I need some hands on help with breastfeeding a sleepy, fussy, slow eater baby. We have been breastfeeding, but she makes hungry cues even after long breastfeeding sessions. I try to keep her awake by being out of the swaddle and engaging her with touch, but she still falls asleep. We have supplemented with formula to satisfy her hunger after a breastfeeding session.
I am planning to give birth at Frederick Health Hospital (Frederick General Hospital) in Frederick, Maryland. My estimated due date is May 15, 2026. This will be my second baby, and I am hoping for a supportive birth environment with a doula who is familiar with hospital births. am looking to work with a doula who accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance or whose services may be covered or partially reimbursed through this insurance. I am also interested in postpartum support for approximately two weeks after delivery, so I am open to discussing the budget depending on insurance coverage and the services included My goal is to have a natural, unmedicated birth if possible. I would appreciate a doula who can provide calm emotional support, help with breathing techniques and labor positions, and support my preferences for a low-intervention birth whenever it is safe for both baby and me. Since this is my second baby, I am hoping for a smooth experience with guidance during labor and reassurance throughout the process.
I am inquiring on behalf of my son and daughter-in-law who just had their second baby. Baby is not latching on… Milk is not coming in. They are giving formula but still want to breast-feed… So we just want someone to come in and help her get the baby latched and show her what techniques to use before she completely gives up.
My wife is having some difficulty with one of her breasts. The nipple on her right side was bruised due to a bad latch (or more than one) and now we over rely on the left breast. When she tries the right side, it hurts and there was recently some blood. We are hoping to find someone to help remedy this problem so that it doesn't lead to a bigger problem.
Looking for a lactation consultant who accepts insurance (Carefirst).
I'm having trouble with a painful latch and ineffective nursing with my 5 day old. I'm also still feeling engorged after pumping
I plan to give birth at home, with a midwife, budget is dependent on services provided, looking for a doula and lactation consultant that takes tricare prime, who speaks. Thank you!
John Hopkins Hospital Price: $1,800-2,000 My goal is to have an Unmedicated birth. This will be baby #2 for us. I had a pretty bad experience with my first where my wishes and concerns were completely ignored. I really wish I had someone there to advocate for me when I couldn’t think clearly, my nurse was very evil person and caused a lot of pain and negativity while I was in labor. I get back labor, and the pain is so unbearable I’d really need someone to help me cope and push through! I’d also love a doula who is very informative on certain things hospitals tend to force mothers into. Would love if my doula were seasoned with At least 4 years of experience. I had a very hard time with postpartum recovery which I believe hindered me from being able to breastfeed since I was under so much stress. I would really love to breastfeed this time around.

In person lactation consult. Baby won't latch. Was nursing done in hospital. Is talking breastmilk in bottle
I am planning to give birth in a hospital and am specifically looking for a doula who has strong experience supporting natural, unmedicated births. My goal is to have a calm, low-intervention labor using natural pain management techniques such as breathing, movement, positioning, and relaxation. I want someone who can provide continuous emotional and physical support, help me stay grounded, and advocate for my birth preferences throughout the process. It’s very important to me to feel empowered and in control of my experience. I am open to necessary medical interventions only if absolutely needed for safety. I would also appreciate some postpartum support if available. I currently have Medicaid, so I am interested in doulas who accept Medicaid or offer flexible/payment plan options. As a mom of two, I value patience, clear communication, and a comforting presence.

My baby won’t latch to my breast, I want to breastfeed her. We have been using a nipple shield since the hospital and doing an SNS with formula, but now that my milk is in I want to breastfeed but she won’t latch.
Hi, Since my baby was born I’m having problems with latching. Is very painful. I tried different positions and strategies and is still very painful. Sometimes even after pump my nipple is sore. In a couple times it haven’t hurt but most of time it hurts.
We’re moving midway through the pregnancy to the DC region, Maryland side. We’ll probably live in the Rockville area but I’m hoping to give birth with the midwives at George Washington University’s hospital. I’m looking for a labor doula to support an unmediated birth. I also struggled with low supply with my first child so I’m hoping to find a lactation consultant who specialises in that. We have Tricare, which covers both doulas and IBCLCs.
Holy Cross Hospital in Silcer Spring, MD. Hoping to be $1000 or less for birth doula. Hospital birth with limited interventions. Although I’m not against epidural if I feel it’s necessary for pain. Looking for an advocate for myself and husband.
I'm 27 weeks pregnant with twins (first pregnancy) and am looking for an IBCLC to prepare for breastfeeding. I am also looking for a night doula/night nanny to help in the first few weeks or months of my babies' lives. I'm giving birth in a hospital and am hoping for a vaginal birth (depending on how the twins present).
