I offer comprehensive support packages for mamas and their families and I also love supporting families with special challenges such as bottle refusal, muscle tension or pain that causes feeding issues, navigating breastfeeding with food allergies, and ALL the pumping questions! I offer comprehensive flange fitting service so you can use your pump easily, get lots of milk, and be super comfy while pumping. Connect with me today for a great breastfeeding journey!

Most families benefit from more than one visit, but some circumstances may warrant just one in-home visit or a virtual consultation. This is usually for less complex difficulties or for things such as weaning, starting solids, or pumping support consultations. If you would like to schedule a one visit check-in, please contact me to find a good time that will work for both of us.
One hour virtual visit for general breastfeeding questions and concerns. This option is most helpful for those who live out of my large travel radius, or for those who are seeking support for weaning, back to work planning, or starting solids support.
Do you have tons of questions and you’re not quite sure what you even need to know? Maybe you are worried breastfeeding won’t work out for you, or you have heard so many worrisome stories that you are super nervous? Let me put your mind at ease and give you research backed information that will help you be truly prepared for your breastfeeding journey! This 1 hour virtual consult will focus on all the most important elements and give you a safe space to ask all the questions you have. Be confident and knowledgable before your baby even arrives!
I have been an IBCLC for almost 10 years and have been a nurse for more than 25 years. I work with families from pregnancy, through extended breastfeeding for the older baby. I also work with parents navigating exclusive pumping, bottle feeding, and many feeding challenges in the first year. My practice includes prenatal childbirth and breastfeeding education, virtual consults, and home visits. I also offer comprehensive flange fitting service so you can use your pump easily, get lots of milk, and be super comfy while pumping. My mission is to help you meet your breastfeeding and parenting goals in the most supportive and holistic way so that breastfeeding becomes an integral part of your parenting experience.
Jennifer has been absolutely wonderful and provided such reassuring, knowledgeable support when we had concerns about our baby’s weight and difficulties with latching. She took the time to carefully assess, answer all of our questions, and give us practical guidance that made us feel much more confident. We are so grateful for her expertise, patience, and encouragement during such an important and stressful time as new parents.

Dr.Jennifer was super nice to me. All what she said was true as I have applied her advice after the visit! Thanks to her, many problems have been solved, my lactation journey becomes easier!

I rarely take the time to write reviews, but Jennifer at Wolf Lactation absolutely deserves one! About a week and a half before going away for my first trip, I found that my EBF baby would no longer take a bottle. In a panic I searched for lactation consultants and reached out to a few. Jennifer responded to me ASAP and was able to schedule an in-home visit that same week! She spent over an hour with us and then we added on an additional visit to help me with my pump before my trip. Her guidance and expertise made me feel so much more confident about leaving my baby for the first time and I truly don't know what we would have done without her! Highly, highly recommend!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Jennifer. We first met her through The Lactation Network last spring with my first. She was helpful with nipple soreness and latching for my first. She came to the house 3 times and gave incredible advice and tips for nursing. Her breadth of knowledge about breastfeeding was clearly evident. Fast forward to the next spring when I had my second, she would not take a bottle. We missed the natural sucking window, so had to train her to learn how to suck on the bottle nipple. I had 6 weeks before going back to work, so there was a time crunch. She first gave us hope! She taught my husband and I how to train her mouth to learn. We spent a week practicing and “playing” to help her learn. Then she came with a variety of bottle nipples and we were able to find one that she accepted into her mouth. Then we did another week of playing and practicing with that nipple, and finally she was able to latch!! We were very worried at first, but her knowledge and skill again proved to be so helpful and I cannot be more grateful for all that Jennifer taught us, and taught our daughter about feeding with a bottle. If you have ANY lactation needs, you really need Jennifer’s expertise.

Jennifer is absolutely amazing! I cannot say enough positive things about her. After a traumatic delivery, a baby that didn’t latch well, my supply being low, and me originally feeling like I found her too late after delivery, she was there when I needed it most! I met with a lactation consultant before finding her and didn’t get any help. But something told me to keep going and looking, and when I found her, she was just what I needed. She helped with latching, getting my supply up, emotional support, and more! She is very responsive, calm, understanding, flexible, communicates well, empowering, and SO knowledgeable. There is no one better out there to work with! My only regret is not finding her sooner. I will certainly be working with her again when that time comes!

I had the most amazing experience with Jennifer. I was having a myriad of breastfeeding issues and she came to the rescue. She is kind, warm, gentle, nonjudgmental, and so so knowledgeable and I mean KNOWLEDGEABLE! She strikes the perfect balance between knowing everything and showing you everything without overwhelming you. She came to my home with equipment and doodads that proved to be very helpful. The coolest appointment was when we did our flange fitting (there are more shapes and sizes available than you realize!). It changed pumping for me. In my opinion, the earlier you do this on your pumping journey, the less clogged ducts and risk of mastitis you’ll have because you pump more efficiently and painlessly. I wonder if I’d have quit breastfeeding by now if it weren’t for her. Every mom deserves a lactation consultant like Jennifer!

Jennifer is a wonderful resource and support system to have in your corner! Her calm demeanor and wealth of knowledge was so valuable for me as a first time mom. She actually taught our breastfeeding class and from that class my husband and I knew that we would want to book her as my lactation consultant. She’s is incredibly positive and realistic and truly put all my concerns at ease! Couldn’t recommend her enough!
— Kelli Beard
Jennifer is the BEST - so kind and knowledgeable. She was a saving grace and I truly valued her time spent with us. Postpartum is no joke and she was such a bright memory in the haze!
— Deanna Heid
Jen is absolutely amazing! She is so kind, nonjudgmental, and supportive in such a vulnerable time. I would have quit breastfeeding ages ago if it weren’t for her. My family is forever grateful for her help and expertise. I recommend her one thousand percent ❤️
— Jacqueline Schnell
Jennifer was amazing helping us work through reflux, high palette, and bottle introduction! She is a wealth of knowledge and I learned so much. Wish I found her with my first baby!
— Jamie Hagar
Jen was able to answer all our questions and more! Jen's warm personality definitely made it easier for us to ask all the questions. Not many lactation consultants want to travel to my area, but she was able to. Jen gave us clarity on what our feeding issue was which helped with feeding our little one better. She was able to meet us at our house which makes everything so much easier with a newborn. My husband and I are very happy with her. 5 out of 5 stars - highly recommended!
— Czarina Dawn
Jennifer is absolutely amazing! We met Jennifer initially at the hospital and she was very helpful. When we got home and needed some additional help adjusting, I was so grateful that Jennifer also saw families outpatient and in our home. She was full of really helpful knowledge to explain why we were experiencing some of the difficulty that we were and also provided many great tips to improve our experience. Jennifer greatly improved our breastfeeding experience and I would highly recommend her if you are in need of additional support!
