Find Lactation Consultant Jobs Near Middletown, CT

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!

This is my niece’s second child and she was not successful with breastfeeding the first. Would like to provide some help. Identified issue of inverted nipples. We would like someone mature with certification and experience.

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

Looking for a consultant to help us with latch and determine if he needs his lip tie addressed

I would like to get one in one with my flange size. I am struggling and have tried to measure with the nipple chart and I'm still struggling with milk output. I go too small and I go to big. I need help measuring and correct flange size

I have small nipples and my baby struggles to latch on them. I am trying nipple shields after they were recommended by my midwife but am not sure this is a great solution for me and my baby. She no longer recognizes my nipple and doesn’t seem to be gaining her weight back.

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.

looking for a lactation consultant to help with latching

I need help getting my 5 month old baby to latch on the breast again. He is refusing the breast and only wants the bottle or pacifiers. I’m unsure if it’s a nursing strike or if he’s done with breastfeeding but I really wants him to latch on the breast again and don’t want to be done with my breastfeeding journey until he’s at least 1 year old

I live in Ledyard, CT, but I plan to give birth at South County Hospital in Wakefield, RI. I am still working out the details of my birth plan, but I am hoping to have an unmedicated birth. This is my first baby, so someone knowledgeable about breastfeeding and establishing newborn sleep patterns would be appreciated. I have TriCare Prime.

My daughter has a shallow latch that despite my best efforts I havent been able to fix. The biggest issue is that she won’t open her mouth wide enough and all the tricks I’ve learned (tickling chin, nipple to nose, sandwiching my breast) haven’t made a difference. It’s especially painful at night when she side latches so I can rest as she nurses and then she spits up virtually all of her milk. I need help figuring out why she won’t open her mouth wider. This is my second child and I didn’t have this issue the first time. I’m available during the day. I live in Longmeadow MA.

We plan on giving birth at the hospital as it is our first and I found out I have gestational diabetes. We don't know what to expect for budgeting for a doula, we're hoping to have someone who's fully authorized and certified with Tricare for direct billing. Natural birth, hopefully unmedicated, lots of movement, and showers hopefully helping with the pain. I'm really wanting to try to deliver vaginally, but I'm nervous about my size and pain management.

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.
