Find Lactation Consultant Jobs Near Holyoke, MA

Hello, I am 31 years old, 7 weeks postpartum with my second and I am Looking to see if relactation is possible. I have already started menstruating again. My baby had a good latch right out of the hospital, but I quickly developed a postpartum fever and hypertension upon discharge. Because of the additional stress on my body, we decided to formula feel. However, my daughter is having a hard time with gas and bowel movements even after trying different formulas. They are causing her to be extremely gassy & fussy & I don’t want to continue looking for a formula that might work. We are a single income home, so any services offered on a sliding scale or of a reasonable price would be appreciated.

Looking for lactation consultant to guide me through first time breastfeeding journey for my 2nd baby. Home visits are a must

Giving birth at Baystate Hospital in Springfield, Ma. I need a lactation expert who accepts MassHealth insurance. My birth plan is to avoid being induced with pitocin, avoiding cervical checks unless necessary, more than likely getting the epidural, avoiding a c section unless 100% necessary, delayed cord clamping, skin to skin immediately, all medical checks for baby done in the room, and I plan to breastfeed primarily and formula as a back up if necessary.

I feel like I’m not producing enough she seems really hungry at night after being on breast all day. In the first week- 2 weeks I was pumping enough to make a small stash. That stash is almost gone because at night that’s what she eats so I know she’s getting something. I now don’t even get an ounce from pumping

This is my first pregnancy, so I’m looking for someone who can guide me and my partner through the process, be an expert sounding board, and to advise us. I have not confirmed just yet but will likely give birth at UMass Memorial in Worcester. My insurance Cigna covers Doula services so hoping to leverage this for payment. I ideally want a natural birth but want to connect with the doula for advice.

My baby is 4/5 months almost now. Breastfeeding has been good. Up until 2/3 months she’s been having green water ish poop. Her dr said she’s been gaining weight so she’s not concerned. She has reflux. I just cut dairy out of my diet to see if it helps. But still she is fussy at the breast. Screaming everytime I try to feed her. I’m worried she’s not getting enough. She went from eating on both breast per feeding 10 minutes a side to barelyb3-4 on each side now. Sometimes less. I’m not sure what’s changed but I feel bad she doesn’t enjoy eating like she used to and cries so much. Worried my supply might drop or she’s just not Gettitn enough.

I am looking to boost my milk supply as a women with PCOS

I am currently pregnant with my second child (a boy). My first delivery in short was a series of unfortunate events that ended in a c section. I would to try for a TOLAC/VBAC. My doctors have said I’m a great candidate for it. I plan on giving birth at Baystate in Springfield MA. I am have a lot of anxiety about my birth not only due to the last time but this time around there has been a lot of miss communication and I just don’t want to be worried about everyone being on the same page while trying to have a successful labor. While having an epidural isn’t out of the question or having other medical interventions isn’t out of the question I’d like to just let my body do its thing and labor naturally with alternative pain management methods. I honestly have zero idea what a doula even costs to even know what is reasonable, if it’s covered by insurance etc.

Hi! I’m a first-time mom and currently pregnant. I’m looking for guidance on breastfeeding as I don’t have prior experience and would like to better understand how everything works. I’m interested in a combination approach (breastfeeding and bottle feeding), as my fiancé would like to be involved in feeding our baby as well. I’d like support understanding how to establish milk supply, when and how to introduce a bottle, and how to incorporate pumping into a routine. I also have questions about frequency of pumping, maintaining supply, and what a realistic feeding routine looks like in the early weeks. Overall, I’m looking for education, guidance, and support so I can feel confident going into this experience. Thank you!
