking for a lactation consultant that dealt with women that had issues breastfeeding before. I have a 3 year old toddler now and am due with baby boy this November. I have United healthcare insurance. I’m not sure if this is covered, but figure I’d start the process. I’m delivering in Pomona Valley hospital and maybe they also have lactation consultants too. I’m not sure, but would love for someone to come to my home and check all the different pumps and flanges I have and perhaps measure me. I want to make sure I’m doing it right this second time around since first time, I wasn’t producing enough milk so I was supplementing with formula until I stopped breastfeeding after 4 months.

Hi! I’m a 21-year-old married mom of a 2-year-old, currently pregnant with my second baby and going through a separation from my husband. I’m a Christian, and I’m really looking for a doula who can support me physically, emotionally, and spiritually throughout this pregnancy and birth. I’m hoping to have an unmedicated, natural birth and would love to learn breathing techniques, labor positions, and different coping strategies to help me prepare. I’m honestly scared, and one of my biggest goals is to have a positive birth experience and to avoid tearing entirely if possible. I want to learn everything I can to prepare my body and reduce my risk of tearing. I also want to learn more about nutrition during pregnancy, including organic foods and understanding healthy versus less-healthy carbohydrates. I plan to breastfeed again and would love support with preparing for that as well. I also have questions about healthy weight management during pregnancy and postpartum and would love guidance on how to safely care for my body while making sure my baby is properly nourished. My husband and I are separated, but I would like him to be able to learn how to support me during pregnancy and birth if he is willing. I would appreciate a doula who can help educate both of us on what genuine, respectful support can look like during labor and delivery. As a Black mother and woman, I’m also very aware of the disparities and racism Black women can face within the healthcare system. Having someone who can advocate for me, help me understand my options, and make sure my voice is heard and respected during such a vulnerable experience is extremely important to me. I really want to feel safe, informed, empowered, and supported throughout this journey.

15 month old, no difficulties with latch since he was about 1 month old. Recently areola is cracking and fissures are starting. I have put lanolin but it is not improving. Not sure if his latch is worsening the cuts. It hurts a lot to continue nursing (only on left side).
