Natalie Price Cole Lactation Consultant in Corrales, NM

working with Natalie from newborn to over one year has been absolutely invaluable in supporting both me and my baby through the journey of breastfeeding. In those first few days after birth I was at my wits end and in so much pain. She helped me with latch techniques, ensuring my baby was feeding effectively, and addressed any initial challenges like nipple pain, burping and even went over my pump parts to ensure it fit my breast properly. She also educated me on recognizing my baby's feeding cues and offered many solutions for managing issues with my milk production and ensuring my baby was gaining weight. As my baby grew, the consultants continued to guide me through feeding schedules, my transition to working full time and being away from my baby, milk storage, and challenges like teething and growth spurts that sometimes disrupted feeding. She also supported me in transitioning to solid foods when we felt ready and educated me on choking and signs to look for and showing me how to balance breastfeeding with introducing new foods. Throughout the year, her emotional support and expert advice gave me the knowledge and confidence to meet my breastfeeding goals even when I felt this journey was near impossible due to my lack of supply.

I reached out to Natalie with help breastfeeding as a first time mom. We saw her within a few days of coming home from the hospital. She helped us work through milk transfer issues, lack of weight gain and low milk supply. Her support was invaluable during our first weeks with a newborn. She was always professional, kind and encouraging. She made sure that the support she provided was in alignment with my goals. Natalie has continued to be a resource for us for a variety of feeding needs in baby’s first year and we are so grateful to have her in our village. We just reached a year of breastfeeding and I couldn’t have done it without Natalie.
