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

Hi, my name is Lauren. I’m an intended parent [personal details hidden], 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.

I am planning to give birth in a hospital and am looking for a certified doula who accepts or is familiar with TRICARE Prime coverage. I'm not sure what to expect regarding the cost, so I am hoping to find someone whose services are covered by TRICARE or eligible for reimbursement. I am due on November 20, 2026. My birth plan is to try a low-dose epidural at first, with the option to increase it if needed. My goal is to have the best pain relief possible while maintaining safety for me and my baby. I prefer to avoid Pitocin unless it is medically necessary. I would also like to avoid giving birth flat on my back if possible and would prefer to labor and deliver in side-lying or other upright, supported positions as appropriate. During labor, I would like to use comfort measures such as a birth ball, peanut ball, and squat bar, and I prefer intermittent fetal monitoring if it is safe for me and my baby. After birth, I would like delayed cord clamping, to leave the vernix on my baby rather than wiping it off immediately, and to have uninterrupted skin-to-skin contact with either me or the baby's father for about the first hour before routine newborn assessments, provided my baby is healthy and does not require urgent medical care. I would prefer to delay the hospital bath and decline routine eye ointment unless it is medically necessary or required. I understand that my birth preferences may need to change if there is a medical concern for me or my baby. I am looking for a certified doula with at least 10 years of experience supporting hospital births. [personal details hidden], this is my first pregnancy, and I plan to breastfeed if possible but am open to supplementing with formula if medically necessary. I would also appreciate postpartum support, including newborn education, breastfeeding guidance, and sleep training support after my baby is born. Most importantly, I am looking for a doula who complements my husband's role rather than replaces it. As first-time parents, we want someone who can help create a calm, low-stress environment, guide my husband on ways to comfort and support me during labor, and empower us to work together as a team throughout the birth experience.

I’m not producing enough milk I’m 1 week postpartum, I want to know if my baby is latching properly

Hi! I recently welcomed my first baby and am looking for postpartum support, specifically someone who can help with breastfeeding/lactation and overnight newborn care. As a first time mom, I’m still learning breastfeeding and pumping and would really appreciate guidance with things like latch, positioning, milk supply, pumping, engorgement, and making sure my baby is feeding well. I’m hoping to find someone who is patient, reassuring, and experienced with supporting moms in the early postpartum period. I’m also interested in nighttime help so my partner and I can get some rest. Since [personal details hidden], it’s especially important to me to find someone who is experienced with newborns and early term/preterm babies. I’d love to hear about your experience, availability, what your overnight services include, whether you provide lactation support or are an IBCLC, and your rates/minimum number of hours. I’m looking for someone compassionate, knowledgeable, and calming who can help us feel more confident as we adjust to life with our new baby. ❤️

My name is Ely Anne [name hidden]. My due date is 10/31/26, insurance is Tricare West and zip code is [personal details hidden] 90015. Thank you.

Hi! I’m reaching out because I’ve been exclusively pumping using stimulation mode on my Motif wearable pump for the past 4 months. I have inverted nipples, my milk supply is low and both my nipples and areola get pulled into the flange while pumping. I recently tried expression mode and I have some pain during it. I’m wondering if I may have elastic nipples, if my flange size is incorrect, or if I’m using my pump properly. I’d love some guidance on whether I’m pumping correctly and how to make pumping more comfortable and effective. Thank you

Over supply producing 80 ounces a day, [personal details hidden] still have knots

I plan to give birht in a hospital. My estimated budget is $3100. I plan to give unmedicated vaginal birth. I require my provider to be doula certified.

we have been trying to transition our 4+mo breastfed baby to one bottle for a few weeks with little to no success and seeking some expertise. She did take a bottle at 2mo a few times when offered. We’ve tried different bottles flows warming/cold positions environments etc with different people offering (myself husband and doula). [personal details hidden] She sometimes will allow the bottle in her mouth and took a total of 5 ounces with my husband and the doula while I was at work over a 13 hour period. When she does allow the bottle in her mouth she has trouble latching, or may begin fussing and crying. She often makes a yucky face but will try again. She seems to prefer the nipple and milk warmed. Tested the milk and it is sweet with no chemical taste. Looking for insurance converted providers through Anthem CA BCBS PPO

Lastly, I would appreciate someone who can help me navigate breastfeeding and pumping for twins, especially since I have a rocky history with breastfeeding and pumping for my first born. Someone well versed with twin pregnancies would be highly appreciated.
